Hello everyone! I am 34 years old, married with no children, and live in Utah. I am just getting my new art career off the ground; I do pinup artwork in the style of marvel art. I also do graphic design, digital art, and web design. I have a love for ghost hunting and history. I get a natural high from going to historical buildings and locations. 
It is always impossible to summarize a life, but I'll try anyway. lol I have been yo-yo dieting for years, ever since my teens unfortunately. It seems it goes in 5 year increments! I'll gain a ton of weight, and then drop it somehow through will-power, then of course gain it right back again. 2005 was my skinniest year, I got quite thin. In 2006 there were two horrible events that happened that spiraled me into a place I've never been before. I've always been a boredom/depressed eater but this time it was worse. One of the events was that I was raped by someone who went to college with me in 2006. I turned to food yet again but this time I took it too too far!! It is 2010 now, and from 2006 to 2010 have gained 120 pounds.
I lost 100 pounds back in 2004-05 from doing Atkins so I am not new to the diet... I have read all the books and know just about everything there is to know about it. So I am going into this knowing exactly what is going to happen thank goodness. I physically and mentally feel horrible every day of my life. I have aches and pains and am winded all the time doing the easiest of things. I used to be an exercise machine but for the past few years have been SO lazy. I have also become quite the hermit, I avoid EVERYTHING because I get so frustrated with the judgemental looks from people. I won't even go to the grocery store, I'll just leave work and get things from the gas station or drive up. I miss going out with my husband, going to family events.. etc ***sigh*** Anyway I'll spare you with the rest, but I am just so happy knowing there is a support system here. I don't get support in my life with Atkins. Everyone thinks Atkins is bad, so I am not telling anyone this time around. Even my husband thinks it is hogwash, which I cannot imagine why!! I lost 100 pounds on it once!! xD Anyway, I rambled, sorry. Thank you all for reading my novel. God bless you all. ...Jenny
