      Excellent reason to stay on Atkins ---- if you go off Atkins ADBB members will kick you!

      Another: To stay out of elastic and stretchy clothes.

        Because of food trends nowadays, even French Women Do Get Fat (despite what the Google Banner ad that goes to http://www.frenchwomendontgetfat.com...keycode=R28456 says)



        http://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/25/in...erland&emc=rss
        Exerpt:
        Some of the reasons for the increase in obesity are those that plague the United States and much of Europe: the lure of fast food and prepared foods, the ubiquity of unhealthy snacks and sedentary lives.

        McDonald's is more profitable in France than anywhere else in Europe. Sales have increased 42 percent over the past five years. Some 1.2 million French, or 2 percent of the population, eat there every day.

        There has also been a breakdown in the classical French tradition of mealtime as a family ritual so disciplined and honored that opening the refrigerator between meals for a child was a crime worthy of punishment. A side effect is a blame-the-mom syndrome, as fewer mothers have time to shop at markets every day or two for fresh foods and instead put more prepared dishes on the table.

        Findus, the frozen food giant best known for its breaded, frozen fish filets, filmed French people eating over a period of time and was shocked by the results.

        Contrary to the myth that the French spend hours sitting around the table savoring small portions of several courses, the films showed them eating in front of their television sets, while on the telephone and even alone. In fact, the average French meal, which 25 years ago lasted 88 minutes, is just 38 minutes today.

        With all the awareness of obesity, there is also a countertrend. The French may have begun to embrace the large woman.

          Because...

          I want to fit in the seats of economy class in airplanes...

          I want to know what's like to be able to shop for clothes at normal stores (in chile there's no such thing as plus sizes stores... so I just have to buy mens or pregnant women cloths)

          To prevent myself of murdering my family that constantly tell me "you'd be so pretty if you where thin... what a shame..."

          I want to start living in the world instead of hiding from it

          And I really don't want to be again the person I was before I started.

                      Don't be so sure about that - ever heard of saggage?

                        Since I've been on Atkins, my complexion is clearer,
                        my skin is softer,
                        my feet no longer hurt when I stand,
                        I'm not "starving" all day long as I used to be even while eating all day long,
                        I've stopped splitting my pants when I sit down,
                        and I don't feel compelled anymore to hide when someone pulls out a camera.

                          Before Atkins, I could gain 50 pounds in 6 months without trying, just by eating what I wanted, without restriction. The carb engine just kept wanting more, more, more while the weight crept up, up, up.

                          If I don't stay on Atkins, that motor will start running again, and it will again want more, more, more while the weight creeps up, up, up; perhaps even more "efficiently".

                          To stay on Atkins is the only way to keep that engine shut down.

                                because people look at my food and say "how can you eat all that and still stay so tiny"


                                it is so strange and funny and really kind of nice to hear that after all those years of starving myself fat by dieting!!!!
