Hi,
I'm a new fatty here but I'm in the 2nd time around category. I had already lost about 25 lbs on Atkins a few years ago but when my mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer, my eating habits went to heck for a few years and I ballooned up to 206 lbs, which is the heaviest that I've ever been. I've been lowcarbing now for just a few weeks and I can already feel the weight coming off. I probably won't weigh myself for a month or so though because I hate watching the scale and at this early stage of the game "how my clothing fits" is a good enough indicator for me.
I LOVE Atkins diet because I'm a major carboholic and it's the only diet out there that completely kills my junk food cravings. I feel very motivated this time around and am really looking forward to buying some cute summer dresses that don't resemble shapeless sacks. My biggest problem is my best friend who is even more over weight than me. She has a terrible addiction to junk carbs and I sometimes feel that she purposely tries to tempt me into cheating because she doesn't want me leaving the "fat girl club" so to speak. She hates being over weight herself but refuses to do anything about it and thus continues to grow larger. I've tried to turn her onto Atkins in the past, but she says that she tried it once before and it made her feel lethargic and unhealthy so she won't try it again. My guess is that she wasn't eating enough veggies since she's the type of person who rarely even finishes a small dinner salad.
I hate coming across as rude to her, but this time around I am really going to have to put my foot down with her when I feel that she is trying to sabotage my diet. Has anyone else out there ever experienced this problem with overweight friends and how did you deal with it?
