hi there,

I have struggled with atkins also for the last couple of months on and off. haven't yet seen any results because I keep self sabotaging myself. I should not weigh myself because that step alone causes me to breakdown.

I have a 'tendency' to binge as well...more often than not unfortunately. my purging happens at the gym, it's amazing how guilt can accelerate that treadmill.

mimosa and betsy, I feel and understand your pain

feel free to pop into my journal anytime, it's not very long, but I like to express my thoughts in there more than adding my menus.

sending you all happy LC thoughts and sss

Cathie- I feel like im going through the exact same thing as you. I started atkins a few weeks ago and cheated and I felt so depressed and angry with myself. I go to the gym 5 days a week and I was doing so good. I LOVE ice cream & chocolate so much and I couldnt resist! But Im trying again and Im on day 4, going strong! I just need to get through the induction phase so I can add carbs back in. I was wondering if you know much about the CAD diet and if you could explain it to me? That would be awesome. Well I have to go eat lunch (chicken ceasar salad! YUM!) Have a good day
