Hello,
My name is Lucy and this is my first time on Atkins.I am 25 and will be graduating from a nursing program this year. I have noticed that ever since we started doing clinicals in acute care, I began dealing with stress by eating lots of sweets. I managed to gain 10 pounds in less than 6 months. So I figured I had to do something to stop that cycle. I have to say that I was suspicious at first of this WOL (as in "you can eat what? and what? and still lose weight? what?") but after reading some literature, understanding the science behind the diet, and of course coming to this board and reading all of your stories and life experiences, made me want to try Atkins myself. So that's me in a nutshell.
p.s. I got engaged in December this year and I am planning a wedding for summer 2008. I am hoping by that time I will be a brand new person.
p.p.s. One thing that will be a struggle for me is the fact that my fiancee is 6 foot something and weighs 140 pounds, he runs every day for hours and is very thin (slim, slender, skeleton like ...) so he consumes a lot of carbs on a daily basis especially before he goes on long runs, but he has such high metabolism that he is still very thin. I know making him eat low carb things will be unfair and I don't want him to lose more weight. He is very sensitive and attentive to my needs so he proposed to keep all his carb snacks in a special cabinet. That's the best we can do for right now ...
