Atkins compared to pregnancy (books)! lol | Okay ... this might sound strange but, at some times I compare reading "the book" and reading the book on pregnancy - "What to Expect When You're Expecting". Why? Well, when I first learned I was pregnant, I ran out and bought the book. When I knew I was going to do this diet again and do it the RIGHT way, I ran out, bought "the book". While reading the pregnancy book, I waited for the symptoms and signs of pregnancy to start happening. While reading Dr. Atkins' book, I'm recognizing symptoms and waiting for signs of weight loss to start happening.
I guess it was just funny to me in a way to compare the two. And, I guess what's the same in both is - when we're all done, we've delivered something special! A baby - which sheds a few pounds (the baby and fluids, etc.)and makes us few wonderful ... and Weight loss which makes us feel wonderful and allows us to enjoy our children even more by being healthy and fit enough to do stuff with them.
Just thought I'd share that comparison. lol | |
