I filled out this pair of trouser one year ago today. Unbelievable change.
Tomorrow will be the start of my 52nd week on Atkins, it's difficult to believe how far I've come over the last year. If it hadn't been for a tech journalist called Paul Thurott talking about the Gary Taubes book 'Why we get fat' I'd never have started low carbing and found this website. It's no lie to say that without the help and support of all the good folks here, I doubt I'd have been so successful. Thank you, one and all.
I've been wondering the last few weeks why I've been feeling that I'm fatter now than I was when I started on Atkins nearly a year ago. After much puzzling over this apparent disconnect I think I've found the reason. It's to do with the clothes I'm now wearing, unlike the loose, formless garments of a year ago I'm wearing tailored shirts and tapered trousers. Clothing which actually touches the skin rather than billows out around it. Weird how your mind works isn't it.
