Newbie, Ready for a Change!

[Sho_Sho]

Hi All.

I just wanted to introduce myself. I’m Shona, and am sooo happy I found this wonderful website!

I have been browsing for a week and decided to join. I have a lot of weight to lose and started day 1 of Atkins on Monday. Its Friday now and I must admit I feel great... now

The first few days were horrible, because I am a Carb junkie and my body is going through MANJOR withdraws.

I am tired of everyone telling me how pretty I am for a 'big girl" I knew I had a problem when I was chased down at the mall last week by someone from Lane Bryant and asked me if I ever "thought of being a plus size model" . I was a little insulted and decided right then and there I will not be a "Big Girl" any longer. I just want people to see me as me and not this extra weight I am carrying.

So that’s me, and I am happy to be here I look forward to getting to know you.

Take it as a compliment that you were chased down to be a model and no matter how much you weight, it is how you carry yourself. Someone maybe saw a confident beautiful women in you!

Good luck on your new way of eating!

Re: Newbie, Ready for a Change!

That’s a much better way of looking at it. Being a size 22/24 doesn’t make you feel anything close to model material. LOL I thought she was trying to be mean.

I just can’t wait to get out of Plus Sizes.
