I am (was) a pretty good looking woman, confident, funny, and happy. I'm retirement age but could not imagine staying home every day so work fulltime and am happy to be doing so. Apparently that is why God made me not so rich. And that's okay! He did not make me fat--I did that! I own at least 100 diet books so I should know how to diet. I do! Just don't like it! But recently I've had a health concern or two so have turned to the Atkins diet. Years ago, during a radio career, I interviewed Dr. Atkins and was fascinated by his theories. But over the years I tried the plan several times and could not get my body to go into dietary ketosis(where one's body actually burns its own fat!). I am a carb addict so eating mostly protein has never been easy for me. This time seems different! Have only been on the plan 6 days and am doing VERY well! We'll see if this continues or if I get desperate and eat something bad (like, say, a truck full of Hershey bars!). Am VERY hopeful!
