New and need some support
Hello all,
I just happened to stumble upon this website when I was looking up the Atkins diet. I think it is awesome their are places like this for those of us needing support and ideas to reach our weightloss goals!
I am starting the Atkins diet in hopes of losing 60 pounds. I currently weigh 202...blah. Anyway, I need to do something as I am always tired before the day is over and I don't even like to look at myself in the mirror. I have gained all this weight (used to weigh 143) in the last 3 years, I think mostly due to depression coupled with a very stressful life. I have just recently went off my anti-depressants and stopped using my birth control because of the weight gain side effects. I was supposed to get married this August but that has been put on the back burner due to various reasons. I want to be able to feel good about myself again and get back into my size 8 jeans. Any support you can offer would be much appreciated! Also, if there are any people that live in my area that would like to e-mail, chat, etc. for moral support that would be great too!
Tomorrow is the first day of a new beginning for me! I have a membership to 24hour fitness and I am going to start going on a regular basis...wish me luck.
