Hey everyone! I would be lying if I said I was entirely new because ...well, let's just say I'm VERY familiar with Atkins. My family is completely atkins-friendly. My mother (5'2) lost 60 pounds - she's a new woman. And my father dropped 30 and started running marathons.
I'm one of those girls who is obsessed about weight only because most of my family is obese. Therefore, I'm extremely cautious. However, all through H.S I was dancing 8 hours a day and was all muscle, not 1 ounce of fat on me. But - (drum role) - I ate horribly and had horrible skin that not ONE dermatologist could fix...(keep that in mind).
Then it was time for college. I danced half the hours I used to and had a wide open schedule - and to fill my boredum I would ...EAT. (Sound familiar?) So I gained about 8 pounds, but at my worst - I put on 20. I was also 3 sizes up. I never left my dorm.
After watching my parents succeed on Atkins, I did it myself and lost all the weight and looked better than ever and the BEST part was - my skin was CRYSTAL CLEAR!!!
So, now I'm at a healthy weight since I adapted the atkins lifestyle but the only problem is... I find it so EASY to drop lbs that I tend to cheat here or there thinking - no big deal...but that's my problem. I'm a yo-yoer. I'll plan my binges and then get back on. So that issue is really keeping me from my size 4 I want to wear again - and will also cause my occasional breakouts.
Maybe some think I'm paranoid because I'm def in shape as it is, but I'm a perfectionist and being on Atkins - I feel better overall and my skin and hair...everything just glows.
So, here I am. To drop approx, I dunno - 10 pounds and keep it off. But MOST IMPORTANTLY, to keep my skin clear. It's the only thing that works for this face of mine...plus, I gain weight in my face FIRST and I want my cheekbones popping again...got it?!
Sorry for the book.
I'm here to stay!
