Where do I get my own "buddy/mentor" ???

[apopson]

I am just about through the book again. I can't believe I didn't read it again before I've tried this ... the last time I read the book was like 6 years ago!!!!! Then, since then, I've tried the diet twice again. But, I totally lost a LOT of what I had previously read. NO WONDER I have NOT been successfull!

Well ... this coming Monday ... I am starting a few NEW things. #1 - this diet BY THE BOOK - 100% and a new job.

I would LOVE to find someone who I could correspond with on a frequent basis. I mean, I love hearing/reading from ALL on the boards, but ... maybe I could have one friend who I could just bother and scream to when I have cravings, etc. I have 83 to lose ... I'm not in a hurry at all. I want to do this the right way. But, I am an emotional eater and ... well, I just know I'm going to need some hand holding.

Lemme know if someone wants to adopt me. And, if this is covered somewhere on the boards already, I've just not found it yet so point me in the right direction.

Thanks much!

There is alot of support here for anyone who wants it.
There is an area somewhere you can ask for a mentor- but maybe somebody else will tell you where it is - I couldn't see it. Let me know if you're not successful and I'll be glad to support you.

Well, i'm new to the board and just restarted Atkins myself. But we have similar start weights (me at 216) and similar goal weights (only off by one lb! *L*). So while I couldn't mentor you, if you have any instant message programs i'd be happy to be a weight loss buddy!
