Thanks B!

I should update the story. It was written about a year ago. Got to find a full body shot though...

I too, still have both kidneys and my liver! ;)

Please do (update) and add more pics.

I love reading the success stories and really appreciate the updates so that I can see that people really can and do maintain their new weight (and kidneys and livers ;) )!

Hi Karen,

I LOVED your success story and your style of writing. There was so much I identified with that I was alternately laughing and shaking my head. You hit it right on the nail, I think, with the phrase "white death". That was me. But I am so thankful that I have found my way to a (mostly) peaceful existence and a WOE that I can live with very happily. I, too, had my dreadful long flirtations with Dr. Ornish and Dr. Pritikin and both left me fatter, sadder, and eventually a full-fledged Type II Diabetic.

Fortunately I had the wisdom to invite some new doctors into my life: Atkins, Eades, Bernstein & Schwarzbein.
Thanks so much for posting your story.

Your life story sounds so much like mine. I started the atkins diet 2 days ago. Reading your story helped me. Thanks. Now i know I can do it to.
