Getting motivated ...& Re: to Atkins and Feeling lonely (sorry so long)From: Lauree (anonymous@obgyn.net)Mon, 5 Nov 2001 11:59:06 -0600 (CST)
Hello Ladies. Thank you Renee for you post and concern about the Atkins. I have heard also that It might be more harmful then good. But If you watch what you eat and limit the fats that you know that are not good for you, you can suceed on this diet. I eat very little red Meat and when I do The grease is all drained or the meat is grilled, broiled or boiled. I do eat ALOT of chicken and turkey and salad vegetables. The only thing I am not getting is the fruit. But I have found an ulternative to that and it is called Fruit 2 O regular and the plus. So that cuts that need for fruit. You just have to follow your heart on this one is all. For all you out there that feel lonely..........Do not be! Yeah it is nice to have a man around for cuddling and support but sometimes that is not the case. They may be at first but all the affection sooner or later dwindles alittle. I have been married twice both where affectionate but I missed my freedom too. Married now with DH # 2 He is more demanding on himself with what he needs and wants. I have to put my foot down and become the wicked witch of the west if I want free time for me (to shave the legs, pluke the chin, ect. ect). YOU HAVE to like yourself first before someone else can accept you. YEah you might have chin hair and hairy legs and some chest hairs but that is not who you are in the inside. I did not have dates in high school or go to prom or dances but ya know what I am stronger for being who I AM. I have more male friends then female, I do not know how this happened but In a sense I like it. I grew up with all boys(6 of them!) So I am somewhat of a tomboy or you can say tomwoman now. But what I have learned in the last 13 years is when you are happy with who you are on the inside and take care of the outside to the best you can then that love will come. You will not find it sitting around waiting. Get the butts moving...dress up, make yourself look presentable and go out with the girls to a club and have fun within yourself and with the girls. You will be surprised to see what happens. A little story here to boost you. My cousin Jen is a heavy girl pushing 300lbs. She always mooped and did not want to go out well I convienced her one day and we got all dressed up and went to a club. I having a couple drinks do not care what anyone thinks either way had a good time dancing and so did she and before the end of the night low and behold she was asked to dance a slow song. By a cute skinny guy. He told her she had the most beautiful warm eyes he had ever seen. Hmmm Makes you wonder what he wanted and not even 5 months later they got married! I believe she has pcos too but she will not go and get checked. She is happy with who she is although carring the extra pounds but that does not slow her down at all. And she is short! It is the way you carry yourself around others that attracts them too you. If you look unhappy others will tend to shy away from you! I have been there. When I stopped carring what others thought about me I became a better person all around. Sure I care what others think but everyone has some kind of problem with life and themselves. All of you have been my hope and have motivated me! I read all the posts that come in my email and some are depressing and some are hopeful. A couple weeks ago I wanted to give up and just stay fat! I lost my ob/gyn because of my medical did not cover it and then got layed off in the same week. My DH can be a butt cheese sometimes (more so lately) and I was ready to pack up and be on my own. But I found more pcos sites and read tons of posts> some sad some hopefull and some just tearfull as can be. Being heavy is just an obstical just like having to drive around a construction site. Once you are through it you can go on your way. Doctors are not sypothetic this I know all to well. Been to enough in the last 2 years....infact one was right down mean! You donot need them kind of people in your life or to assist you with what is wrong. There are plenty people out there that accept you for WHO you are! And are willing to help you if you help yourself with them. No one is perfect!!!! Not even them skinny models or actress on TV. They all have problems most with drug problems because they have so much money they do not know what to do with it! And they jump from one bed to another thinking it is the greatest thing in the world because they can then the following week they may end up in the health clinic with some strain of VD. Be happy with yourself. Change what you do not like. Right down what you like about you and then what you do not like and then compare and change the part you do not like. Have Hope! We have each other! (email me if you want to scream or vent! You all have given me so much hope that if there is anything I can do and can help I will.)
