    I'm so overjoyed!

    Tonight I went out to my favorite diner to meet up with some friends. And I was a good girl and stuck to a chef salad with ranch dressing and a water. I haven't touched coffee since I started this WOE! Which I guess I can say is my first little victory. My friends finally got there and the first comment my one friend said was "You can tell you're losing weight... your face is really starting to thin out!" I was so ecstatic! I was almost crying because of the immense happiness I was feeling that it's starting to be noticed! I still have a long way to go... but that just made me feel like a million bucks!

              And just wait till a friend you havent seen since 'Before Atkins' walks past you without recognising you!!
              Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
              Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

                      What great encouragement! It is always so much fun to surprise people with your progress. They'll notice something different..."you look really good! Have you done something with your hair? Is that a new outfit??" What a GREAT feeling!

                      Keep up the good work!

                        Re: I'm so overjoyed!

                        That's awesome!

                        I am very proud of you (as a fellow CC member) that you have given up coffee!

                        So many people have a problem with that because it's so addictive!

                        There should be a ADBB medal for giving up coffee and you should get it!

                        Those comments will be the start of you regaining your confidence, and more importantly your 'hope'!

                        Awesome!

                              Giving up coffe was harder than giving up anything else... I really had the waiters baffled when they brought me coffee and I asked for a water instead! Hehehehe.

                              You guys made me blush when I was reading all of your replies! It added to the happiness I already had. I feel like dancing around in pure joy!
