  • Happy 3rd Anniversary ADBB! From Tabekat

    Happy 3rd Anniversary ADBB!!!! Newbies - Take a moment to read the Anniversay posts - Some great stuff going on at the ADBB today!

    Just think, in one year, its going to be you thanking the ADBB for a great year!

    I love the ADBB. Without you, this would have been a lonely and a difficult year and I probably would not have suceeded on Atkins. With you, I have found peace of mind.

    I have lost 50 pounds.

    I have thrown away my diabetic medication.

    I live a guilt free life.

    I no longer worry about the weight going up and up and up year after year.

    I am impervious to junk food and drive ins and binges.

    I never get on the scale unless I'm at the doctors because I just don't care what I weigh anymore!!!!

    I'm wearing a loose size 16 and headed down to a 14.

    I love my body and we enjoy our life experiences together.

    My moods have stabalized. I no longer cope with constant ups and downs.

    (And I'm no longer ashamed to get on top! ))

    I have looked back at my original posts today and they brought a smile. Especially the posts in the depression forum. I have changed so much. Atkins and the ADBB pulled me out of my depression. Its like reading about a different person. I'm so grateful.

    There is no possible way I can remember to thank everyone who helped me through my first year on Atkins. For those I skipped, forgive me. Everyone at the ADBB is family.

    I'd like to personally thank the following people.

    Moochie Cat - For honest communication, humor, and great support. For not taking any newbie BS from me!
    I hear people complain when the moderators are strict, but I know for myself that had I not been pushed to take induction all the way, I would not have found the success I did. For endless regurgitation. (heh, heh)


    I really appreciate the volunteer moderators who put the truth out there, even if it means someone may not like their advice.

    Canuck - For helping newbies in the diabetic forum and for dedicating a button to me! (I'll take a pork chop over glucophage any day!) Canuck is fun and gives EXTROIDINARY service to others.

    Cleochatra - For humor and friendship and heart and honesty. What a wonderful human being you are!
    For always telling the exact truth.

    Peterlock - For everything - now where the heck have you gotten to? For giving up cigs! I love you!!!!

    Elizellen - For inspiration, wise posting, always giving service to others. And gently, not a sledgehammer like me.

    DesertThorn - For friendship and for caring enough to check up on me.

    2big4mysize - For scientific expertise, wise posting, never ending service to others - may we never take you for granted.

    Perry - For your endless and often thankless service to others on this board - for saying no but in a nice way. lol..

    Richt - For your magnificent service to others on the board - You are nice - really nice! Yummy pics!

    Kent - Your pics are astonishing, but its your dedication to the ADBB that keeps us seeing those pics. Thank you!
    IrishIrish - For inspiration and service to others. Where are you dear one?

    SugarfreeSheila - For inspiration and service to others.
    Great website and recipes - especially to refer the skeptical younger generation to. Your advice is really
    good for kids with eating disorders too.

    Bikergoddess - For always sharing something wise and unusual beyond the ordinary. For using real life examples to demonstrate a point. I admire that.

    There was a superfit gentleman who gave me advice on what vitamins to take for diabetes. I don't remember who he was, but I sure appreciate the valuable advice.

    Papajack - For the most inspiring pics and hilarious documentation of an Atkins journey ever.

      Tabekat-- I love you, girl! You know it. Thanks so much for the undeserved but kind words. If there's someone who can put it out there and crack me up at the same time with your biting wit, it's you. I'm blessed to know you. And seeing your success, even moreso! I missed you while you were away something fierce. I think you're wunnerful.
