Hi Everyone, I'm back again and am grateful that this board is here. I am totally shot -- this last year has been amazingly stressful for me and I have been "dealing" with this stress through daily ice cream and fatty foods......I'm now at the highest weight I've ever been at, I'm totally exhausted. The stress is still happening but I can't go on eating like this -- I'm trying Atkins again because it's the only WOE that I've ever found that kills my cravings -- and the high fat that I can eat will hopefully "feed my stress".....thanks for listening - and being here.

Re: Hi - I'm Back
Welcome back, Heidi. I certainly can relate about how stress and eating can be a disaster. If there is anything i can do, don't hesitate to yell. -
Re: Hi - I'm Back
Welcome back Heidi. Sorry to hear about your stressful times. This way of life really does help us mangage some of the stress, and I've found that adding exercise has also helped. We're all here for you.

Re: Hi - I'm Back
Heidi! I can relate to the stresses of life! I started Atkins due to stress in my life and a life so out of control (and I like to control things) We were a direct hit with Hurricane Rita and lost our entire house. It's been a year and then some of having our lives held in someone elses hands - insurance, FEMA, SBA, rebuilding, etc. I found myself in a very deep depression while my husband was in California for work and I was home with 3 kids, full time work and all this mess on my shoulders. I'm surprised I didn't have a nervous breakdown!! I started Atkins and you know what? I have a clear mind that can focus on what needs to be done. I have the energy to DO the things that need to be done. I am seeing results and have the power back in MY court. Taking control of my eating overflowed into so many other areas of my life.
Welcome! I wish you the very best in ironing out the stresses in your life
