Hi
I live in England am 27 and restarting atkins.
I am looking for a support buddy that I can check in with and help each other along the way.
I am 5'3" and currently weight 121lbs, my aim is to get back to 105-108lbs
I have a few issues that work against me, I guess you could call them excuses but I am finding them obstacles that i need a bit of support to jump over shall we sau
1) I have multiple sclerosis so often get fatigued which makes me too tired for excercise and also often leaves me feeling weak and dizzy which I use an excuse to break my diet and also sometimes makes me too tired to cook
2) I looooove beer and wine and most alcohol in general. I know you are not allowed it on induction and only in smaller amounts in latter stages but I cannot give it up for more than say 7 days, trust me I have tried many many times and the failure just leaves me feeling worse so I usually just allow it one or two evenings per week and I can still lose doing this on the atkins plan, not sure how or why and i know people will frown on it but hey i have given so much up cos of my ms I really dont want to lose one of the few guilty pleasures i have left! so i have to find ways to factor it into my plan, no lectures please haha i know i know
3) My boyfriend goes mad whenever i try to lose weight insisting i am "perfect" as I am, which is lovely but he doesnt realise that being this weight is making me hate myself and causing me social anxiety that causes me to turn down invitations to go out and so on, yeah very shallow I know and in the light of my health problems i shouldnt be so focussed on my appearance, but I am sick of feeling uncomfortable in my own skin, life is for enjoying not worrying every minute about how big and bloated i now feel
anyway if anyone can relate then reply to this post or drop me a pm
cheers
