Howdy, y'all! I'd like to join this great attitude/gratitude thread, because it helps me stay focused when I call to mind what I'm thankful for. I'm a 58 y.o. retired physician, artist & writer, married with no kids. Workin' hard toward a projected weight loss of 220 pounds, though it may end up being less than that, depending on how I feel when I get close to my goal.
Grateful for:
—my wonderful Belgian friend Robine, with whom I correspond by email in French
—my sweet husband, who's supportive of everything I do
—the fact that on the Atkins diet, I can eat all the food I want without having to count anything, so long as it's the right food, of course
—my 51 lb. lost so far
—the leaves of scarlet, gold & orange in our yard
—my books, iPad & stereo
—the 3 Fat Chicks community, where I'm starting to feel at home
Today I'm grateful
-for this thread!
-for coffee
-for nailing this hula hoop trick I've been working on and for having discovered hoop dance in the first place! It's given me so much confidence.
-for being a college student and have the opportunity to expand my mind so much.
-for being in the middle of a really cool book series.
-for having such a kick *** family. My mom and dad saw me doing so well with my new way of eating that they've decided to try it, although my dad keeps getting it mixed up with Atkins and asking me if he's supposed to avoid fruit for 14 days, even though I gave him the Primal Blueprint book. :P
