So... where is the chat room and how do I get there?

Today is the day. I officially start Atkins today. It seems to be perfect for the island. There really are few fresh vegetables and fruit available and meat is the main staple anyway. I know I'm understating the plan but this should work. Or to follow JudyB's philosophy, I can try to prove it won't work.

One thing I have to do is put up recent pictures of myself. Believe it or not I really have no idea what I look like until I see the pictures. When I saw pictures of myself from the Australia trip I was amazed at how awful I look. It's funny how that can sneak up on a person. I see fat people out and about and think, I never want to look like that. Then I see the pictures and realize I already do!

So today it begins. I brought in all the carbohydrate rich foods from my cupboard and left them out on the table with a sign saying "Free Food". I had a ham and cheese omelette with bacon and sausages for breakfast. I'm not sure what I can find for lunch but that is a bridge I have yet to cross.
