    just another update!!!

    hi again,

    just thought id give another update, what am i on now....day 25 i think and im still finding this so easy. i dont know whats going on in my head but i can honestly say i have not thought about cheating at all in all this time. i know i still have a long way to go but im overjoyed with my attitude toward this.

    as some of you know im working in holland away from my wife and son and can remember what i weighed just after new years but havent been on the scales since and wont till i go home (a day earlier !!! yes) on saturday march 1st.

    im eating 3 meals a day and more water than i can drink!! with the odd slice of cheese if i get hungry, i can really tell a difference looking in the mirror and hopefully my wife will too.

    thanks for your time

    mike

    Weigh to go, Mike!
    Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?

      Mike when you get home and weigh maybe your wife could take some pictures to post and you could start a ticker... they are wonderful visual tools. Keep Up the great work!!

            What I know:
            1-Atkins WOE/WOL plan works
            2-I need to always work on the behaviors and triggers that make me over eat.
            3-Atkins WOL is part of the puzzle, but is not the entire thing.
            4-Self-deprecation only feeds our inner ego and not in a good way.

                Mike - so proud for you and soooo very excited that you get to go home tomorrow and spend some wonderful quality time with your family --- have lots of fun you deserve it ((PS - don't let your wife monopolize all your time now that you are looking even better than ever... even if you might be tempted make sure to spend lots of time with your son as well ))

                              not so good. been out with the lads and had a pizza just because ive had a drink. eating it even though i dont really want too but will be extra strict tomorrow and beyond.

                              its strange how ive lost 26 lbs in 6 weeks but have just eaten something im not allowed???? im ashamed but will just have too put it behind me and carry on.

                              sorry for letting myself down cant believe what ive done gutted!!

                              thanks
