    Here I go again.....

    Well, what can I say but here I go again. Life is funny. You get rolling along, great things happening. You get comfortable. A little of this, a little of that. A little more of this, and a little more of that. A pound or two here. Ten or twenty pounds there. Isn't it crazy how easy it is to gain weight??? I love to eat! My mother in law says she loves to cook for me because I eat so much of whatever she fixes that I must think it is really good.

    I've done Atkins before. Heck, I've done just about every diet out there. I lose weight, get comfortable with myself and then put it all and more back on. I started Atkins about 6 years ago and lost about 60 pounds and stayed that way for about two years. I loved it and I hadn't felt that good in a long time. Then we went to Disney World for a week (that coincided with my 40th birthday) and I figured that I would just eat whatever I wanted for a week. I figured it would be easy to get back on track again. Guess what? It wasn't.

    So here I am again. A second time arounder? I guess so. Hopefully it will be the last time. Tomorrow morning I start. I figure I've got about 100 pounds to lose.

        Welcome!

        Did you reread the book to refresh your mind about Atkins?

        I hope you now realize Atkins is not a diet you do and stop.
