Introducing .... moi

[starkittenx]

Oh hai!

(Sorry, couldn't resist and I promise I won't ever do it again ..... Maybe.)

Anyway, hi!

I was asked to introduce myself so here goes.

Please call me eri. That isn't my name but I like the way it sounds. I'm not really new to the Atkin's WOE but I really do need some support and this seemed like a good place to get it.

28 yrs old/female/5'4"

SW: 285 lbs August 2007 (started reading Atkin's Diet Revolution)

I think I started the induction in October and by December I'd gotten down to 255 lbs but a friend convinced me to try being vegan because she was horrified by the meat industry. My lowest weight last summer was 238 lbs but I got really sick from the vegan diet and just gave up on dieting altogether .... Sort of.

I ended up reverting to my old ways of binging/purging (I was bulimic in high school) and gained some weight back. I am tired of being sick though. I know I can loose weight and be healthy if I follow Dr Atkin's advice so I'm ready to start over.

CW: 252 lbs May 2009

I am meeting someone very special in December and would sooooo love to be below 200 lbs by then. He's already seen me and he thinks I'm beautiful but yeah, if you're a girl you know how this is. Eventually I want to be at the healthy weight I was in high school before I became bulimic and started destroying my body.

GW: 135 - 140 lbs

I'm not diabetic, yet but I do have back problems because I have an apple body and so most of my excess weight is around my torso. I don't drive a car so I already do a lot of walking and now that summer is here I'm going to be swimming as well.

I've been haunting these forums for awhile now and I love how everyone seems so supportive and kind. So yeah, thats me. Hi!
