Hey all!!
I started on atkins two days ago, feeling good, yet still finding it hard to get my head round the idea that the foods i'm eating are going to help me loose weight. I'm a bit of a serial dieter, so have the calorie counting mentality. Hence trying Atkins - obviously the other diets haven't worked for me or I wouldn't be!!
Did Cambridge Last year, and lost quite a lot of weight, but after getting sick and being advised to take a break, I just couldn't bring myself to eat the soups/ shakes etc. I then tried Xenical, but just ost motivation with the low fat caorie counting thing.... Shame with that one because i'd started so positively!!
Anyway, now i'm on Atkins. I go to the gym 2-3 times a week, and bely dancing once a week (I did keep up the exercise after stopping xenical, which i'm really pleased with).
I have a beautiful two year old boy, In the last six months I have married my gorgeous husband, and have just finished a degree, and recently turned 30. I'm now working towards starting my own business, and have noticed since achieving these life changing goals over the last two years, I have become far more aware of my mortality than I previously was in my crazy 20's where partying, alcohol, and boys were my priority. I want to be around to watch my children/grand children etc, and tackling my weight issues is a huge step to achieving this.
I do have a coupe of questions to ask;
I have a huge tea addiction. If I continued to drink tea with mik, will this completely fail the diet?
Is there anything I can eat to satisfy my occasional need for a sweet fix? I don't have a huge sweet tooth, but every now and then I do.
I look forward to getting to know people on here.
