It has now been one week since I started the Atkins progran. So far I've lost 3 lbs - even though I cheated a little on Monday.

But it was a good cheat because I learned a HUGE lesson. Since Wed (and even thru Valentine's day with lots of sweets around) I mananged to not cheat and not even really have major cravings. On Monday though I took my son to the movies and he wanted a pretzel and I ate a few bites of it. I knew I should have ate something before I went and I still find it funny that I cheat by eating a pretzel and not anything sweet. But all day Monday I had MAJOR cravings !! It was the weirdes thing I couldn't believe it - I had to fight them hard to not cheat again, but I'm proud to say I didn't. And then Tuesday I was feeling SO much better - no more cheating for me!!!

great! No one can be perfect, but if every time you slip, you learn something, then it's ALL forward progress! good going!
