    It's my Turn!

    For me, this journey is not just a diet, or not just a way to loose weight. It is the beginning of a lifelong transformation. For most of my life I have let food control me. When I was sad I ate high carb food. To celebrate a victory I ate high carb food. Instead of looking out for myself I was eager to please everyone else. After years of this behavior, I look in the mirror and do not even recognize myself. So now it's my turn. I am taking on the Atkins way because I know it works and I am ready for change. So feel free to leave me messages. I will encourage you. Please encourage me. We can make it!
    Ms. Grace!

    Good luck Grace. Sounds like you are determined, which is a great starting point!

    I am new also and learning every day. This forum is very good for information and support. My favorite thing to do is search through the old postings, especially for recipes. Have fun!!

          Hi Grace - Welcome to the board! I echo Debie's sentiments about peeking through past posts for encouragement and .... the recipes sound delish. I'm actually doing just that this morning and making out my shopping list.

          I'm looking forward to hearing more from you along the way!

            I hear you about celebration through Carbs! My father was a big offender on this. If the weather was cold and snow was falling...it was pasta time!. If someone just announced an engagement, promotion or new baby on the way...it was pasta time! If my mother, my siblings or myself were feeling down or had a dissapointment.....you got it...he would say,"you just need more pasta!" Of course every heaping dish was served with a heaping plate of hot garlic bread!

            There are so many great recipes on the board. I would be fine never eating pasta again. I think you will find the same thing. I have made Oopsie rolls which were good when I added garlic powder to them. I also make Cauliflower pizza which my family loves so much I am lucky to get a slice which works out well....gotta count those carbs!

            You are in the right place for encouragement. Welcome!
