Hola, My name is Rubina and I am 27 years old. I am starting Atkins on January 1st. I know, I know, why not start today? Well, I have a good reason…my family is visiting from out of state and everyday they cook foods filled with carbs. Today they are making tamales…yikes! The “carb cookers” will be leaving on Jan 1st so that is when I can make my own meals for myself. I am Italian and Mexican so when my family cooks; there is no way I can win. Lasagna, rice, beans, enchiladas, spaghetti, ugh, the list goes on and on!
I did to Atkins once before when I was at my highest weight of 250 pounds. I lost about 22 pounds and then I got lazy and went back to the carbs. The only good thing was that I didn’t gain any of that weight back…I kept working out but just think of how much weight I would have lost if I would have stuck with Atkins…ugh! Currently I weigh 227 and I am not happy. I’ve been depressed about my weight for a long time. I am tired of being the “fat friend” and I am REALLY tired of everyone telling me that I have a pretty face. I used to go out dancing all the time with my friends which I don’t do anymore because they are all at a normal weight and I am the fat one. I try to show everyone that I have high self-esteem but in reality I have the lowest self-esteem and it all has to do with my weight.
I just recently became engaged to a wonderful man and we are getting married in September of 2008. I made a promise to myself that I will not have to buy a plus size dress…I want to look beautiful on our wedding day and quite honestly Atkins is the only thing that worked for me. I know it will work again but I will have to stick it out this time…no giving up.
I love this site…my favorite forum is the before and after pics. Quite honestly I would visit that forum everyday and I would show my fiancé these amazing pictures that you all would post and he told me that instead of looking at the pictures, we should both go on atkins and hopefully someday we’ll be looking at our own pictures of success. So I hope that I meet a lot of good friends on this site and I hope 2007 brings some great things for all of us.
Thanks for reading this and Happy New Year everyone! Stay safe.
