Hello to all my friends. I am Beth, 32 years of age.. and have been fighting weight all my life. I think the only time I was thin was from age 7-13. I found that I am an emotional eater. I do suffer severe anxiety and depression. That stems from loss of both parents, one at 7 and then just recently my father. My childhood was a broken one, I was abused. We never seemed to stay in one state, always back and forth between CA and KS. I guess I still have alot of bottled up anger, sadness, fear that I have never faced or dealt with.
Well while living in San Diego, I suffered a very bad panic attack. After that I was home bound for about a year. My weight was 225 at the time. And that was on a 5'3 or so frame. Well, thanks to that episode, I stopped eating, I was doing crackers and water pretty much all the time. I was a bundle of nerves, I wouldn't even walk down the hall to my friends Apt. In less than a year I dropped down to about 145 lbs. I was weak, tired, and I didn't care anymore. I felt as life gave me a raw deal and I was just going to sit back and drink the *Koolaide*
Then, my best friend a woman I consider my sister got me out of the deal. She got be back to Missouri and I guess thats what I needed!! I ended up getting a job, eating again and enjoying...sort of a life. Well, the reason I am needing help from Atkins is that I am up to 160 lbs... EEEK no!! I do not want to see 200 ever again in my life. I was happy at 140 which is what I left CA in 07 as. I am finding that I am turning to food once again for comfort. I am not one to talk openly about whats going on in my mind, but, hopefully I can turn to you guys whenever I feel the need to binge. Because for once in my life I want to hold my head up and say yeah this is me and I am proud of me. And the things that happened in the past, well thats where they will stay is in the past and my future looks bright and healthy.
Thanks Dr. Atkins for this great way of eating and bringing so many people together.
