I have been doing Atkins for seven days now, today is the eigth..
My first week done. :dazzle:
I have had salad seven days in a row! This is more salad that I have had in probably at least the last year or more!!
WOW! and it is doable and eatable and I don't feel like I am forcing myself to do something I don't want to do.
I am amazed and feel really good about this.
Even spending the weekend with parents and family (one of the places I learned my eating habits...) I managed to stay on the plan. This feels really good.
Late Sat night, after a 13 hour day, and not being able to sleep, it was about 3 am and I wanted to binge, oh, I wanted carbs, so I went downstairs to the kitchen I grew up in, got out a can of Diet rite (a treat for the weekend) and 2 low carb bars, and some olives, and that was enough to allow me to relax and get to sleep. I had also been too low on food and carbs that day. I should have eaten more!
So, it was a good solution to the stress and the carb cravings. maybe not the best, but better than bingeing on chips and cookies. and my mother makes these homemade chocolate chip cookies with pecans or black walnuts in them that are to die for!!!
Better yet! this morning I hate half a low carb bar and found it was TOO sweet :yay: :yay:
who'd a thunk it!?!?
the biggest thing I have to remember to do to keep cravings at bay is to eat enough at regular enough intervals.
Thanks for all the encouragement!
