    Saying HELLO and hopefully Goodbye to 140 pounds!

    Hello Everyone,
    In a nutshell. My health is in the toilet!
    I'm 5 feet tall, 270 pounds
    Chronic depression, candida issue, hypothyroid, fibromyalgia.
    I want to reclaim my life!
    I know that to get the candida under control that is causing all kinds of issues inside me I have to stop feeding it sugar!
    That brings me HERE!
    I have a lot of weight to lose...THAT brings me HERE!
    My weight problems is a huge contributor to my chronic depression...that brings me HERE!
    My Fibromyalgia is probably more painful because of the excess weight...that brings me HERE!
    I have thyroid issues... it's harder for me to lose weight...that brings me HERE!
    See, I have lots of reasons to be HERE! I plan on posting a lot and taking responsibility for my life/health. I want to live and no longer just merely exist.
    There are a lot of things out there that I am not doing because of my weight! It's time to lift this thin woman out of this zipped up fat suit that I have called home for many years!
    I deserve it! My husband deserves to have his wife grow old with him. My children deserve to have their Mother around for a long time!
    Currently they are small - one is 3 and the other is 7 months. I need to be able to keep up with them and set a good example for them.
    I'm glad to be here. It seems like a nice supportive atmosphere!
    The before and after pictures are amazing and I hope to post mine here one day too so that I can be an inspiration for someone as well.

              Hi Ladybug,

              Welcome to the

              The nice thing about Atkins is you can do this with anything that's going on in your life. I have fibromyalgia and high levels of candida and this way of eating (WOE) works for me. Congratulations of starting day 1 of a new way of life.

                Ladybug.... I say this to you but its for me as well...
                Its time to get angry, stubborn and mean about doing the right thing!
                Its not about how bad I did today, its about how to do better from now on!
                ONE THING MUST STAY IN YOUR MIND... "What is the best thing I can do for myself right now?!"
                It may be rest, exercise or simply drinking another glass of water but start asking it a thousand times a day and then do it!!
                SW - 214 (3/1/08 )

                GW - 170
