I'm 56, female, medically-retired law enforcement and work at home on the computer as a website designer, plus have an online store and sell on Ebay as well.
I've been falling back on the Atkins way of eating since the 70's. It's the only way I can lose weight without being hungry all the time, plus my cholesterol, bp and blood sugars are perfect when I eat high protien. I'm type O blood and some doctors feel the Atkins diet is perfect for O's. I have also discovered I am a sugar-addict, so if I eat anything such as cake, chocolate, ice cream, etc... it seems like I am sucked into a sugar-eating binge for months and months and it takes almost an act of God to get me off the sugar merry-go-round. In the meantime, while I'm on the sugar-binge, I gain 10, 15, 20 lbs and feel miserable. Starting Monday, I'm back to Atkins, but am going to try to stay on it fulltime by THINKING before I put that sweet object in my mouth. I am so sick and tired of being sick and tired and I'm also fed up with looking at my sugar-fat self in the mirror. I wish I knew why I did this...that would be half the battle! Monday is my day!
It was so much easier when I worked a regular job since I didn't drive around on my beat with a refrigerator in my back seat! Now it's just in the next room! I'm going to take what Dr. Phil says to heart.."You can't eat what you don't have." I'm cleaning that thing out this weekend!
