You all can definitely do it!! I have fallen off the wagon WAY too many times over the years, but getting back to low-carb again repeatedly afterwards is probably the only reason I did not develop diabetes.

Now, I find it helps me to be mindful of eating enough fat and savory foods. I recall Dr. Atkins wrote about eating luxuriously, enjoying butter and macadamia nuts, etc. It also helps me to focus on the favorite things I CAN eat, like bacon and pork chops. Recently, a friend at work spoke every day for a solid week about a new ice cream flavor. In the old days, I would have felt compelled to try (in mass quantities) that flavor. This time, when she talked, I would just think “I would rather have a rib-eye.”
