Weird lost 2 more lbs today. Metabolism? »

Down 18 lbs in one month for those of you in need of motivation.

You all can definently do it if I can. I’ve struggled for the longest with my weight especially for the last two years. A month ago before I started this diet I was in deep depression. Mainly because of my weight and stress at work and other personal issues. I finally realized that I’m still young and I still have a life ahead of me so Atkins came to mind. I remember the first time I heard of the atkins. It was before I joined the military. My aunt was telling me about how easy it was and all the other stories of the diet. Ofcourse during that time I didn’t believe her. Nor did I care. So when I joined the military I was about 154 and when I got out of bootcamp I was at 140. I loved that size. Noone could tell me anything. But after a year or so my weight started to creep up but I was always working out constantly so I managed to keep it off, but I continuously ate. I was a top notch binger. My average weight at those times was always at 153/156 not too bad, but it wasn’t where I wanted to be. So when I left Japan and moved to San Diego for surgical tech school. Life was stressful. The school was no joke so I constantly ate to fill that void. Depression started to sink in as I got bigger and bigger. I would starve myself for a couple of days and lose like 8 to 10 lbs then I was right back on a binge. My weight continuously fluctuated. Then once I graduated school and moved to Maryland to work in the hospital. Things only got worse. I was depressed and couldn’t stop eating for the life of me. I even stopped working out completely for 5 months straight. The longest I’ve gone without working out and I got to be 186-190 lbs and I was really hating life. So I thought of Atkins. Tried it just before Christmas for the first time and lost 12lbs but gained it back. Finally when I got back home from vacation it took me a while to make up in my mind to try atkins once again. So I did and hear I am. Never knew I could stay on a diet so long and be satisfied and feel great and still lose weight. Sorry this is long and a lot of you may not read it. But this is for those of you that need the motivation. Even if noone reads or responds to this thread. It will be somewhere on this forum if anyone needs it. God Bless everyone.
