After replying to a few posts, I figured I'd better introduce myself!
I'm from Southwest Louisiana - hit very hard by Rita. We have three kids - 17, 14 and 11. Two dogs, two cats and ..5 chickens. We are struggling to rebuild our lives after the hurricane and after months of feeling depressed and overwhelmed and tired and angry, I decided to give Atkins another shot. I need some stability in my life.
I followed Atkins 6 years ago and lost 50 pounds. That gave me the courage to get my dream job and I know work from home doing what I love. In the 5 years of working.. I have gained back all 50 pounds!
Time to get myself in shape for my own well being and that of my family. Losing my FIL in November of last year was very hard. I realized just how short time can be. When you add in family history and health problems.. I am shortening my OWN life! I gotta do something.
My husband is wonderful at helping me through the rough spots. My son oversees my exercising <grin> And the girls help with creative foods.
It's been 1.5 weeks now and I feel so much better. My husband says he can tell I have lost inches. I just feel better about myself knowing I'm finally taking control.
Remind me of all this self-help talk in 3 months HAHA.
I look forward to getting to know the folks on the board and sharing ideas and support. I did notice SugarFreeSheila was here! Hey!! I remember you from the AOL boards.
Time to scoot. Work to be done!
Best wishes!
