I have been overweight for most of my life. Recently my weight has been out of control at the heaviest I have been 312. I have been going to a nutritionist for bariatric surgery; however, I decided I did not want to do the surgery if I could loose the weight myself. Therefore, I have started Atkins. I was a skeptic at first and did not believe in this lifestyle change. My friend Sarah and her husband started about 1-1.5 years ago with Atkins. They have had great success with it.
I have been on Atkins for 10 days so far. The first 7 days was the hardest with headaches and nausea. I made it through. One major flaw of mine is I love desserts and trying to replace them with Atkins friendly recipes has been a challenge. I am determined to change my lifestyle and has success in loosing the weight and improving my overall health.
