  • Brushing the dust off...

    I'm an old member, I doubt if any of you remember me. I think it was 2003 the last time I was really active here, it's been so long I don't even remember.

    Last night I laid in bed, twisting and turning, thinking about so many things, My husband must have told me 4 times to go to sleep.
    So much has happened in my life the past year, a lot of stress and tragedy that I won't get into. Well, I haven't felt like myself for a long time, and I got to thinking...when was the last time I felt good? Good about who I was, good about my health.

    Right now I feel like food is controlling me...it IS controlling me. I have constant cravings for the wrong things & I literally feel sick and tired all of the time. Stress and food rule my life right now and I want to change that.

    I had a really hard time my last attempt with this way of eating and swore I would never do it again. Well, after all the calorie counting & advice from the dietician that doesn't seem to have done me any good, I am going to try and overlook my failure with atikins in the past and give it another chance. I know it works, and I remember how good it felt when I did it right.

    This weekend I will be cracking my book open and start reading it again. I think my husband is going to give me a hard time about doing this again because of me giving up so much on it in the past. I hope he will overlook the past and let me have another chance at this way of life!!
