Re: Because of Atkins...what else in your life has changed?
I had to reply to this post because of how much my life has changed in the past 18 month since I started atkins.
I think the main point is that I have gotten rid of my "fat girl" issues. I was very defensive and sulky because I felt so bad inside - I would assume that everybody was judging me on my weight so would get in there first. Now, even though I'm not the skinniest girl in the world, I am at a weight where my weight isn't an issue. I would like to lose more (vanity mainly) but it's just a freedom not to be defined by it.
As a result of Atkins i have also given up smoking, taken up spanish lessons, found a boyfriend, got a new job and joined a gym. When I was overweight I felt so out of control and the classic vicious cyle where the more I ate, the more depressed I got so I would eat. Atkins works for me because it takes the "issues" out of food - when I am hungry I will eat. I don't have a constant battle with myself and food - i know i will be following the low carb woe eating forever as I know if I come off it I will be right where I started again and I didn't like that person.
