A Little Bit About Me!

I'm 51 years old. I live in Maine and am recently divorced.  I live with my two cats, Terror and Pumpkin.  I have 3 children from a previous marriage, a daughter age 23, a son age 25, and my oldest daughter, now 28, is married and lives in Missouri with her military husband and their two children, ages 8 years and 5 months.

In 2001 I was laid off from my job of 8 years as a Computer Help Desk technician. So then I went back to school for about a year to study computer networking.  After deciding that wasn't the field for me, I went to work for two years in a call center as a customer service rep for one of the leading cell phone providers.  Currently I am a volunteer driver for a state agency and transport clients to hospitals, doctor appoints, court hearings, and visitations. 

I have to admit that I fell off the lowcarb wagon a couple of years ago.  The fall started slow at first ... eating a few things off plan a few days a week, then it became a daily thing.  Eventually lowcarb went out the window and so did the weight loss!  I gained back 30 lbs of what I had lost.  I tried unsuccessfuly a few times to climb back on the wagon, but kept falling off due to a lack of motivation. 

Last year I had a lot of changes that hit me with a hard blow ... a divorce, relocating to a different town, the death of my younger brother from cancer, and the loss of some dear friendships through the divorce.  All of these situations combined put me into a deep depression and caused me to seek help for the depression and anxiety.  But through it all, I managed to quit smoking and have been smoke free for 10 months!  I'm happy to say that I went back to lowcarbing a week ago and I'm determined to lose it again!  I have a good start ... 6 lbs gone in my first week!  Lowcarb is the only way for me.  And it is a lifestyle ... you can't go back to old eating habits and expect to keep the weight off. 

A big part of my original success was visiting the LowCarbFriends.com website every day! (see link below). I also enjoy dancing, 4-wheeling, watching movies, and reading/writing.
