Back for a 2nd try

[angelawillbethinagain]

Hello everyone. My name is Angela and this is my second time at atkins. I did atkins before I had my daughter (she is 17 months) and I lost 50 pounds in 4 months. I have been doing atkins for under two months now and it is really going slow. I have become frustrated but rather than give up, after a lot of thought I realized its a life style change. Atkins is a lifestyle not a temp solution. I am 230 lbs and my long term goal is 130-140. Before I had my two children, I was 120-125. I am an emotional eater and also addicted to sugar/choc. That is the hardest thing for me. However when I put my mind to atkins I can control those cravings. I have heard many people say that doing atkins a 2nd time isn't very successful. I don;t care if it takes me two years to reach my goal, I will do it. I am so glad I have found this site. The pictures and stories are so inspiring. Thanks for your support. I wish everyone the best of luck.

Hey Angela, it took a lifestyle change for me too. I can certainly relate! Hey why don't you come over to STAC forum, second time around club is where I hang out the most, and in journal chats. Start a journal and share life with us, in either location!
Nothing like walking together, building a lifestyle, and i am huge on lifestyle, it's a buzz word made reality in my life!
