Hello everyone! I'm Ultrachic and I am a brand new member and inductee to the Atkins lifestyle! Here is a quick history:
I grew up as a slim fit young girl into a slim fit young woman. However, I was an emotional eater and a binge eater. I didn't identify my binge eating as a problem until I began to put on weight at age 22, in 2003. I kept eating carbs and sugar and other junk and I put on 10 lbs a year. So I put on 75 lbs in the past 7 years. I am now 200 lbs and I have had enough of being addicted to sugar and feeling like I'm not worthy and beautiful.
Luckily I have a wonderful husband who loves me no matter how I look. But I want to be fit and have my confidence go through the roof like it used to.
My whole life I heard about the Atkins diet my whole life and shunned it like most of the other low-fat carb heads out there. Meanwhile, my addictions to Pepsi and fast food and candy and potatoes never ever ever went away.
One morning, I had an epiphany. I said to myself "This low fat, willpower to stay away from bad food yet keeping my sugar addiction alive with toast, garlic bread, bananas and pasta lifestyle is not working. Maybe I'll do a little research about Atkins. Is it really all bacon and lard?"
WELL! I got one of the older additions of the book plus did a lot of research on the website. I even watched Dr. Atkins' bio on YouTube!
BOY was I ever floored by all the info I found! I feel as though I've been lied to my whole life!! It all makes sense now!
Anyway....I wanted to make sure that I had all the tools necessary and rules down pat before I jumped into it.
I'm on my 3rd day of the Induction Phase and I need all the support I can get. Thank you all so much for being here along for the ride!
I hope with all these new lifestyle tools I have, I can finally get my body back to the fit, sexy fat-burning machine it used to be!!!
