I really believe that we all have a bigger issue than just being overweight. We have to heal from the inside out. Don't get me wrong I'm not this overly depressed person, who was abused as a child (ha ha). But, being overweight for so many years we tend to mask our true self.

Somtimes we forget how beautiful we are no matter what size we are and for some of us it will take a long time to appreciate our efforts even if it slow in coming. I've been doing adkins for over a year and lost 40 lbs. I'm satisfied with my effort because I know I'm making a life time change. I make mistakes and fall to the temptations of the "majority" of people who make carbs their only source of nutrition. But, I know what works for me so I have to re-commit myself over and over. I'm a work in progress and continue to be reminded that I'm only human. Low carbing is the way to go and it works for me.

Good Luck to all and God help us to appreciate ourselves they way we are today and hope for a better tomorrow.
