    Chrononaut reporting in!

    Hey gang! Chrononaut here! I am a recent convert to the low-carb lifestyle and almost every question I have posed to Google has ended up leading me to one of the threads on this site! So I figured I should hop on this knowledge train and ride it. I am a 31 year old video game developer and digital artist(an overweight computer nerd? Say it ain't so!) living in Dallas for the time being. I am about 60 pounds above my ideal weight but I know I am on the right path. I have been on the Atkin's diet for about a month now and I am already 15 pounds lighter and with all the extra energy I now have I ride my bike at least 10 miles a day. With the help of you good people I will be arriving at my destination sooner than later. Thanks for having me aboard!

          A fat games designer? I'm a fat television writer. If we could find a fat comic book collector and a fat cop, we could be the "sterotype super hereos!"

            Alex,

            You're forgetting one character: the bumbling token bean pole... with coke bottle glasses.

                *raises his fist to the heavens* Power of Geek! Activate! Oh Asclepius you made me chuckle all day with your discovery of the hidden meaning in the cake is a lie. Good stuff right there. Well I am sitting down to a snack of slightly overcooked Parmesan fried chicken and finally starting to feeling comfortable in my own skin (If life were a video game I would have a cooking skill of about 14). A month ago, I remember feeling claustrophobic inside myself. Like I was locked in some small cell of my being - a captive in the land of me. I am sure this was exacerbated by the fact that my blood pressure was well into hypertension. There was zero question that something had to be done. I knew Atkins worked. I have had several friends who have been successful on it. So I boiled all this down to one question I ask myself anytime I feel the tugging of a craving. Is the limited joy I may get from this worth risking my one shot at this grand show we call life? Or to paraphrase Eddie Izzard "Cake or Death?" So let's do this folks. Let's break free from this. Ok Atkineers! All systems go!

                      AAAAANNNND AN EDDIE IZZARD FAN?! Dude you just rolled a 20 in likability. When this is all over, I am so changing my signature to, "This was a triumph. I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS! It's hard to overstate my satisfaction."

                      Although, I must admit at times during this diet I've felt like this:



                      The goal though is to restore health lvl up and try again. The cravings will vary but eventually once you're in heavy ketosis they're much easier to manage with barely a thought.

                      PS - I like my (wo)men like I like my coffee..... COVERED IN BEEEES!! bwahahahaha. Oh yeah. You are sooo at home here. I'm so very glad you've arrived.
