hi everyone,
i just found this forum through a link that someone on the george stella forum had posted. this is wonderful! how informative and supportive.
i just started the atkins way of life this last friday and it's been really great. i've committed to only weighing myself once a week--to steer any possible disappointment of the daily weighing.
i guess i should let everyone know a bit about myself. i've been overweight now for the last two years. i've had serious health problems that have prevented me from being the normal and active self that i'm used to. as a result, two years brought along an extra 60 pounds. I now weigh 200 pounds, even though i've been at a normal weight of 140 for a long time (i stand at 5'8"). i want to get back to the way things were. I want to play again--now that i'm allowed to. i've never felt so uncomfortable in my own skin before and really just want to be able to do the things i used to do. my perception has totally changed. ever since my weight gain, i really can't believe the way people not only treat me, but look at me.
as a result of the health issues and weight gain, i've developed a deep depression that just isn't me. i'm usually a really happy person, but feel that the last two years of my life have been my all time low. i don't ever want to go anywhere or even do anything because i'm so uncomfortable.
so i guess that's my little schpeel on my struggles with weight. i have never before wanted anything so bad, then to have my old self back and fully restored. i'm pouring my heart out in an attempt to connect with everyone and reconnect with myself.
so, my dear friends, i bid hello. my name is Kim.
i only wish you the best with much success!
take care,
Kimmmie
