Hi...i joined last week. I am loving these blogs. I am glad you are making a good choice and re-wiring your thoughts. I too come from a similar family. It is a battle and life style change....easier said then done. I have cravings...I have to work at. I am hoping this helps me stay accountable. My sis lost 40 lbs....here....she is Keto (8 years younger then me)...which is similar as atkins. I also listen to lots of podcasts...to retrain my brain....food is fuel....and really medicine....it prevents/lowers health problems....Best of Luck...and beautiful baby
