* Just anything else you'd like to share. This low carb thing is amazing. Everyone I mention it to says its the most horrible thing I could do to myself, I've decided my response is go read the book But it's great to know that I can now control my weight, I'll never have to buy bigger clothes again, and its fun to step on the scale (though it doesn't MOVE fast enough, but I have the rest of my life, I guess I shouldn't rush) But thats me

Well, introductions

Who am I? well that purely depends on the day, time and mood that I am in, been called many things some good and well some not so good (insert shocked look) The name that I post here is of course Crowbear, although I actually prefer "Bear" just cuz I have gotten used to that nickname. My real name is Matt. I am 34 and of course if I said "yes please" that would be construed as chavhanistic I would imagine so therefore I will add that I am male, although with the excersize and losing of weight that is happening it is throwing my hormones into high gear... but nuff said bout that (background noises of "chauvhanist" being said in whispers). I started LC in september of this year. I am divorced with a child who is in my custody and is turning 8 on Dec 25th. So I guess that kind of puts me in that "other" category (sees some knowing nods). I live in a town called Newberg it is about 25 miles south of Portland OR. Occupation... full time father, part time electronic technician, and all around daydreamer, and some dreams have come true, so no one can tell me that they don't. Already answered the question bout kids, I have a very loving and attention starved cat, and an annoying, but loving ferret. I am remaining on the induction part of the Atkins diet, it seems to be doing me the most amount of good, but would still love a visit from the whoosh fairy (hears something bout it taking years to get the weight on, must take a little while to take it off).

THE JUST FOR FUN PART

Steak done to a bloody rare (hears gagging sounds from the rear) hey, I have always said that you can just show the cow a flame and then bring it out....

Freshly baked sour dough bread (gives longing look toward San Francisco)

Pizza... got to have a pizza at least once a month... with the bread, I usually start off with the crust first.

I used to do 30 miles a day on my bike when I was going to school and it was an exhilarating experience, I want to be able to do that and be able to jog again.

I would love to be able to read books for a living, I love to read almost anything. have to add the anything just for the fact I have read some garbage that calls itself books, but knowledge even negative knowledge can be a good thing.

I would love to meet the Dalai Lamma.

I am currently reading whatever I can get my hands on, although I am writing my own novel.

Blade Runner is definately in my top 5 movies, along with Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence, The natural, Breakfast Club, and the Indianna Jones movies.

Anything else that I wish to share I will put in my journal
