I feel so great because.....

[shashee]

My health is improving... I can breath better
I finally fit into a size 14, size 12 is on that sunny horizon...
I have more energy and i no longer have an *** imprint on the sofa!
I think Im looking so fantabulous (and all of you should too), that I look twice at myself in the mirror instead of not looking at all....
This WOE is so easy to adapt to, I know I can eat like this forever, pass the steak.

I feel great because I love who i am, and how im feeling now!!

How great do you feel??

[texwife&mom]

because I can wear clothes that I wore over 3 years ago. Those leather pants I got from the GAP outlet ($50 what a deal!!) and wore once before ballooning to almost 200lbs are just around the corner. My hubby called this morning just to say he is really proud of all the work I am putting into this new way of life, and to say that I am looking really good!!!!--Of all of the inspiration I am getting from the amazing people on this board!!!

I feel so great that I'm allowed to eat!

We were touring houses today (I'm a Realtor), and they had a chinese luncheon buffet. I had chicken wings (no sauce) and pork slices (again, no sauce). I skipped the rice and the duck sauce, neither of which appealed to me. Afterwards, a fellow realtor was complaining that she shouldn't have eaten any of that stuff, and she "was doing so well until today!" I just laughed and said, "That was all legal stuff for me, and I enjoyed every bite!"

To all the people that think Atkins is too restrictive, I beg to differ. I've felt restricted my whole life, until I started this WOL, and THAT is a great feeling.

[shashee]

Im right there with ya... Every other "diet" (I dont refer to Atkins as a diet) has always restricted me, now I feel like im still eating all the good food in the world...... It doesnt have to be sweet to be good, nor does a sandwich have to be on a roll etc to be a sandwich.

I love this WOE and WOL

I feel great because atkins is so effortless, :yes I also feel great because my clothes are getting looser :joy & because school's out for summer, so now I can continue to lose weight so that by the time the new semester starts, I'll have people shocked :icondance

I feel so great, because my big clothes are now in a consignment store, and I can buy new ones, I am getting compliments on a daily basis, I can wear shorts this summer, I love to workout at the gym, and my DH is always looking at me with a gaga look... :joy And of course, this woe isn't hard work, and I feel in control!!

[Mary-chan]

I feel great just being in control of my appetite! Every other diet I've been on, I would just obsess and obsess about food, and think about what I would eat "once I got skinny", and of course then I would succumb to the cravings and fail. On this WOL, food is NOT an obssession, and sometimes it is very easy for me to forget to eat! Unheard of before!

I feel great because most of the clothes that I took out this spring are now too big on me, I have tons of energy and I'm eating so many delicious things! The last time I lost 30 pounds, it took me 6 months of really depriving myself to lose it, and then, when I finally gave up and gained it all back, I felt like such a weakling. This time, it took 11 weeks to lose 30 pounds and I feel like I can continue to eat this way for the rest of my life. I'm excited about what is to come, rather than looking into a bleak future of deprivation!
