| because I can wear clothes that I wore over 3 years ago. Those leather pants I got from the GAP outlet ($50 what a deal!!) and wore once before ballooning to almost 200lbs are just around the corner. My hubby called this morning just to say he is really proud of all the work I am putting into this new way of life, and to say that I am looking really good!!!!--Of all of the inspiration I am getting from the amazing people on this board!!! |

| I feel so great that I'm allowed to eat! We were touring houses today (I'm a Realtor), and they had a chinese luncheon buffet. I had chicken wings (no sauce) and pork slices (again, no sauce). I skipped the rice and the duck sauce, neither of which appealed to me. Afterwards, a fellow realtor was complaining that she shouldn't have eaten any of that stuff, and she "was doing so well until today!" I just laughed and said, "That was all legal stuff for me, and I enjoyed every bite!" To all the people that think Atkins is too restrictive, I beg to differ. I've felt restricted my whole life, until I started this WOL, and THAT is a great feeling. |

| Im right there with ya... Every other "diet" (I dont refer to Atkins as a diet) has always restricted me, now I feel like im still eating all the good food in the world...... It doesnt have to be sweet to be good, nor does a sandwich have to be on a roll etc to be a sandwich. I love this WOE and WOL |

| I feel great just being in control of my appetite! Every other diet I've been on, I would just obsess and obsess about food, and think about what I would eat "once I got skinny", and of course then I would succumb to the cravings and fail. On this WOL, food is NOT an obssession, and sometimes it is very easy for me to forget to eat! Unheard of before!

| I feel great because most of the clothes that I took out this spring are now too big on me, I have tons of energy and I'm eating so many delicious things! The last time I lost 30 pounds, it took me 6 months of really depriving myself to lose it, and then, when I finally gave up and gained it all back, I felt like such a weakling. This time, it took 11 weeks to lose 30 pounds and I feel like I can continue to eat this way for the rest of my life. I'm excited about what is to come, rather than looking into a bleak future of deprivation!
