Hello...
Hello 
,
Today is my first day on the Atkins Way of Life. I am excited to begin this adventure, but nervous as well.
Let me see, I am 33 and I live in the South with my fiancé Jeff. We have two dogs and three cats (yep we have a zoo). We are a furry family to be sure.
On Tuesday of this week I had an appointment with my OB/GYN for an ultrasound because we were expecting our first child. I was seven/eight weeks along. During the exam, they discovered there was no heartbeat so on Wednesday morning I had to have a D&C. Believe me, I ate everything with a carb in it that was in the house and the store from Tuesday until Wednesday and it was then that I really realized I am a carb addict who self-medicates with food.
So, this painful thing has happened. I know in my head that it was probably for the best since these things generally indicate a problem, but my heart is a little broken. I think that will take time to heal.
Since I had decided to begin Atkins on New Year’s Day and could not because I was pregnant, it seemed like a good time to start it now. I mean, I hardly have any appetite.
We will try again (this was our first try) when we are ready, but until then, I am going to watch my eating and exercise so that I will be healthier when the time comes. My weight had nothing to do with this loss, but I am using this tragic incident as motivation to try to get healthier and cuter. I say cuter because I had started looking at maternity clothes and I could not find anything in size 28, much less something that was cute. So perhaps I mean to find cuter clothes because "cute" is not my goal.
With all that said, let me say I am happy to be here, no condolences are necessary and I hope you all wish me much luck.

I'm sure you'll find this a motivating place, and one that will take you away from your sad reflections, whenever you are here. I'm so sorry to hear of your loss.
