HI everyone. This is my second time being on the Atkins way of life. In 2003, I lost nearly, heck I dont even know how much I lost, it was alot. I know I went from a size 20 to a 9 in approximately 4 months. The problem was I only read enough of the book to start and stay in induction, I never found creative menu items or found anyone who knew anything about how Atkins worked, and I never ate vegetables. I did crazy things like just open a bag of pork rinds and a can of potted meat, ewwwwww. lol. I did bake and fry poulty though never with any creativity.
Now, its 2007, and I have never ever ever been so heavy. To say I miserable is an understatement. Im a nurse and I used to see people who had trouble tying there shoes. I always said to myself, that will never be me. What Ive learned at being 269 lbs is that fat is more than just looking physical large. I have absolutely no energy, my daughter says I never go anywhere, I just stay in the house. I cant breathe like I used to and to walk a flight of steps leaves me sweating and so short of breath. This is crazy. On top of all of this, Im a smoker. I know Im not hopeless but Im so depressed Ive become so unhealthy.
Now for the bright side, Fit Day is great!! Ive already signed and have done some customize menu items from "Linda's Low Carb Menus's and Recipes". Im a little overwhelmed but I know it will all get easier. I am really excited but have to admit Im impatient. Most of my clothes in my closet are still the size 11 and 13's I used to wear. I want to fit them again, I looked so good. For now, a size 11 would make me so happy, maybe then I will want to go smaller. I cant focus on anything smaller because I get hopeless. When that happens it semms I gain another 10 pounds. I cant like this. I have two grand babies coming in less than six months, and my kids are everything to me.
This site is what motivated and gave me hope. I want health. I want to feel pretty and sexy. I want my panties to not look like small tents (that made me laugh). I laugh because I know I can do this. Im strong and have a pretty face and Im funny and smart. Right now Im so nervous as I begin my journey tomorrow morning. It kinda makes me teary eyed even writing this, I want to be good at this. I want it to be natural for me. I want to someday be giving advice to someone who feels like I am feeling now. Thanks to all of you.

. I am sure so many of us women can relate to the panty comment. Who among us has not looked at the pretty lacy ones in the department store and said one day.
