Hi everyone,
I'm starting induction tomorrow. I'm new here, but not new to Atkins. Lost about 30 lbs a few years ago, but as we all know things happen. I just found out I have osteoarthritis (basically all over my body, fibromyalgia, possibly Lupus, my back is already starting the degenerative process, HBP....well I could go on but I won't. I know all this fat I'm carrying around doesnt help, so hoping to get some of it off for my health. But I want to get this weight off to feel good about myself.
You know it seems I've been overweight my whole life. I've fought this battle so many times with all kinds of diets. I always wondered if I got sick and the dr. said you've got to get this weight off your life depends on it, would I do it. I still don't know. I know the dr. died tell me get some of this weight off your joints now. I want to remember what it feels like to feel good about myself again. I want to remember what it feels like to walk a short distance and not be out of breath. I want to remember what it feels like not to be ashamed and think people are looking at me because i'm fat. I feel bad physically, but I feel really bad regarding my self image and how I feel about myself. Definately not loving myself right now. I expect that to change and only I can make that happen. Noone else. So I'm not going to kill myself trying to be perfect, if I make a mistake I'll deal with it and go on. But I'm in a battle right now with myself
success or fail, health or sickness... I want success. So here I go!
Anyway I hope to get back on track and start exercising also. Maybe I can stop some of the damage I've already done to this body over the years and start treating me good.
I would appreciate any help and support and look forward to meeting you all.
BTW - how do you do the tickers?
