I am giving the Atkins diet a try again. I tried it about three years ago, but stopped because my cravings (and headaches) were getting the best of me. Now I think that there is much more available (especially chocolate-wise :) ).
Of course, my husband thinks I'm a little crazy, but I told him that he needs to support me or I will never loose this weight. I gained this weight 7 years ago (Wow, has it been 7 years already!) when I gave birth to my first daughter, then I immediately got pregnant with my second daughter. I stayed at home for the first 3 years with them and ran a daycare business, so the snacking and munching was freely acceptable.
Now that my girls are older and I am back in the corporate world, I am just sick of carrying around this weight! I want to get back to the size I was before I got pregnant - wouldn't that be nice!! I have a lot of support at work, there are a lot of people there on the diet as well!
My only problem that I am finding is dinner for the family. I am tending to try to cook for myself, and I still have to cook for my family a "regular" dinner. I, like many Moms, have extremely picky kids that live on the staples of pizza, chicken nuggets, macaroni and cheese, etc., so it is really hard not to end up fixing three separate meals - One for me, One for my husband, and One for the kids. Anyway, any suggestions would be appreciated!!!
I love this website and all the support that I have found here. I will definitely be able to stick to the diet since I have found LCers!!! :yay:
