Well, I am back once again. I started off real good last January but then took a dive off somewhere along the way. I have made several attempts to get back to doing Atkins but something always interferes. I have a lot of excuses, my daughter wants to go out and eat, all the supervisors are ordering lunch to be picked up, pot lucks at work, stress eating, craving for something like chicken fried steak with lots of gravy or all the dressing at Thanksgiving and now Christmas. I have a weakness for dressing. Sure, there was lots of turkey and ham, but who wants that when you can have dressing with cranberry sauce. And the list can go on and on. 
I took several pictures during the holidays and I must say I am not impressed with myself at all. The pull over shirts that I wear make me look like I am pregnant at 47. My face is puffy all the times. I just look like I am worn out and I do not like that at all.
Well, on the trip home last night and after a steak sandwich and large order of TT and cheese from the Sonic, I decided this is enough.
I weighed in at 279.2 this morning on my scale, which I think is the same thing that I weighed last year when I started Atkins. I think my all time highest has been 283 and I made that last year. It is slowly going higher and higher each year. I have not measured my self again, but I will tomorrow morning.
I recently had my blood work done and everything is within normal limits, but that is due part to the medication that I have to take. I feel like a nursing home patient with all the pills that I am taking in the morning....Type II diabetic, HTN, and LDLs were too high.
Today marks my first born's birthday. He is 28 today. When I went in the hospital I weighed in at 199.5 lbs (not quite 200 lbs). I managed to lose the weight back down to 125, but over the years I slowly gained it back...divorce, children, going to college and then grad school, working weird hours, not eating right....it has all caught up with me.
Today is a new day.
I do realize one thing, the more I read the boards and charted my progress, the better I did.
So, I am hoping that this will be the last time around. I can use all the support I can get.
I plan to get back on fit.com and read Atkins. I know a lot of the resources available to me, I just have to put them to use.
