Hi All,
I just wanted to introduce myself. This is my second time around. I have battled weight all my life (partially genetics, partially bad eating habits, a little bit of guilt spiralling..oh ya..and a little bit of college beer partying
). The sad fact is, I fell off the wagon when I started working out of town. I worked as an administrator on a construction site in the bush 14 days out of 20 and EVERYTHING they served in camp was covered in sauce and breaded
. So basically I gained it all back...plus some!
My first time on Atkins, my results were amazing! I'm 6'0 and I lost 50 lbs in a little over three months and went from 250 lbs to 200lbs (size 18-20 to size 12-14). I felt SO great!! I'll admit it was difficult at first and I had the odd little misstep (and by that I mean my Mom made shortbread cookies...omg that was a bad day
). It was amazing how different I felt. I became a bit of a gym rat... I remember looking down at my tummy and going...wow...there really ARE abs in there...I can tell cuz they hurt!! I was shrinking away and becoming more and more confident. The weird thing is that as I lost weight and when I'd go to clubs or hang out with friends..they would tell me how great I looked or just flat out treat me differently. It was almost to the point where I'd be ticked at people for liking me better thin! I was always thinking...i'm the same person regardless of my size...why can't you see that?
After some thought, I've discovered that I really am someone different when I'm thin. I'm happier, more confident..generally more well adjusted. I am not eating because I'm sad or feeling out of control. I get it now!! I am ready for a big change. This time on the INSIDE too
!
I'm back in the city now and my boyfriend and I recently got engaged. I so badly want to look incredible for our wedding pictures! The countdown till February 1st is on!
I am so excited to have found this site and really think that it will be a huge support. It's tough to do it alone!! Maybe I'll even be a bootcamp girl this time!
Good luck to everyone!!
Love,
Melanie aka PinkLady260
