    Re: Day 1......

    yes you will make it. no one ever died from NOT eating cookies and candy. screaming might help but........better yet, grab a legal snack and eat along with them. i'd suggest taking along some goodies to work so that you have something to nibble when the sweets come out. i work at an elementary school and there is ALWAYS loads of unhealthy junk laying around our staff lounge and the principal makes it known that he has loads of chocolate on his desk in the event of an emergency.....just stop and remind yourself WHY you are doing this....and you won't want it after all.

      don't worry, you are NOT ALONE!!! On saturdays and sundays i have to sit in a room and sell cookies and candy and doughnuts and chips and ice cream to my fellow sailors (i am in the military and have a once a week duty selling goodies to everyone) and the bad part is, is for that 12 hours i am at work, i can have all of that for free!!!! it is horrible. everyone comes in and buys all of these goodies and i will just sit and look at them!!! that was my last downfall before starting atkins (3 days ago). i spent my last day that i worked there eating goodies ALL DAY! so don't worry, you can resist!!! look up "induction friendly desserts" in the recipe section. i just found induction friendly cookies and i am definetely going to make some tonight! that will definetely help! plus, i cut out the caffeine and asparatame found in diet cokes and that definetely helps the cravings!!! good luck and write if you ever need to! we are here to help!!!

        Its gonna be ok! I agree with taking your own atkins friendly snacks with you. I had the same problem when I did atkins the 1st time, seemed like everyone at work was coming in with fastfood or they were having various potlucks, etc. I just had to remember that cheating would make me feel bad, and that cookie wouldn't be worth it. As of Monday, I started carrying a picture of myself(not a flattering one I might add) and one of my son, and I pull them out and look at them when I need a reminder of why I'm doing this. You can do it!!!

          whoa You are one strong person! I've been really good so far no cheating but that would be torture.

          and logansmom04 you'll be amazed at how much you don't want that kind of thing once you get rolling. Sometimes splenda is too sweet for me. It's like BLEH! I think I'd go into a coma if I ate a cookie.
          That was my motivational speech sorry it's late. hehe

          nice idea with the picture Michelle. If anything would keep me on track that would be it.

            I think I know how you feel and some, you see I work part time in a newsagents and of course we sell chocolate, crisps, sweets and literally everything I cannot have, in fact the only thing we sell that I can have is water! Can you imagine how relieved I am today that I don't have to go to work!

            What keeps me going is the fact that I know that soon my tastes will have changed sufficiently that I won't feel the pull any longer and that's why it's so important to keep at it for these two weeks at least, keep strong
