Restarting on Thanksgiving Day!

[Jack0423]

I had great success on Atkins starting in June of 03, Lost 159 pounds, What an awesome feeling. Then starting earlier this year I started to gain weight. I started at 324 pounds got down to 165, Now I'm 200.5. And today it stops, I'm starting on Thankgiving, What better day to challenge myself. I'm commited to staying the course. So if you have Ben & Jerry's stock, Sell it. I'm done cheating. For me dieting is 99% mental. I became mentally weak and let myself gain nearly 36 pounds. Nothing is more depressing then going from a 46 waist to a 34" waist. Then having to buy 36" Waist pants with the extra STRECH band in them for comfort. Every AM, I would head to the closet and see all my 34" waist pants that i cannot wear. The Atkins way of life and this board have helped me big time in the past. I'm giving myself an early 2007 present, I refuse to wait until New Years to tackle this challenge. I'm determined and out of my funk!
I have so much to be thankful for and one of them is Dr. Atkins.
Happy Thanksgiving
