  • Hello! I'm new to this site!

    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

    Welcome to ADBB, Jenny!

    If you feel you ever "have to" say something about what you're eating, this phrase is handy:

    "I'm eating whole, unprocessed foods, no sugar, no refined carbohydrates, heart healthy fats, lots of vegetables, low glycemic fruits."

    Don't forget to reread your DANDR 2002!
