Hi Tanaka,

Some of your posts sound a bit like me. I did Atkins successfully 4 years ago, rested on my glory. and re-gained all and then some. Then I spent quite some time whining about being fat - all the while stuffing my face with donuts, ice-creme, and all kinds of other "goodies". Until I kept telling myself to either quit whining, or do something about it - and I had to tell myself that line quite a bit before I listened to it.

It took a while, but as of mid-May, I'm back on the program. And if I can do it, so can anyone. Re-read your signature statement - you have the best help you can get. Just call on HIM when it gets tough.

And so what if we've tried before and failed... I don't even remember how many times I quit smoking before I finally quit for good. It takes practise but it can be done. Get the latest version of Atkins' book - or see if maybe onother low-carb plan might work better for you - either way, when you are ready, you will have the strenght to see it through.

Make a choice and choose your health.

Good Luck!
