Hello everyone. Well, my name is Shawn and I'm giving the Atkins way of eating a shot. I've reached my heaviest weight just recently, however, I have no clue what that is since it is above 350 pounds. When I go back to my college campus this Friday I will find out if my weight can be measured.
My eating habit pre Atkins have been crazy. Normally, I would guzzle down two 2 liters bottles of Soda, huge portions of food (a whole pie of pizza, 10 Buffalo wings and etc... just for lunch). At this point in time, I actually used food to consciously support me in my time of need. I would guess that I probably intake 1800 calories alone from Soda, and the huge portions of food I would normally eat would be another 3000 calories. As long as I cut down the soda and the huge portions of food, I'm alright.
This isn't because people have me lose weight, or extreme guilt trips. I just got fed up, and tired of everything. I graduate from Community College in a couple of months and I am planning to move, and I think this is the perfect time to get a "new body".
With this new line of thinking, I don't expect a huge parade, new attention or anything else like that. The bottom line is if I don't need to do this for anyone, I need to do it for myself.
So over the past few days I've began the induction phase of my new way of eating. For 4 days a week, I'll be using weights and for 5 days a week, I'll be taking a 45 minute walk in the morning, and once I lose some substantial amount of weight, I'll ease my way into a jogging program.
Reading these forums over the past two days have been really inspirational to me, and I will (there's no can't being used here) lose the weight. **** I was temped to eat the pizza and mini potato pancakes but I gave that away to the kids who are staying over tonight. Well, at least I went over one hurdle. Once I get an official weight for myself, I'll put my stats in.
Thanks for your time.
