2nd day on diet and feeling good....

[chepatti]

Hi everyone.... This is my second try on Atkins... First time was in 2004 when it was the craze~~~ I had lost weight but quit after 3 months. I tried low calorie again after all the negativity started about Atkins. WELL IT DIDN'T WORK!!!! The past 3 years have been chaotic, I lost my father to cancer, and after that my family turned into shambles, death changes everything, it certainly did for my family. I am now also entrenched in the mortgage crisis and will be losing my home soon.

So needless to say, I turned to carbs and wine for comfort and now find myself at my heaviest. After careful consideration and my pants tightening I decieded to get back onto the Atkins diet. I love to cook and loved finding new recipes.

I searched for success stories after the 2004 craze ended, and found this forum and absolutely love it. I am determined to lose weight and get back on track. Luckily I have a wonderful husband and children who will help me through the hard times, as well as this forum to push me along.

Today is my second day in the induction, and so far so good... So thank you for listening to me ramble and can't wait to become another success story!

Hi Chepatti and welcome. I am soo sorry for the difficulties you are facing. I just lost my grandmother (who raised me) last year and also gained all my weight back... I agree death changes everything (and like you not in a fortunate/loving tightnit way either) I am glad you found this forum though. You will find lots of support and advice so if you are unsure, please post... Also if you get a chance - join some of the challenges that are out there as excersising will relieve some of the stress from your body. I agree I love to cook (kinda what got me to this point in the first place ) and really enjoying finding alternatives to some old fashioned comfort foods.

Take Care!

Thanks so much Mellany... and I am so sorry to hear about your grandmother, it's not easy its going to be 3 years next month and I still lose it.

I feel differently this time around on Atkins and know I can do it, especially with such wonderful support like yours.

Have a good night and thank you again.

Welcome back and I am sorry to hear about your loss and mortgage crisis. I understand and have experienced both. My home was sold in Foreclosure back in 2003 but God is faithful and is a restorer. I will say a prayer for you and your family. Hang in there.
