  • Back for More: Glutton for Punishment

    Hi guys, I'm returning back to the website from a 2 year hiatus. That's right, I'm not exactly new, but I'm sure the community has changed enough since the last time I was active on these message boards.

    Originally, I had come here in the middle of 2005, weighing over 370+ lbs, got all the way to a goal of ~230-225 lbs and dissapeared. I gained a girlfriend, career, and all of my weight since then. Where I was once a gym rat and Atkins aficionado, I'm now more of a beat-up, bitter, but motivated one-time Atkins loser.

    So, who was I? I was this guy:

    this guy,

    this guy too,

    this guy with this silly picture,

    and this guy,



    ...
    Unfortunately, when I met this girl:

    I quickly became this guy:


    So there you go. I'm back on Atkins, hoping to keep a journal, help others, and get myself back into a shape. I miss being comfortable with myself. I miss being confident, more outgoing, and nicer looking - all of which Atkins helped produce in myself 2 years ago.

      Sugarsack, my intention is to make this a terminal effort. I've grown to be so very tired of hiding in my clothes, missed opportunities as a result of my shame, and yo-yo weigh gains.

      I want to be healthy, proud, confident, and just about every other positive adjective you can think of
