I am a 48 year old woman who has decided to take back the control of my life. I am a married woman of 13 years, and the mother of six children, four of whom live at home. This past year found my 28 and 27 year old sons moving back in, the 27 year old with my 2 year old granddaughter. My 17 year old daughter, and 12 year old son are still at home also.
I was on Atkins in 2001 and went from over 300 pounds to 154. Then my now 16 year old daughter went through some major issues (she has bipolar and is non medication compliant) and my husband has some medical issues that have time-consuming. In between all of this, I work full time, and somehow lost myself in the process.
I have been unhappy since the new year, and have decided to take back my life. Atkins, the gym, and the feelings I get are coming back... to stay this time.
