We are always the hardest on ourselves. I was helping my mother try on clothes for a wedding, and she was grabbing these figure hiding things. I told her she'd lost 40 pounds, start acting like it. And she found a dress she loved.

She doesn't have the perfect figure. I don't have the perfect figure. I was thrilled to get down to a 10, but there was a lady in the fitting room trying on 8's...and I started thinking...what would I have to do? I'm planning to exercise more, and I really like the way I eat, I'm tall with wide shoulders, long arms and legs...how much do I want to suffer to get to a size 8?

I'm in Atkins because it means no suffering! I'm not going to obsess.
