and I need help guys. I had to have an emergency heart cath about 1 month ago, and since then, I have felt very tired and sluggish. I have lost 40 pounds so far and have stalled as would expected, because I haven't had the energy to work out like I was in the beginning. I also have a part-time job on top of my full-time job, which is delivering newspapers at 2am, so that makes me even more tired. Throw in being a mom and a wife and you can see my cause for concern.
That's not the problem thoug - I have done the "just one bite" thing and now, I feel I have ruined everything. And I haven't done it just once, I have done it a few times. Last night, I ate an entire medium size McDonald's fries! I am just too tired to fix anything that is Atkins friendly, plus my husband is having a fit because I keep putting "those green things" on his dinner plate. I think he means veggies. Between being tired and not wanting to fight with him, I have just said "to **** with it" and started fixing him what he wants, and I either don't eat at all, or I have small plate of whatever I fixed for him.
Please tell me this is normal and that I can pick back up where I left off. I haven't gained any weight back...yet, but I know it's coming. Believe me, it's not like I sat down and ate a whole bag of Lays potato chips. But I haven't been diligent in removing the crust from my pizza, or the buns off my hamburgar if you know what I mean.
And if I can get it back in gear, should I start over at the Induction phase? I was on OWL and successfully eating 40 to 60 carbs a day in fruit and veggies and still losing 2 to 3 pounds a week.
I feel like I need a cleansing - have you ever felt that way?

and fix dinner for you and the kids and let him get his own. He doesn't get to be

Knock it off!! You're not doing yourself or anyone else any good!
