Aw Rachie,
You sound just like me.Its amazing how weight plays such a big part in our lives. To be honest I found if you wear good fitting clothes and make the most of your assets(mine was my waist and boobs, nothing else though)and have a good haircut you find that thats what people look at first and by the time the look at your weight they already have made their mind up about you. God that sounds so cheesy, but if you feel nice it will show in your face.
When I started my sales job I was over weight but got bigger in the first year and people did judge me, eg I approached a women in her shop to sell her cards, but she didnt even acknowledge me so I left, when I went back 1 year on I had lost 4 stone and she couldnt have been nicer and she bought and is quite a good customer of mine now. People are just strange.
I dont really crave any carbs i think its more boredom and carby foods are easiest to reach for.I felt peckish last night before bed and made myself a lettuce,mayo and corned beef fajita and it really hit the spot and takes no time to make and doesnt cost you many carbs.
At least you can write on here and get loads of help and motivation and your not made to feel like a failure.
Get back on the atkins bus whenever your ready, no-one will go without you.
