    Still hangin' in

    Hi everyone, I've been taking a bit of a break. The funny thing is I'm still 90% Atkins. The time I have spent relaxing a bit has just confirmed that this WOE is becoming a WOL for me. I have not so much fallen off the wagon as just taken some time to walk beside it for a while. I'm going though a transition from "Diet" mentality to "WOL" mentality. I like this WOL and I feel best when I follow it. I also have discovered that I really don't like a lot of the old foods anymore. When I'm ready to buckle down again I know it will be easier this time. I find that everyday I am easing more and more back into extended induction.
    Michelle,

      Hi :wave :wave

      Good for you. I know what you mean..exactly what you mean, as a matter of fact.

      I finally finished cleaning and moving all my furniture in so now I feel like I can concentrate on cooking and eating what I know I should be eating. It is just hard some times.

      Hope to read all about your comings and goings :hug

        Glad you're doing so well, Michelle. When I take a break, man, I fall on my face! Wish I had the same determination.

                Well I got up this AM, and decided enough farting around. I stepped on the scale, took my measurements, poured a glass of water, and signed on. I'm back on the straight and narrow as of today!!
