New to low carb lifestyle | | | Hello everyone!
My name is Anne, I'm 29 and I am trying atkins for the first time. I am a firm believer in moderation, but a comment a few weeks ago from my boyfriend about how I was a carb junkie really got me thinking. I have no self control when I have a little taste of carbs, I eat until I am full. I very rarely eat until I am stuffed unless it's deserts. My job as a surgery resident encourages a binging lifestyle and I'm usually eating whatever I can get my hands on.
I like the sound of Atkins because I can eat until I am full, I eliminate my temptations, and bring in a whole new group of foods I usually have access to, but normally wouldn't eat.
I am interested in an tricks or words of advice for those who have completed the atkins weight loss or who are almost there. | |

This is my first time on atkins.
I have tried most every diet, including the run my butt off diet (finished my first marathon June 1 2008 in San Diego). My boyfriend noted a few weeks ago how I was addicted to carbs, I had an epiphany, and here I am.
8/18/08-199 I think. I was scared that I might see a 2 as the first number, so I didn't weigh myself.
