Yucka...I think I got the flu!

[Anlhess]

I wokeup this am feeling like absolute crap! My head hurts,I feel nauseous and I just plain don't feel like eating... or doing anything for that matter besides sleeping. I didn't feel like this last time around so I didn't understand what others were talking about when they said they had it. The funny thing is I have been even better this time than I was last time.....I haven't even THOUGHT of cheating.... I walked through WEgmans Bakery last night and didn't even harbor the idea of buying a loaf of bread.....although right this second that sounds goood. SO I guess my solution until I get past this is to not leave the carb free comforts of my home to a place where I will be tempted to buy tastycakes and cheese bread. How did everyone else deal with this besides taking headache stuff and crawling back into bed?

Awww... that's just induction flu! Your body is switching from a carb-burning machine into a fat-burning one. You'll feel badly now, but in a couple of days you'll never have felt better!

Hang tough Anlhess this will pass and Cleo is right. You will feel great!

If you can just crawl in bed and sleep it off this weekend, treat your self gently to get thru ....... I do reccomend drinking as much water as you can though to help flush the remaining crap outta your body. (no pun intended)

LOL I blamed it all on my 24 can a day DIET COKE addiciton and didn't even know there was something called Atkins flu till i got online

just keep eating and drinking and know you are going to be a healtheir smaller person tomorrow and all the days to come and you will be meeting those goals you set for yourself. Just Imagine that date you got in Jan and all the broken jaws ( thats from them hitting the floor in awe of your smaller healthier body)

I am going to run to the store ... I need to refill my 3 gallon water jug , guess I have been drinking a gallon a day! and then I am coming home putting on comfy PJ's and I am gonna read books and watch movies to my little hearts content!!!
