Great job Bill! This is the first time I've seen your 'before' picture! Congrats on your success, and most of all, congrats on your continued maintenance. It seems that is the hardest journey of all for most of us!
Maintenance IS the hardest. Gotta get the mindset that it's not a diet (that one can go off of, or "cheat" on); it's a way of eating for the rest of one's life! When I forget that, I pay the penalty and then back to induction. Got real serious with it again at the beginning of last Lent and it's been smooth sailing since.

ReplyDeleteyeah, 2001 seems about right - I met you that year. But it wasn't too long before "Atkins" appeared in almost every conversation.

Jimbo,
What's this "almost"? :)
Around 2004-5, once or twice I even thought you had stopped the diet because you didn't mention anything about it that visit!
ReplyDeletethus, "almost"
