Default Trying again

Hi,
About five years ago I had huge success doing atkins and kept the weight off for about 2 years. I felt fantastic and never thought I could be so small! I was so fit and walked everday. Then I developed what has since been diagnosed as fibromyalgia and to cut a long story short I am bigger than I have ever been at 75 kgs when I was at 57kgs. Anyway, on 163cm of height this is too much weight my doctor tells me and I know cos I feel just blahh. I have tried a few times to do atkins again but I always give up after day 3 which is where I am at now and I am swaying again but trying to be strong. The fatigue and pain become extreme around this point and I really just want the sugar soooo bad.
I Didnt use this forum last time so I am hoping it will make the difference.
There are some amazing success stories on here!
So here I go again...
Look forward to our chats.

Hi aclarke, welcome to the board. This board has really helped me because of the people. We are all in this together. So you are among friends and fellow losers. Making Atkins your new way of life is the first step. Reading the board on a regular basis has helped me to stay strong. Wish you success.
