Hey Everybody!!
My name is Sharon and I started the atkins diet just a few short weeks ago. I've already lost 30lbs and I feel better than I have in awhile. :) I'm 22 years old and my starting weight was 367lbs. Just a few short months ago I started getting really depressed mainly because of my weight and I thought I had no way out.(I just wanted to be Happy) Unfortunatly, I tried taking my own life without a fight and woke up the next day in the hospital. I spent a few days in the hospital and was sent home to the very life I tried to end. A month later I was still depressed and using food for comfort over the depression and gaining even more weight until one day a few weeks ago I was sitting on my mother's couch and noticed a Dr. Atkins Revolution book sitting on the book shelf and something kept telling me to pick the book up and take a glance at instead I begin reading It and found it very interesting and wondered if it would really work especially on someone as overweight as me. So I called my Grandmother (my hero) up and asked her about the Low-carb diet because she has been on It before and she told me that it would be perfect for me because I love eating sweets and bread(that's was what was putting on the pounds). That very next day I started the induction part of the diet which meant going cold turkey on the foods that I've been hiding behind for so long but, here I'am two weeks later feeling a lot better and I'm not as depressed as I have been in the months before. I know I' ve only been on the diet for a few weeks and It's not really a big success story but to me it's something that I am accomplishing something I haven't been able to do in a really long time. That's my story so far and it will continue :) I just want to thank everybody in here because reading you success stories have really helped me alot just knowing I'm not the only one out there and that I too can be successful as you have been. Thanx for listening to me I know its kinda long and I was blabbing on but I just couldn't Help.
Much Love
