| Mary's Journey in Pictures | ||||||||||||||||||
| My name is Mary. I grew up in Upstate New York in the 50's and 60's from great parents and seven fantastic brothers (all older). Compulsive eating has been an issue nearly my whole life. I started the Atkins Nutritional Approach January 22, 2001. I used the Bulletin Boards at www.LowCarbFriends.com for my support system. On December 23, 2003, I joined Greysheeters Anonymous 12 step program for carb sensitive folks (www.greysheet.org) and it is helping me find peace and a feeling of freedom from compulsive overeating. Today my blood sugars are 83, Total Cholesterol 138, Blood pressure 110/65. Sleep apnea is gone. I am grateful today for the blessings given to me. | ||||||||||||||||||
