Good Morning!
Just today I weighed myself to find out that I made my first mini-goal! 42 pounds down, 27 more to go! I am very excited. I thought I would take this opportunity to finally post a roll call and introduce myself. I have been on Atkins since October 2007, went off in March 2008, and have been on again since the beginning of this month. This time I will stick to it. I have every ounce of determination in the world.
A question I ask myself every morning: why do I do it? Why is it important for me to lose weight? Why am I so obsessed with becoming healthier? Is it that my family deserves it? The people I work with? My friends?
No. It is not. It is for me.
Whenever I look at myself in the mirror, I know that not only will I soon get to my goal weight, but I will also feel better (I already do!), I will have a naturally better attitude towards life, and the most important result: I will know that I can accomplish anything in the world. To accomplish this before grad school this fall (my hopeful goal) will be a testament to a new me... a new way of life, a better person, a more rounded individual, someone who starts something and doesn't give up, and someone who can take the world head on!
Losing weight is no easy task, and anyone who does so successfully has proven to be an incredibly strong individual. So, when you are about to give up, or you wonder why you even go through with it, just know if you can do this (and I know you can!)… you can accomplish anything this world throws your way. AND you will be an inspiration to all those who have tried to bring you down or who lack motivation of their own.
I hope your Friday treats you well! We are almost at the weekend!
Best of Success!

I started my Masters program in October 2004, which coincidentally was the same time I started on Atkins.
All joking aside, I think I'll probably know when I'm at my goal weight. I've seen the "too skinny" on many people and definitely know what I don't want to look like.
