      When someone talks about my being good-looking, I want them to use the word, "IS", and not "WAS".

            My sister is the same way - she's always been rail thin, and the type who eats junk food but never gains weight. She's been teasing me all my life about my weight, and looking down her nose at me. I am away from my family and going to college, so I'd love to see the look on her face after I lose 40 pounds and strut by her when I visit. :P

              I love that feeling when you've been away for a while and you go stomping back home and everyone is, like 'Wow!' - it's like being in a bad makeover movie, but is such a kick!!

                When I ate the way I did before Atkins, I only felt good while I was chowing down extra helpings of starch and sugar. The rest of the time I felt lousy, like chronic fatigue, and the higher the number on the scales got, the lower my self esteem went. On Atkins, all that is over.

                          I'll never have to wonder whether I'm meeting my nutritional needs.

                          There is this board of wonderful people to be my support group should I ever want or need it.

                          Thousands of dollars worth of gently worn clothing will be put to good use again.

                          If my menu gets mundane, there's as much or more menu variety available for Atkins menus as any I've seen touting pasta, potatoes, and pastry.
