I am horrified at the idea of trying to go on a roller coaster or even an airplane.

I am over 300 lbs right now, have been researching this diet and browsing this forum for about a week. I am so inspired by what everyone has to say in many sites, that I have ordered the Atkins book and plan to start the diet as soon as possible.

My main problem here is that I live way up north in Canada, in a fly in place and have to order many of my groceries a month or two at a time. I don't think I'll get this book (also mail order) before I have to place at least a small grocery order, so I am wondering if anyone would be interested in posting for me, their "top ten items" to have on hand, besides the obvious unprocessed meat and eggs...I'll have a better idea of what veggies to order once I get the book in hand, but as I said, that may take a week or so still, and I want to order some groceries by the weekend.

I hope you don't mind helping and thanks for being inspirational in your posts so far.
