This thread is wonderful....has brought tears to my eyes reading other people's sunshine moments. I'm so happy for you all!! And for me, too....

1) When I stopped myself just in time from having to go buy a new, larger size wardrobe because the 16's were getting too small. I found Atkins and this forum and now I'm back in my 14's!....got plenty of those in my closet!

2) When I BEAT my 5:15a alarm in the mornings anxious to start my BFL workout.

3) When I relish the taste of a strawberry or the crunch of broccolli and realize that my perspective on food now is so much healthier.... I eat to live, not live to eat.

4) When my husband tells me I look sexy in my workout clothes even when I have "hospital hair", no make up, and 30 lbs. overweight.

5) Realizing a new-found determination, confidence, and ZEAL that I've never experienced before....and figuring out that this is what is known as a "runner's high"!! And I've got one!

God bless you all!!
