Husband Lost 50lbs....my Turn!! Again!

[doinitforme]

I started Atkins last December with my husband.......he continued and I quit!
He has lost 50 pounds and now I am determined to make this work!
I have the diet down as I have been cooking for my husband for the last 4 months. I also was cooking for my children(ate with them!) and could not seem to stay motivated! We live in Europe and you would think that being one of the few overweight people in town would have done it for me.......I never really paid attention to other people but have noticed recently that people are looking at me as if I am suffering from some kind of disease.....I am going to be thin and healthy by fall.......I know that this diet works....I see my shrinking husband everyday to remind me!
Now to stay on track and motivated! Have the initial head-ache....but I know that will pass.....

I have to remembe that I am truly doinitforme!!!!

Welcome Alison..you already can tell the program works... You can do this for you

These boards are great.....feel a little craving.....TYPE a few words and it will pass!!!! Plan to go to Italy again in the fall and this time........will not be afraid to show some skin....eventhough it is 40 year old skin.....I am hoping that there is still some elastic left in it!!!!hahahahaha

In Europe overweight people are truly the minority. And this time I have the motivation to really turn this around....I will be able to BLEND.........

Too bad that my size 10 jeans are now so out of style that I will have to get an entire new wardrobe!

Thanks.......

Day 2.........and looking forward to the first full week completed! I think that my body thinks I am trying to DROWN it! I am not a water drinker and I am on my second liter today.....There is a voice inside begging for soda......It is that same voice that got me in trouble the first time around...I am drowning it out with my Ipod!!!!

Hey Alison! Welcome to the board. Yup, this time it's all for YOU and your husband will support you because he knows the drill, and that's a good thing!

Welcome Doinitforme! Great nic!
Seems like you're really in a good frame of mind. That's half the battle, and I'm positive you'll be successful this time around. Plus you have your husband to encourage you, which is cool.

I know what you mean about people here in Europe not being overweight. I'm in Italy and here too people are very slim on the whole... not the way people imagine Italians to be at all! I'm sure you'll have a good time here...and there are plenty of terrific foods you can eat that are not pasta, bread and pizza!

Keep us posted as to your progress!
