Hi everyone!
I used to visit this board awhile back (oh like two or more years ago) and it really was a great support. I tried doing Atkins on my own and got so sick of it and that's when the bad things started creeping into my diet.
Let me start way at the beginning.
Back in 1998 I started Atkins and did it for 5 months and lost 65lbs. Had to stop because I found out I was pregnant after trying to concieve for over 6 yrs!
I've been back to Atkins here and between giving birth to another baby (now have two girls ages almost 7 and almost 5). I feel like I'm always doing Atkins to a certain point. I must have brain washed myself because even when I'm not dieting, I don't eat pasta, rice or potatoes, lol.
Anyway .. I started out in 1998 at 309lbs and am currently at 245 but since C-Mas I've gained 20lbs back after having reached my ultimate low of 225! I've always been overweight, and wow was it nice to fit into some smaller, cuter clothes, but I can't seem to get past the temptations. I blame it on ALWAYS being in diet mode and the urges to cheat are so very overwhelming. That's why I'm back here. I so need the support of others in my same situation. I also need my dh to kick my butt out of bed and not let me on the computer in the mornings so that I actually do my exercise dvd. I know I can do it, cuz I've done it before .. but I'm just in a slump and my willpower is wearing so thin.
Thanks for reading this far. You'll definetly see me around often, cuz this is where I'll come when I feel that urge to eat chocolate or sugar products.
