I'm back... Day 1

[shoepk]

I had success on this diet last summer then went back to college (you have no idea how hard it is to do this diet at college). Well needless to say I quit it. Well I started it again this summer then went on vacation for a week and everything went to ****. So, this is my third time (third times a charm right?). I am 5'8 and only have about 20 pounds to lose, but I think atkins is the best way to go for me. This is my first day back and so far I've had 2 eggs with 1 piece of cheese melted over them. I could really use some support because it's hard to come back after eating pretty much anything for the last week. Please help

Hiya and welcome back! Sounds like you had a good breakfast. Make sure to spread your carbs over the rest of the day.

Are you drinking your water? Plans for any exercise today? If you can't do both, do the water. Need to flush out those carb toxins to get into ketosis.

We've got a great sticky with advice for second timers - check it out!

And, of course, keep checking in today and all days, it really keeps you focussed and motivated, in my experience!

Re: I'm back... Day 1

There are many legal sweet things you can have (when its time) and in moderation (ahem)
You need not feel deprived on this woe (way of eating) ever! You are in good company here!

All good advise, so good that I have absolutely nothing to add except

Welcome to STAC!!

Re: I'm back... Day 1

The folks above said it all, so just want to welcome you to STAC and say how glad we are that you found us.
Its all in the planning I think. I loved Brooks earlier post where she said to fill the refrig up with legal snacks so they are easy to grab when the "snack attack" happens. I tried it and it really works.
Maybe before you go back to college we will have a list of food that you can take with you
