Hi y'all,
As directed, I'm introducing myself. I'm 54 annd am restarting the LC WOL. Have always been thin (5'7" 155-120) until I had to take massive doses of steriods for mulltiple sclerosis. Then had back surgery. Well, I ballooned up to 250 and feel I look grotesque. Fortunately, my DH doesn't. Was doing pretty well on Atkins, and got down to about 199 or so,, amybe more. Don't have a scale, but had gotten down to about a 16 - I was beginning to see the light! Then we moved to Louisville, KY and had to stay with a niece of DH's. They ate so much fried food and huge dinners - it's no wonder there are so many fat people here!
Well, I'm now around 245 with a long way to go. Just hate myself this way. Wish I didn't, but being thin has been so deeply ingrained with me via my family, that no matter how hard I try, every time I see myself in the mirror, I just want to cry. Anyway, we now have our own place, so I can start the low carb way again.
Pleased to meet y'all......
