hi everyone!
hi, my name is wynter, i'm 27 and i just started atkins 2 days ago.
i've been really good so far, the most disciplined i've been in a long time.
my weight issues started pretty late in life, around 17 i went from 150 which for my frame was just fine, to 220 pounds. i was incredibly depressed at the time, smoking lots of marijuana and eating fast food all the time. around 22 i was able to get down to 180 by just moving around more - i don't remember doing more at that time other than getting a job that demanded i be up and at 'em.
i stayed at that weight for a good long time going up and down a few pounds but never reaching 190 - that is until i met my boyfriend 2 years ago, i went up to 204. it was fine for awhile because we were both fat again - he gained 30 lbs too, but then it started to weigh on me ALOT. he ended up losing it all-but i felt left behind and left out! it wouldn't budge w/ everything i tried but dieting - so distracted w/ him and all...now we're on a break, not because of the weight - but i want to prove to myself more than anything that i can do it, and w/o seeing him everyday and the distraction of our relationship issues which is a whole other story.
i'm 5'8'' and 195 right now, i'd like to get down to 140 although i'm told that maybe too much. as it is now, people guess im 160. i dont want that of all things to be my hidden secret.
my mini goal for the next 6 weeks until i see my boyfriend again is 180. by the end of the summer i'd like to have met my goal. i want to run a marathon in november, and most of all, fit into a pair of extremely expensive jeans and a belly shirt, i've never worn either and i'd at least like to have the option.
i dont miss sugar or booze right now, i just want to be healthy. i also suffer from PCOS so if anyone here does too, i'd love to talk about it.
i hope to talk to you all more and would love any kind of encouragement. despite this exciting start of my new lifestyle, its a rough time b/c of the boyfriend stuff, so it would be nice to hear from people in the same situation - how do you maintain focus, discipline.
take care! good luck! be well!
i'll post pics soon, i'm a little shy.
