Melissa,

I am going through the same thing as you are. I have lost and gained twice now, neither time with Atkins but nonetheless, I can relate. I know how disgusted with yourself you are. For me, it was like I lost control or something and tried to just block it out. My husband is very fit, ex military and isn't always as supportive as I would like him to be but with weight loss comes enpowerment. Try not to dwell on the fact that you gained weight like potato said. You already know that you can do this.
I have been losing quite rapidly so far. I started Atkins on April 23, 2004 and have lost 21 pounds as of yesterday. Maybe lower your carb intake and up your fats. Are you exercising too? I don't do enough probably but have been trying to daily. Hang in there! Don't ever feel like you are alone.

You know what inspires me? I come here and see others...some weigh more than me and I read and I look at their pictures and what I have to lose doesn't seem so impossible.
