Hi everyone:

It's been quite a few years since I've done Atkins (amusingly now known as "The Ketosis Diet" - er... Atkins a dirty word now?) and despite trying loads of stuff under the sun, I keep gaining back to around 300 lbs.

Right now, I'm working on trying to get back some willpower to get back to Atkins, but I have a few things I'm fighting against and I'm not sure how to manage them:

1) husband and housemates who love bread and treats. The housemate is really nervous about dieting in general (bad childhood) and so I can't really discuss things with her without causing some latent PTSD to erupt.

2) I have a toddler whose favorite food is generally of the carbohydrate variety. I do want to steer her toward more balance, but as she's only 2, I still want to make her toast and pancakes and give her yogurt. I also greatly enjoy baking for her. I know some of that needs to change, but I'm not sure how to wrap my head around it yet.

3) We're TTC and while I understand that ketosis and pregnancy aren't mutually exclusive, I'm worried about not having the willpower necessary to maintain it once I'm pregnant.

I'm just looking for some advice and support about how to juggle all these roadblocks in my head, and figure out how to restart this in a life that doesn't allow me to create a clean environment and avoid temptation.
