Weekend Success

[HarlemUSA]

For me weekends have alway represented a license to 'runamuck' before Atkins, however in the past 47 days I have successfully got through the weekend having made the right choices. Low carbing is much easier during the week when your day is filled with work and other activities. On the weekend you really have to make a conscious effort to do the right thing. I'm proud to say that I successfully got through the weekend making the right food choices and now on to Monday. I wish you all much success.

Harlem Congratulations 47 days is Awesome.
I am the same way with weekends but not this time so far I have been able to handle them with little trouble I even went to Mc Donalds on Saturday and was able to only order a salad and double cheeseburger that I ate without the bum Mmmm it was so good and it felt great.
During the week we normally shop or pick up afew things in the town about 10 min away but most weekends we go into the city to do some shopping and eat at a restaurant and I had been fighting with myself on the way to the city (its a 45-60 min drive) about if I was going to eat ate Mc Donalds were I knew I could stick to my new WOL or to the chinese Buffet were I knew I would slip and to be honest I wanted the chinese but then I started talking to DH about my inner fight and he talked it through with me and I ended up feeling realy empowered and pumped up by the time we got into the city and the choice was easy I stuck to my WOL Yay ! Man it felt great DH is such a great support to me.
It feels great to have to self control again.

Way to go Harlem and Ante! Weekends were always hard for me too. The convenience of 'ah what the heck let's go out and eat' came to easily for me in the past. Now I just have to be sure to go to places where I know it will be easier for me to choose low carb. Keep up the good work!

Re: Weekend Success

way to go!!! For me the weekends are hard because my friends are all drinking. There's wine at dinner, beer at happy hour, beer at the football games, etc... So yeah, it's much more difficult to manage. Every weekend that I make it through I feel like i've accomplished something big!
