You guys are just too great! What inspirations!

Rob, I'm on my fourth day of induction and I know just how you feel. It's really hard to let go of all those things we've been told and told for years. To be honest, I'm a little afraid to let my doctor know what I'm doing for fear of his reaction! I won't have to see him again for several months so maybe by then he won't care what I've done, just that I've done it!

I have a friend who has lost over 100 pounds over the course of about two years. She's always been closed mouthed about her 'diet' and, when we have eating functions at church, she just says "I've already eaten". Well, I just asked her on Monday if she knew anything about Atkins and she laughed and admitted that's how she's lost the weight! She's not been real forthcoming with that fact because of the way so many people have looked at her funny and lectured her. She said she's not been 100% true to it and she's content to lose the weight very slowly. But it gave me real hope! A living, breathing example!

So, for all us newbies, let's hang in there and see what happens!
