Happy New Year STACers,
It's a brand new year. Today is the beginning of a new start, a fresh start and a whole new year. I am so excited! I have arrived at a date I picked out long ago. It's not what I weight, it's "WHO I AM BECOMING" that I am so proud of today.
I have control over eating, drinking and exercise!
I have self confidence
I feel great
My future is bright
I can do what I set out in my mind to do and accomplish!
I am an overcomer again!
I am stronger than I thought I would be at this moment in time.
One of my dreams was to be here today, feeling the way I do. How did this happen, little by little, step by step...one day at a time.
To the newbies I would say, "know why you are doing this" don't think short term, "when I get off this diet"...Atkins is a way of life and a way of eating for life. Know why you are doing it! Do NOT cheat, because it will reverse all that you have done, and put you back into the cycle of carbs controlling you.
Know why you are doing it, KNOW what to do, and just do it, and know we are here for you.

- I focused on low carb foods,
- never went out without a plan of what I would eat and when I would eat it.
- Called ahead at resturants,
- took baggies of food to parties.
- Politely declined some invitations that were too much.
- Never went into a highly tempting situation alone,
- always took a water bottle to a social function with foods.
- Exericsed 6 days a week, regardless.
- Went to bed when tired!
- Got up very early to come here and focus,
- kept the right grocheries in the house.
- Let the bad days roll off my back.
- Kept educating myself on lowcarbing
- Kept educating myself on exercise
- Took positive action with my knowledge base
- Got involved here in a "pay it forward" opportunity
