Ready to start!

[Carrie72]

Hi, My name is Carrie. I am a 36 soon to be 37 year old married, mother of 3 boys. I am starting Atkins tomorrow. I did my low carb grocery shopping today and have re read the DANDR. I lost 20 lbs. years ago following the plan but slipped back into my old ways. I am so ready to do this for me. I wake up every morning irritated before my feet hit the floor. I am so depressed about my weight. It has controlled my life for years and I am taking back control. I am very short tempered with my boys because I hate myself. I know hate is a strong word but it is what I feel. I will check in daily for motivation, inspiration and much needed support. I don't get much of that at home because I have failed so many times in the past. Thanks for listening.

Hi Carrie,
I am starting in the morning as well. I am sure this time you will stick with it and hit your goals! I have started Atkins 3 or 4 times in the past only to not make it through the first day except once. I lost 20 pounds in 2.5 weeks when I did make it that far so this time I am in it to win it Lets keep each other motivated. I need to lose 60+ lbs so I can use all of the motivation I can get. Are you going to exercise while you are doing Atkins?

Good luck!
