Hi all,
I'm new to the boards and wanted to say hi
I'm 39 years old, and have been over weight my whole life. I have no idea what it would even feel like to not be over weight. I have been over 300 pounds for 20 years (2 times I got out of them to about 285, but it only lasted a couple months, and I was right back in the 300's again). 20 years is a long time to be in this struggle, and I'm tired now, and very ready. This is my second round with Atkins (kind of). I tried it 3 years ago, but I tried it without a book, without Induction, and with my sister telling me the things I should eat because she was on it...lol. Oh and everyday I had a teaspoon of chocolate frosting that I kept in the fridge
This time I have the book, I'm doing Induction, and I have no chocolate frosting in the fridge 
I have been pretty sick with nausea the last 4 days, and a lot of headaches. I am worried about it making me depressed, and giving up. I'm hoping it will go away soon. The nausea is really bad. I looked in the book, and didn't see anything about nausea. I have a long way to go, but I really want and need to do this. I was diagnosed with diabetes a year and a half ago, and I haven't been able to get my sugar under control, even with the meds. But since I started Atkins it is the first time my sugars have been so good
I really want to get my diabetes under control (really I want it GONE). I have a 6 year old daughter, Serena, who I want to be here for. She means everything to me. Anyways, I'm rambling. I'm really looking forward to getting to know all of you
