I have been away for quite a while having another baby. My little doll baby Rachel is now five months old, and I am ready to get back on the Atkins track.

I was very happy to see that I am starting out two pound less then when I stopped, even after having a baby and I am still breastfeeding.

I am excited that the scale is going down instead of up.


Have a super day.


Cyndi

You will be back into the swing of things in no time.

Wishing you all the success.

Dear Cyndi, Welcome Back! and Congratulations on your baby daughter.
I have a poem I'l like to share with with you as small gift to your children.... I sung it ever so often to my little ones who are now 26 and 28 years old! And they still like to sing it to them!
Goodnight Kiss
by Steve and Annie Chapman

I count it as a privilege; I count it cause for praise
to kiss my children goodnight at the close of everyday.
For I know too soon they're gone and walking out the door.
And I'll never have a child to kiss goodnight any more.

It's strange how times have changed from the present to the past.
When did they grow so quickly the time has flown so fast.

For it seems like only yesterday I helped him with his shirt,
or pat my baby on the back, or kissed away a hurt.
Tell a story, read a book, wipe a nose, or tie a shoe.
They never ask me to rub their backs the way they used to do.
Once it was a bother, just a troublesome kind of chore.
But now I would give anything to do it just once more.
Mommy, bounce me on your knee. Daddy, flip me in the air.
Throw a rubber ball to me and help me comb my hair.
Mommy, tickle my tummy... Daddy, hold me high.
Let's go outside, for a while, or make a kite to fly...
I count it as a privilege; I count it cause for praise
To kiss my children goodnight at the close of everyday.
For I know too soon they're gone and walking out the door.
And I'll never have a child to kiss Goodnight anymore!


Take Care Cyndi.... and kisses good night,

~Pam

Thank you ladies, it is really great to read your encouraging messages!!

I look forward to the support here and am trying to stay focused on the real important things and not so worried about food.

Pam, that poem is just so perfect, and so true. I can't believe that my oldest baby is already 17!! Thank you for sharing it with me, I will have to copy it down to keep in Rachel's baby book.

Good luck to you all and may we all achieve our goals and stay true to ourselves.

Take care, Cyndi
