Default Restoring my house and myself

Both myself and my house are in need of restoration. My house needs it since it is 130 years old and I need it..well because 3 years ago I lost 70 pounds on atkins. But then I was diagnosed with breast cancer. When i was told I would have do undergo chemo, I thought ok, I'll lose my hair but I might lose that last ten pounds. But "noooooooooo" the chemo nurse said, "you will probably gain, and btw, you need carbs so no more atkins for now". So here i am a year and a half out of treatment. Hair is back and the added 60 pounds are still here. In all honesty only 30 pounds is due to chemo the other 30 was from the emotional mess afterwards. After treatment I told my husband i needed a change so we went and sold our california house and bought a old folk victorian in Washington. Began work on it and now I am ready to get to work on myself as well. Wish me luck and nice to meet you all.

Cool, another Washingtonian. Welcome aboard. Also another fellow breast cancer survivor, double welcome. When I got the big C I decided to quit smoking so I really packed on the pounds

Welcome Serenity! You should have asked that nurse to show you the studies that say eating a high carb diet is required during chemo. Ridiculous...

Anyway, glad you are coming here and doing Atkins again!

I don't know if the carbs helped or not. But the chemo did make everything taste like metal....well, except for choc chip mint ice cream. *hanging head*
