Hi, (or Dia dhuit as we say in the Irish)
I just found this forum and am SO surprised. I'm SO happy to see you lasses and lads.
I'm on holiday/business in America and found the Atkins Diet Revolution book as well as the Atkins for Life and then started the diet THREE DAYS ago.
I'm so happy to see other Irish people on the diet as I've been wondering how I'm going to stick with this when I get back home what with two kinds of potatos and brown bread at every meal and the office pub lunches of roast and gravy on the work days.
You know how it is in Ireland. If you're not eating then you're not well. Especially, the Sunday dinners at the mammys.
Awhile back one of the neighbours who has a bit of land by ours told a relative at mass that I looked to be a "fine block of a woman" and you KNOW that is not a compliment anywhere outside of rural Ireland.
I don't want to be a "fine block" anymore. I want to be like Gwyneth Paltrow. Well, maybe a BIT fatter.
Can't wait to talk to you. Any suggestions or tips will be followed faithfully.
The first night I had a terrible headache and found the chat here. The people were SO nice and told me where to go to start my journal and how to do my BMI. I did both right that very night.
Maybe I can succeed this time with this kind of help. :)
