For me it was still being able to wear the same pants I wore when I was pregnant with my daughter..I gained a lot of weight when pregnant with my daughter, and hadn't lost all of it before I got pregnant again with my son. Well, after having my son, a year or more later, I was still wearing the pants I wore when I was pregnant with his sister. I was apalled. My health was terrible, I was home with a baby and a toddler, and a husband who was out of sight and living it up in another state. I felt like my life, my everything was worthless, and a mess.
The day I finally decided to try atkins was the day that I ran to the grocery store and had to wrestle my son into his car seat. When I did that, I dropped the car keys, had to bend over to pick them up. When I did bend over to get them the entire zipper of my jeans came busting out!! I remember holding my pants closed, grabbing the keys, and getting in to the car. I cried all the way home. I felt like I should die.
When I got home I called my mother and talked to her on the phone about the day I had and explained to her what happened. She told me that "your Aunt has just started that Atkins diet. All the ladies who work in the hospital are on it too and she has lost 10lbs already."
I took tat name and went with it. I knew nothing about atkins. I went to the lib. and got info on it and emailed her asking what I needed to do. I went with it and for that year and a half I lost over 60 lbs. I have gained a lot of it back. And now,instead of my point being at 248lbs., it was at 226. The weight I was when I was pregnant with my daughter! I can't belive that I am here again in this place.
