Active Low-Carber Forums - View Single Post - Stranger in a strange land

I am a newcomer. A newcomer to this forum, and a newcomer to the concept of NO caffeine (gasp, sputter, cough) and no sugar (oh god, I think I'm going to faint). I am kissing Red Bulls goodbye. I am kissing goodbye a whole lot of things (which I won't mention here because I don’t want to torture anyone talking about yummy carbie things). Perhaps most people on this site are over the carb cravings already, and it is just little (big) ol' me jonesing for some CENSORED right now.

So, I came to this place by recommendation of my friend Jasmine, who also turned me unto the Atkins diet. She has been doing it successfully for a few weeks now, and I have finally decided I was ready to give it a try (as I am finding my funky groovy collection of jeans aren’t fitting anymore, and I don’t want to keep gaining weight).

I expect I will be howling in anguish shortly from withdrawals, so I might not be around much for the next few days. I will do my best not to kill my cats or anyone who foolishly gets in my path during this trying time to come. Wish me luck!
