  • Back Again After 3 Years

    It is time to get my life back under control again. Everything is great in my life except my weight and subsequently my self esteem. When I first did Atkins I loved it. I loved the results, the food, and the way I felt. What happened? Well I met my husband. I tried very hard to stay on the program but we went out to dinner a lot and I thought...I am in love...lalalalala. Anyway, we got married and blended our families, 1 daughter by me, 3 of his all under 10. Trying to feed everyone and stay true was just about impossible. I didnt care I was happy. Until I started growing out of my jeans and skirts. I tried Weight Watchers but I was always hungry. I was going to the gym but I was still eating too much. Drinking too much wine, going out to eat. I resigned myself to being 15 lbs overweight until 15 grew to 20 and then 25 and now over 30. It has to stop!!!! LOL. I know this WOL works for me and I cant wait to get back on it. I am dreading the induction flu but I know once I get past that I am going to start feeling great. My husband and kids are on board and are very supportive. So, the day after Christmas is my new beginning. Why wait for the new year? I want to feel great on New Years day! And I know I will. And oh, this board was my life line before. I am so glad it is here. Everyone is wonderful and supportive.
    Happy Holidays everyone....I will post again when I start!

      Welcome back LuckyD. You know it works, you know how it works, get back to it. Check out our Second Time Around Club forum (STAC for short). It's a great bunch of people who are on their second time around with this woe and are determined to do it right. They are a motivational force, for sure.
