So, Atkins was pretty successful in the first week. I dropped 3lbs and about an inch all around, but I'm not happy with what I'm eating.

The other day, at a small service for my aunt, a friend of hers noticed that I wasn't eating anything, and she asked why, I explained about the Atkins. And she said, "Why Atkins?" It turns out she's not only an RN, but also a dietician/nutritionist. She gave me a lecture about how Atkins is great for short-term weight loss, but most...

I have never been the kind of person who can take things as they come, know that I'm working as hard as I can, and accept it. I'm the person who wants to make things happen, get things done, and feel better.

My emotions are far more fragile than usual for the time being, and I find myself at a loss in their shift in delicacy... I feel as though I'm trying to push beyond that mental fog that clouds ones rationale to look beyond these feelings that I cannot quite comprehend nor conjure an explanation for. It leaves me wondering if this is just another curve ball that this horrid PCOS-thing has thrown my way as if it were the wicked witch from the west bestowing a spell of misery upon me for amusement....
