A Message from Sillygirl! I have been following Dr. Atkins WOE for several years now. I have been a member of ADBB for over one year. My name is Sillygirland I am dedicated to this WOL. I came to this board because people around me were criticizing my way of eating. Here on this board I found people with like minds, attitudes and commitment. It is truly a place for support and conversation. When the world around you doesn’t understand eating issues, the people here come together to guide and help in any way possible.
The Challenges here are another remarkable aspect of the board. My entire life, I have been a non-exerciser. I have now joined the 6 Week Exercise Challenge which keeps me doing the exercise I committed to do. If it’s a choice between a “happy face” or “slug” on the exercise chart, I will take a happy face any day! I have found that each challenge I sign up for only adds to this Atkins experience.
Having become a hostess to this bulletin board, it is my responsibility to welcome new members to the Journal Chat section. This is a place where your personal journal is used for logging daily food, comments and general discussions. In a short time, we find that we have made many terrific friends, which only adds to the support system of this WOL. I know how I felt when I first posted and was trying to get a handle on my eating, this board made all the difference in keeping me on track. I now get great pleasure from being there for people new to this board, and it is my privilege to give back. Some would say it’s impossible to make true friends with people on the internet. I am here to tell you that not only is it possible, but it’s also been one of the greatest experiences of my life.
