Hi, Denyse
Thank you for sharing your story. I can really relate to what you wrote above... when I re-started the Atkins WOE in Feb '07, I pretty much felt hopeless. After going through an unexpected, difficult medical issue, I let myself stray from the Atkins path... I re-gained 32 of the 60 pounds I had lost in the year prior to the surgery. Out of desperation, I tried NutriSystem. While I lost about 9 pounds in 3 weeks doing it, I eventually rebelled so much at the gross food that not only did I gain those 9 pounds back, but I actually gained even more. My husband saw how depressed I was and finally sat me down, and begged me to give Atkins another try because it had worked for me before. I started the next day, with a determination to do everything exactly the way it was supposed to be done. And I haven't looked back.
I'm very happy that you've found us.
