Everyday I look in the mirror and tell myself ...

I AM FOCUSED!!

I AM UNSTOPPABLE!!!

I AM DESTINED TO BE THIN!!! (I have a tiny head, of course I'm suppose to be thin! Have you ever seen a tiny head on a huge fat woman??? Not attractive! - I want to wear french braids again someday, that's just not an option right now!! )

The only other thing I can tell you is that maybe Atkins is not the plan for you. There are many other plans that are a little different and people lose weight on them just as fast. If you go to the quick link "Which low carb plan is right for me" on the side of the page, you will find a ton of wonderful information. I'm not a reader, but since I started LC'ing I've read more than I ever have. I know I will only be able to do Atkins for so long and then I will switch to one of the other plans that seems more liveable long term to me.

Good luck! You can do it!
