This is the day to remember and not forget.

[StarRuin]

Hi everyone.
I am back here because this worked for me before and as scared as I am to try again I feel as though I am given a second chance. I started Atkins for the first time the summer of 2004 and it changed a lot for me. Since then I have gone up almost 60 pounds.

I cannot stop I have tried. I need to do this and do it right. I am scared of failure, yet again but I cannot live this life I love so much -not the way that I want to anymore. I know what it is like to weigh over 230 pounds and I WILL not see that number again and I am so close to almost being there again.

I will start new today and not forget the damage I have done, but learn from it and take control.

I am a 22 year old student who just moved to Van, BC and look forward to talking with everyone and I remember the support you all give.

Best of Luck
Sasha

Welcome back, glad you are here. If I had only stuck to it the first time, I would be in great shape right now too. But I cannot change the past, only, as you said, learn from it. I have to make this work for me and it sounds like you are back on your way to your own personal victory. Good luck. You can do it.

Don't beat yourself up! you are 22 years old, plenty of life ahead of you. In a few months you will be back down and you will forget all about how you are feeling towards yourself right now. Be happy that you are going to change and grab life by the horns! Life is to be lived!
Anyone can go around and be miserable. That's the easy way out.
Make the choice to be happy and positive, because if you are making the choice to become fit and healthy you have taken the first step!

Live, learn and love!
