Hi all low carbers !
I am new to this board ... I stumbled upon it just surfing the web being miserable about not being able to stick to my weight loss plans.
My name is Carrie, Im from Ontario, Canada and I am 19 years old. Ive been wanting to be thin since I was about 8 or 9. My mum put a lot of pressure on me because she was always big and did not want me to become big as well. I suffered from Anorexia for 4 years , but that is safely gone now. But here I am at 165 pounds .... and Im hating it.
I tried Atkins last year at about this time, and combined with daily gym routines, I lost 15 pounds in about three weeks. Then a 60 hours per week summer job made me miserable, and the need to reach for carbs became overpowering. Then University, and so on and so on. But I feel that Ive gotten HUGE and i need to stop being a carbohydrate FIEND. I want to go home and be able to show off a trim body like I did last year, and then some.
BUT, I AM GOING TO NEED A LOT OF HELP AND SUPPORT (being not as strong as I would like to be).
I think this is the perfect place for that - Ive always longed for a buddy, or a group of people that I could do this with .
dam i love these smileys . they make me feel gooooooood
Hope to hear from someone soon , for encouragement
Carrie
