Well, I really don't know where to start. I guess I will tell y'all a little about me first. I am 25 years old. And, the mother to three amazing little princesses. I am also the wife to one amazing man. I don't know what I would do without any of them. My whole life revolves around them. I try to do everything I can to ensure their happiness. Which brings me to PART of the reason why I am ready to lose this weight. I have reached my highest weight ever a whopping 260lbs. I NEVER thought I would be this big. NEVER. When I was in highschool I weighed 160, and I remember thinking what a pig I was. I hated my body, man what I wouldn't give to have that body again. I had my girls within 4 years, actually a little less, and that includes two miscarriages. So, basically up until two years ago...I was pregnant constantly. My girls are 5, 4, and 2. And, it has come to a point in my life where I can't get out and play with them like I want to. I get so tired. We even went to the movies the other night, and although I fit...the seats were tight on my butt. And, that is soooo embarrassing! I don't want my girls to grow up with a "fat mommy". I know they would love me regardless, but I can't help but wonder if they would be secretly ashamed of me if they were older. I also would like to be "sexy" to my husband again, he is such a great person. He says he doesn't care what I look like, he loves me all the same. But, I know deep inside me that he would be more attracted to me if I were smaller. Anyway, I have dieted so many times in the past, it isn't even funny. I really know I can do this, but at the same time I know I need lots of support. The reason I am here. I was told about Atkins from a cousin of mine. She had lots of results from it. So, I went and got me a book of my own and have read most of it. I know it says you should read the whole thing before you start, but I have read all of the induction part. And, the very beginning of how it works and why it is good for you. Today is my very first day of starting Atkins. I really hope this works for me, and looking through this place and seeing some other people's results has really excited me. I just hope to have my own success story one day. I would like to lose about 120lbs. I want to be healthy is the main thing. I want to live to see grand babies, and maybe even great grandbabies. I don't want to die from a heart attack or diabetes because I didn't do something about my weight. I am here to stay, and would appreciate all the support anyone can offer. Thanks for taking time to read my story, or part of it anyway. I look forward to getting to know you guys, and well accept any advice that any of you give. Just steer me in the right direction.
