  • i gotta tell ya, people, it's great to be free

    my wife eats totally different than i'm allowed to on Atkins. She is health conscious, but just goes about it a different way than i do. she has "cheat" days and thats ok for her way of eating. she works out hard, regularly and her figure shows it.

    anyway, tonight, while i was making myself dinner, she made a batch of fresh chocolate chip cookies. i'm happy to say STAC members, that not only did i not eat one... but those cookies stared me right in the face and not once did i feel i needed to eat one of them. when i go to bed tonight, i will have completed 4 weeks of Atkins and i can certainly tell you, prior to starting back up... there is no doubt that i would have sat down and ate at least 6 of those cookies. i'm truely amazed at myself for that accomplishment alone.

    i didn't weigh in when i started this WOE, instead, i weighed in at my 2 week mark... i weigh in again tomorrow. so as of right now, i don't know what my progress yeilds... but what i typed above has to mean something positive is happening in my mind and body.

    That is a wonderful testament to your commitment to yourself! There isn't one thing in those cookies that you need, and I'm very proud of you for leaving them stare at you without giving in. Every battle won is one less you need to fight, and winning is the best feeling in the world! Keep it up!

        Well done Dan!

        That was a great achievement no matter what the scales tell you tomorrow
