:q: Okay here goes....
I am 40 years old, mother of 3 boys 14yo,10yo, and 4 yo. Through my life I never had a wt. problem until after the 2nd child. Then my wt peaked at 184 lbs! I got pg. with the 3rd child and never got under the 184 after I had him. So about 3 years ago, I was fed up with myself and depressed and a friend told me about the baratriac clinic I could go to and get adipex. I went and started the speed and man! did I love it! The lbs. melted off of me and it was exciting, I was feeling so good about myself and full of energy and really high on life again. My husband and I started going out more and dancing and just enjoying life again. Well, I reached my goal wt. at 130 and was in a size 6 and was gonna maintain, but nope quit the adipex, and started eating whatever I wanted when I wanted and no exercise and put it back on so fast it caused whip lash in my neck. I am here at 164 lbs, depressed (Depression is a monster I fight regardless of what is going on in my life) and really not motivated to do anything. I want to sit, I hate exercise, I don't want to give up my coffee, I love sweets! but I do want to loose wt. so decided to start the atkins, My husband did it several years ago and lost 50lbs on it so I was a little familiar with it. I have only been trying it for about 5-6 days now and have to admit, I do ok, except I do pinch some cake, or dab my finger in icing on the cake...I promise I only have a pinch, and a piece of candy here and there, but i bet that is too much especially on the induction! man, this is hard!! So thought I would introduce myself and see if anybody could give some encouragement/thoughts or whatever to help...
thanks
