new.. and uncomfortable... but here anyway
I was a vegetarian for eight years (though I never made any attempt to do veg the right way and really just lived on junk, and I became obese before the vegism, so please don't blame that)... so anyhow this is all unsettling for me, but here I am...
I weighed almost 240, did reduced calorie/low fat and got to 105 (I'm short... lol have to buy all my jeans from the little girl's section)... but I'm a stress eater and between the holidays and huge troubles at work I got back up to ~131.
Even at my largest, I was never a big sugar person (even as a kid I had no interest in cookies or cake). That all changed in the last few months though. Recently I had become a huge sugar junkie eating little else... I would eat so much sugary stuff that I would throw up (not intentionally!)but still wanted more and more, and I was having a really hard time getting control back, so I thought... well Atkins is the only thing I haven't tried, and the only thing that allows somewhat larger intake...
Went and bought the book, the 2002 version that is, and have read almost all of it now. I'm on day 7 of induction. I did ketogenic dieting as a vegetarian (no easy thing) so I'm not new to the concept, but I still find myself with questions and needing support so here I am.
