I have an event that happened when I was in the first grade (yes, FIRST grade, mind you) that has haunted me for years. And I'm not really sure why. It's one of my MOST vivid memories of my childhood.

Admit it. It crossed your mind to think that a mandatory burka would cover a multitude of figure flaws, didn't it? Did you ever consider joining a convent just for the baggy robe, just as a way to give up on trying to look good?

My quest for beauty stems from the fact that my grandmother's valuation of my worth was based on my looks, i.e., I was fat and that was unacceptable for a good, young Southern lady (I was 5), whose figure should match her manners and politesse--whose figure and manners and politesse should be used for the catching of a husband.

Welcome to Delilah's Mirror! I've used the low carb life to shed nearly 150 pounds, and while I'm not at goal, I'd like to share my story. I have discovered in my online low carb travels and in talking to people who are overweight, that my story is quite the norm and not even close to an exception.

Maehing is from South Carolina and is 32 years old. She has followed the Atkins way of life since November 1, 2000. Maehing has gone from 264 pounds to just 8 pounds from her goal weight, now weighing in at 178. She has dropped from a size 22 to a 12.

Jamie C. is 42 years old, and had been overweight her entire life. She grew up in a family of thin people. The only exception of her mother, who had also been heavy her whole life. Her sister was five years older than Jamie, and although she was thin, Jamie didn't remember her being mean or saying bad things to her about her weight.

Lisa is 35, and has been on the Atkins program since January 10, 2000. She has lost 87 pounds and gone from a size 30/32 to a 16! She is still going strong on the way to her goal size of a 10.
