Well, now, I suppose I really have to get serious about low carbing and finally losing this weight once and for all. I screwed around too long going on and off Atkins, going up and down the scale the past few years. I just got told by my doctor that I have Type II Diabetes. Even though I my A1c level was normal (test that checks your blood sugar level)--they think that my Gest. Diabetes from my pregnancy last year, just never went away. I got to my highest weight ever being pregnant: 420 lbs. I am so super bummed out. I was hoping I would lose the weight before I got to this point but I just wasn't fast enough. I can only blame myself as I am the one who got me here. I am trying hard to deal with this diagnoses and trying to learn what this means for me. I saw the nutritionist and after our first meeting, I finally had to tell her that the "normal" USDA Pyramid is not gonna work for me and I didn't like it. I told her that I wanted to do low carb and that I would do better on that than the starchy-crappy-pyramid. To my surprise, she was all for it! She just told me to make sure I know how to use my meter and make sure my blood sugar doesn't go too low on it. Time for me now to truly get serious; I can't keep doing Atkins over and over again and giving up; now, truly my life is at stake. Let this be a lesson to all of you out there who are struggling with your weight and have been overweight for years and been off, on, off, on, etc, on Plan, sitting on the fence between on Atkins seriously and eating your old ways. Get real with your weight loss before your body gets real with you. I never really thought I would get diabetes but surprise--here I am. And you could be here, too, if you don't finally hop off the fence to the Atkins side and seriously take your life into your own hands. Lose weight low carbing now, while you have the chance to do it before you are told you have diabetes too. I seriously regret screwing around soooo long. I would do anything to do it over and lose this weight for good. I say this out of love for you all here, so you don't end up like me. 
So it is possible!
