Hi Everyone

[Susan33]

Ok, I am back....

After a few crisis, family related. I am finally getting back to doing Atkins. I am ashamed to say, I gained all the weight back that I lost during my first time on atkins. I am now finished with my first 2 weeks. I only lost 8 lbs. But hey, I am happy with 8lbs gone.

It's been a bad year. With my mom having a major stroke, my doggy passing away, my x-husband abusing my son....I turned back to food for comfort. I know I shouldn't have, but I did. Well I can't change those things now. But I am back on atkins and hopefully this next year will not be as bad and I won't turn to food again for comfort. Plus, I am now seeing a doc to help me get through my stress of everything that has happen in the last year. I've learned that Anxiety and depression gets the best of us.

Well, wish me luck everyone! And I'll see yall around!

Susan

Susan, 8lbs is great! Keep it going. It helps me to remember this is a journey, not a trip. They'll be stumbles along the way...the secret is to stand back up and keep walking!

Best wishes to you!
