Lurking?

[misterimpatient]

I'm not sure how to introduce myself. In July 2002 I weighed 306 pounds. Today, month in and month out, I weigh 170 pounds. My plan of eating excludes foods with added sugar and foods with wheat. These are my trigger foods.

I work the program of Overeaters Anonymous and I'd like to be available to answer any questions about this. OA has no opinion on Atkins or any other plan of eating. Neither do I Whatever works for you is cool with me.

I can just add that I lived as a fat man for a long time. I'm grateful that is not me today. Not fat around the waist and not fat (too fat) in the head.

Hey, we are grateful for you! Nice work!

Staying sugar free is going to be the key for most of us, I think. Donuts are evil, got me where I am today!

mmmmmm donuts....just kidding

One of the things I've learned is to be neutral about foods which are not mine. Donuts are not my food just like cat food is not mine. Cat food is fine for cats and donuts are fine for normal eaters. If I could eat one donut, they'd be ok for me but I have decades of experience proving that the concept of ONE is foreign. So, donuts are just not my food, like cat food.

Cheers!

That is so wierd. I just posted a thread called "Overeaters Anonymous Anyone?" earlier this morning in the Main Atkins Forum..
