Yea me!!

[DebbieY]

I did great for 6 months and then I cheated off and on for 2 months or so. After that first cheat, it was just so hard for me to get back on Atkins.

I have been cheat free since last Wednesday (almost 2 weeks now). We just took our daughter to the fair yesterday. Have to say that I was tempted, BUT I didn't get anything!! Turned down the cotton candy, funnel cakes, kettle corn, ....

So, I'm a bit proud of myself right now, especially since I'm still having the sugar cravings. Just thought I'd pat myself on the back. (Smile)

Great job!!!!

Thanks. Actually, I've never had a funnel cake, but I've heard such great things about it. I think it was harder to turn down than any of the others since I love to try new things.

Re: Yea me!!

Oh, wow, funnel cake. Just thinking about it is giving me cravings haha. I havent had any since I went to IHOP in July!

Well done though, not giving into temptation! I almost cried this evening, serving my family chocolate syrup pudding, and I had nothing lol

Re: Yea me!!

Good job!
Last fall I went to the PNE in Vancouver, B.C., and I was apalled at how much crap they had for sale!!! I was able to have a sausage and saurkraut bun(tossed the bun of course) but that was about it!
I just kept thinking 'empty calories, empty calories!!' and I held out till we were on our way home and stopped for dinner....and then I had a spinach salad and dry ribs...oh it was good!

I think about pre-Atkins, and I would have spent most of my time in the food area of the fair...it freaks me out to think what I would have eaten!

Re: Yea me!!

Good for you Debbie, fairs are hard, cause they're surrounding and based on junk food. Every summer DH & I go to the Stampede, and work our way around the grounds by eating junk food. This year we made a conscious decision not to go, and instead we took that money, and used it for a couple of nice dinners when we were on vacation. Congrats for sticking on plan throughout this ordeal! Takes alot of determination and will power!

Re: Yea me!!

Good job! And what pretty pictures!! It is funny but whenever I resist tempation I always expect some kind of magical loss the next day for being so good...which does not always happen. Congrats for getting back on track...I know it is not easy!

Yeah, I do the same thing. Almost feel like you had to work harder that day, so you should be rewarded. (Smile)
