Returning to Atkins after a long break

[voiceteacher]

After my second child I had tremendous success with Atkins. I got down to a size seven or large six and maintained for two years. I began to struggle with my eating after my husband was stationed on the other side of the country. I gained back about 15-20 pounds. I was still in pretty good shape, but I knew I could be smaller. We found out we were going to be moving back home and two weeks later my father died very suddenly. I sank into a huge depression and gained another fifty pounds. I know that I don't want to do this anymore. I hate being fat and not having energy. I hate being a slave to food. Atkins is the only plan that has ever worked for me before and so here I am, getting back at it. I look forward to sharing with other Atkids.

Congratulations on making all the right changes. Post often and share and you will be even more motivated.

Welcome VoiceTeacher,
I know exactly how your feeling. Do you know that folks who start before the Holidays seem to stick with it better than those who wait til after the new year.
You'll find some awesome help here and be of help to other. Welcome again

Thanks again! I didn't want to wait until New Years. The concept of gaining even more before then scared me far too much! My highest weight was 202. I sure don't want to go any higher.
