  • Finally Introducing Myself!!

    Finally introducing myself for the first time.

    I am a 46 year old mother of two teenage children doing Atkins for the second time. The first time I followed Atkins was back in 2003 when my husband became very sick from stress and being overweight. As per my compulsive behaviors, I followed the plan to the letter (past induction, I only ate nuts, seeds especially flax seeds, and berries). I never cheated one time during the first year of following the plan. Within that first year, I lost 75 pounds and went from a size 20-22W to a size 8-10 (however I kept my 38C cup breasts). For the first time, I felt very good about myself and men paid quite a bit of attention toward me.

    I was very successful in keeping it off for another year until August 2005. I just happen to be a Hurricane Katrina victim that lost most of my personal property to a house that lost part of the roof. The stress found me eating for comfort. I finally had a wake call when this Christmas I had not only gained back all the weight but an extra 7 pounds. I refocused myself on January 22, 2008. I am going to be successful once again and will not quit until I AM!!



    Start date: January 22, 2008 (second time around)

      Welcome to ADBB, thanks for sharing your story. The important thing is you know this WOE works and that you can do great on it.

      What I know:
      1-Atkins WOE/WOL plan works
      2-I need to always work on the behaviors and triggers that make me over eat.
      3-Atkins WOL is part of the puzzle, but is not the entire thing.
      4-Self-deprecation only feeds our inner ego and not in a good way.
