Well if you read The Obesity Myth, he shows statistics/research that shows losing weight or "dieting" is in fact NOT healthy.

Don't I know it!

I realized that the fat in a traditional Atkins diet like the one I had been doing was just not working for me cholesterol-wise. Low carb AND low fat can be done, is ridiculously healthy (in my opinion)and has made the weight come off, made me feel good and brought my cholesterol down 80 points in under a month.

I have become Anal Queen (shush!) and even Kyle has been picking up on it. He actually bought Kashi cereal the other day. He loves FF dressings. He loves what I cook and he can't tell it's low fat. He still eats Crab Rangoon and Pizza Rolls... but I'm working on it.

I do have in my favor that I don't smoke. Kyle is down to one a day and doesn't get one unless he reminds me. ( I hid them under the toilet plunger in the bathroom. Hell, I could have put them under the kitchen sponge - he avoids dishes like the plague.)

Tell y'all what. I would be SMOTHERED with joy to provide my typical diet and recommendations from my nutritionist, my experiences, tips, recipes, to anyone who wants it. I'll even FAX you a copy of my diet chart graph plan thingy that the dietician did for me. It has everything on it, down to the last carb and calorie.

Rely dear, any way I can help you, let me know. That goes for everyone here, too.

You know, I got to this point a while ago, too...

For me though (at 29, eek!) it's more about wanting to have children in the near future. I want to be healthy, I want my children to be healthy. I want as few worries as possible. And you know what? I also want to be a cute pregnant lady, not a fat one! lol

Sure thing, toots!

I will send it from home, my real email, tomorrow. I will have the day off (sort of) and will have PLENTY of time to send it to you. I get outta workies here at seven in the morning, sleep a bit, take Kyle to Dr. (I think he's pregnant)and have all day to screw off.

Anyone else who is interested, email me!
