I'm not new.. I just became a carb addict again and now, I'm frustrated. I need a few shoulders to cry on and then, I ask that you kindly to kick me in the butt as hard as you all can 
I went off the Atkins WOE about 6 months ago and now, I'm paying the price. I just checked my blood sugar and it's 419. I'm so freaked out right now and slightly ashamed. I'm going to admit some things here that I'm not proud of, so, here it goes-
I started this diet in an effort to lose weight, just like everyone else on this board, however, I think I did it for the wrong reason. I started it because my ex had been hounding me about my weight. So, in an effort to prove to *him* that I was capable of meeting his expectations, I cut a lot of carbs out of my diet. Well, a month later, he broke up with me. I kept going on my diet and went from a size 32W to 26W in about 3 months, losing about 45-50 pounds.
Before I knew it, I had a new love interest knocking on my cubicle wall. Literally.
A guy I have worked with for the past 2 years began training in my department. To make a long story short, I got comfortable with him and started shoveling in the carbs and packing on the pounds again. We now live together and I'm responsible for groceries, so there is NO REASON why I'm doing this to myself. He drinks Mt Dew, full sugar, but drinks are not my weakness. I can live on Splenda sweetened tea, water, and coffee the rest of my life and not look twice at sugary soda. My weakness (addiction) is bread, rice, BBQ Sauce and pasta (although, i do use Dreamfields).
I keep telling him I'm so disappointed in myself and I start each day with just eggs and meat in an attempt to start new, but I end up either getting super carb cravings or I'm lazy and purchase a sandwich at work. I'm pouring my heart out here and I feel kinda akward.
So, here I am, determined to start Atkins again, for the right reasons. My Health, My Life, and My Overall Well Being.
I am only 29 years old.. I want to live a long, healthy life. So far, I'm not doing a very good job. Why would I turn my back THE only WOE that works for my body type?
