    Avoided Temptation

    Hi All:

    I had an experience today that I would like to share. I have been in induction now for 17 days now and love the results!

    My oldest daughter (very peitite) who is 16 and 92 pounds enjoys Baker's Square cherry pie. I went into the nearby Bakers' Square to buy a pie for her. They have a pie of the month and during the month of May the pie of the month is a Hawaiian Strawberry pie with custard, pecans, pineapple, strawberry and it has been a favorite of mine for 20 years. Anyway, the clerk indicated that they had ordered to many of them and they were giving each patron the pie of the month with a purchase. I just laughed and knew that my will power was being challenged. I took the pie and took it to my office for the staff to enjoy....never had a piece, the thought never entered my mind.

    I have a Atkins friendly cheesecake in the fridge for those moments of sweet needs. This is the first time that I can remember not cheating on a diet. I'm so motivated and see that this diet works if you follow it....and cheating on the diet, is actually cheating yourself!

    Just thought I share. Happy losing to all.

    Rose

            Well done, Rose
            Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
            Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!



            Check out our Low Carb Recipes website and add to it!!

                        Great job Rose!! You and I probably started Atkins around the same time....I have had the same reaction too! I go and buy the rest of my family pizza, chips, candy and ice cream...and I NEVER have the thought of cheating enter my mind! I feel like theres a lot I can eat on this diet that I dont need to cheat! The only time I get weak is at restraunts and the movies....so from now on a date with my loved one will be hiking and cauliflower pizza! hahahahah! CONGRATS ON THE LOSS!!!!

                          Good for you to have the willpower to not cheat when at the movies or restaurant. I was out shopping with my family on Sunday and they have a Cheesecake factory at the mall and there food is wonderful and of course Cheesecake is to die for. I told my kids and husband that they could go and I would shop, because I wasn't going to put myself in the position to be tempted. They supported me and we ended up going home to eat...some devine cabbage that my husband made with onions and bacon.

                          It is amazing the weight that you can lose on this diet. I really don't feel that I'm scarificing now....I did have to change my eating habits, but I need to do that anyway.....too many sweets and not much exercise. I'm healthier now...

                          Best wishes to you,
                          Rose
