Hi! I'm new and starting over today

[JaLiliFer]

Hi, my name is Mary, and I've flirted with Atkins before, but have never followed through. Usually by day three I let my cravings control me. This time, it will be different. I am truly sick and tired of being sick and tired...and fat. The other day, I broke the plastic side guard on the drivers seat of our van. Because of my weight. I weigh at least 20 more pounds than my husband, and he isn't a skinny-malini anymore, either.

So here I am, with Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution in hand (I had to purchase a new copy, I lost the one I had previously), ready to do induction as induction is to be done, ready to make the changes I need to make.

Despite my penchant for run on sentences, I am actually poet and an English major. Bulletin boards just bring out my babbly side.
