Hi!
I've been in recovery from opiates for almost 8 months now, and am doing pretty well with that process, so a couple of weeks ago I decided to tackle the weight I'd gained during the past 5 years. Since I'm pre-diabetic, my doctor recommended Atkins, which is good for stabilizing blood sugar, avoiding sugar. I began it 17 days ago and the weight is just falling off, almost painlessly. No cravings, no crankiness, feeling great. I didn't cheat at all, either. And 15 pounds has slid right off. I'm 1/2 way to goal.
So no problem, right? Well, I'm seriously wanting to take a day off of the diet for Thanksgiving. Just eat what I want for one day. What would that do, does anyone know? What are the pros and cons about doing that tomorrow? Thanks for you input in advance!

All my blood tests came back
First...all I know about the DUI thing is that blood came back a .01.
Basically, I have Stage 2 Hypertension (at age 33!) I'm on some strong medication and I have to get very, very serious about losing weight. They're recommending 100 pounds!!! Atkins and exercise here I come.
I'm borderline Type 1 Diabetes. Again, can be controlled by massive weight loss.
My liver functions came back normal. Can you imagine? After all the drinking I did, I only inflamed my liver; no fatty, no cirrohsis. She said it would be perfectly back to normal in 3-4 months. I really dodged a bullet here.
My kidneys, electrolytes, and pancreas are all operating within normal functions.
Basically, The HP saved me. No more alcohol ever again. Despite what the cops say, I have been sober since January and my body is coming back together.
In the midst of my craziness, there was some good news this week.
Thanks SR!
