are you finding comfort in Atkins?

I have noticed that I am finding something comfortable about living like this...I honestly can't explain it...but it's almost like it fits me like a glove...

I know what you mean. I think for me, it has to do with control. I finally have control over the food, the food DOES NOT control *me* anymore. I don't constantly think about meals and I don't have cravings. This is month 8 for me, and it's really becoming a way of life, or second nature. I don't even have to remind myself or conciously think about making the right choices. I just do it.

I am loving it. This is actually my 3rd time around for Atkins.
My first time I did it for 8 mos and lost over 50 lbs and lost my way with holidays and a surgery. I tried to restart a 4 months and 20lbs later and couldn't wrap my head around it. So I turned back to WW's but I could never stay with it because it gave me way too many choices and even a little bit would send me into a binge but I couldn't say no to the cravings. So I have a total regain of 40 lbs now. ugh

My mom and I decided last Sunday to give Atkins a go again and we went shopping and split the food. We both have done well our first week...I have been averaging a lb a day. Could never lose that much on WW's and I didn't feel as good as I feel on Atkins.

I haven't had any flu this time around, but then again I had some Chronic fatigue going on before starting Atkins again and I have found that within 3 days of Induction I have had more energy. lol

It just feels great...you know everyone has ups and downs and if you can stick thru a few hiccups, here and there, and gut it out "til tomorrow" things pretty much stay good...I've been here like Juli, 8 months, and it can be done in good times and bad! I'm here to tell ya!
I LOVE ATKINS
