Lexy, my suggestion to you would be to buy the Atkins book. It will tell you everything you need to know and provide some inspiration during the first few difficult weeks. Here what I can tell you in a nutshell. The first two weeks you must give up sugar, dairy, breads, pasta, potatoes, fruit and anything else with carbs. The only carbs you may eat are from vegetables. Eggs, meat, fish, cheese, veggies, butter, oil, olives are allowed. It was very difficult for me the first week but by the second I was feeling better. I ate eggs for breakfast, salad for lunch and meat and a veggie for dinner. For snack I would have an Atkins breakfast bar or sugar-free jello. Buy whipped cream because it is allowed in moderation and really got me through the sugar withdrawals. You will have withdrawals. I felt dizzy at times and had a few headaches. Those only lasted a few days. Once you get through that you feel so wonderful and you have lost weight! After two weeks you may begin to add carbs. I added some fruit, berries are best. I also added the carb friendly ice cream bars which are so soo good! My appetite decreased and I was able to eat less and feel fuller. I absolutely love the diet and have found many wonderful low carb foods at the grocery store. Now that I have lost a good deal of weight I am more liberable with myself but still pretty much stick to low carb eating. I am continuing to lose about a pound a week with cheating on occassion. Good luck to you and if I can think of any more tips I will send them your way. Let me know if I can help at all. Mrs. C

Trucker, I guess I made you feel the same way I felt when I read Lynne's message. Sorry. I guess I just learned something tonight. Be happy with what I've got! I am blessed! Thanks for giving me a different perspective. Mrs. C

> i did it, i bailed on our plans tomorrow to go to the racetrack...my boyfriend is upset with me now,
Sweetie, just concentrate on getting better, and you will have a lifetime to make up for it.
> but how can i explain what i am feeling..i just feel like i want to be alone, yet at the same time i dont...
You can't explain it to someone who hasn't experienced it.
> i just feel really sad, like this happiness i recently found is being threatend my my illness..i just want to be normal, i want to be happy, but i keep letting people down and in turn i let myself down. i just feel like curling up with my pillow and crying for a week straight.
This is what life looks like through the eyes of depression. It WILL go away, and life WILL be good again!
> since i bailed maybe i will start my increase tomorrow.
It may help, but give it some time to take effect.
> i am such a letdown,
No you aren't. You aren't well. And when the depression lifts, so will the negative self-talk. So try not to dwell on it now. Be kind to yourself through the recovery process, and don't expect too much of yourself just yet.
God bless.

Now Mag you are fine...I hope that you did the increase today that would give you an extra head start...You did not bail you realized that it was more than you could handle right now and you took care of yourself...!!!!...It will be fine if he loves you he will eventually understand it is very hard for them to figure all this out..My husband knows what I go through but still can be frustrated with me because of it and it is usually because he feels useless to help me and he just doesnt understand..Mag that is what we are here for we are here to understand and to get you through the hard times and to rejoice with you in the good times!!!!...and from what everyone tells me that will happen..I have recently increased and couldnt have done it without people like simus who is always there to help and to explain things to us all she is an angel..and Mrs C I remember her from the very beginning and she has never let me down not once...So take comfort in that...There is always lexy she is not on as much but she is very helpful and everyone else that comes and goes...Mag please give yourself a break about this one thing and enjoy the rest of the weekend it will be ok...breathe and try to relax..You did the right thing...I dont think that many of us couldve gone through that situation feeling the way that we do and I know I have a hard time with that many people when I'm feeling good...I luvya Mag and I'm here for you..I will check in through out the day and see how you are...did you take the increase??...Take care Mystic

hey mystic, thank you i'm glad at least you guys can understand, this morning was brutal my bf sent me a messege and it made me really sad, this is what it said. "Im tired of this im going to stop making plans with you cause all you do is let me down. I try so hard to go out and have some fun but its like you dont want that. Its been 10 months almost ive been trying to get you to go to the movies with me and its like u dont want to. I feel like i should stop trying." this made me really really sad...the truth is i havent told him about my anxiety all he knows is that i have depression but i dont know how to explain this anxiety to him, i hate it, i dont want him to think less of me...i wish i could do all these 'normal' things that other couples do, like the movies! i wish i could sit through one and not even think about it, its true i always make excuses why i dont want to go cause what am i supposed to say "umm i dont want to go cause i will start to feel unconfortable and freak out because of reasons i dont know, ps. your girlfriend is insane. "
i know im being hard on myself i just dont want my bf to think i dont want to do these things with him...i feel like i am ruining the only thing in my life right now that is making me soo happy.
Mystic thank you for your kind words, and yes Mrs C is wonderful too...im glad i have you guys to remind me that i am not alone.
love Mags
