Well, thanks to me ignoring my health, I have to start from scratch again 
I had a spinal cord flare up, thanks to MS, and was in the hospital, stuck to IV steroids with an appetite for everything.. Add in the depression and PMS (Yeah, i know, this is a bit TMI) I said to *heck* with it.. I know Atkins works for me and I will jump back on once this issue clears.. So, I'm restarting Monday.. In a way, I'm glad this happened.. I'm one of those people who gets a thrill from starting over once in awhile.. The good news is this.. I was following Atkins for about 4 months and after they ran all my blood tests at the hospital, they found that I only had low 'good' cholesterol. My triglyceride levels, they say, were awesome and they all knew I was low carbing (They even attempted to form my meals around the diet, which I thought was great!) So, now I have proof from the medical community that my body is capable of handling this diet as well. I just have to buckle down and take care of the MS too which is going to require a shot every day for the rest of my life. After what I was through the past 10 days, it's a very small price I have to pay.. Thanks for letting me whine..
