  • Atkins gives me the POWER I need!

    I woke up this morning (3rd day of induction) and was feeling
    sorry for myself because I was on the Atkin's diet.

    I almost stupidly decided that I really didn't need to be
    doing Atkins that I could just "watch what I ate" and
    control my sweets....

    WHAT???????????

    Then I came back to reality really quick--thank goodness

    I proved over the holidays that I COULDN'T CONTROL THE SWEETS!

    THERE'S NO CONTROLLING S*U*G*A*R...it controls you!
    *and there's nothing worse than knowing that something as simple
    as FOOD has control over your mind (and appetite!).

    I like to be in control of ME and have food choices I make that are
    tasty and filling and healthy. On sugar I never got enough...it controlled my WHOLE DAY as I was always snacking. Not to mention my nasty
    moods because once again the suagr was in control of them--I did not
    like myself one bit.

    Only way I know how to be in control is to eat the Atkin's Way.
    This is only my 3rd day of induction....it will get easier for me once
    ketosis sets in and my cravings go away. That's what I am waiting for.

    To take over control again..(control is very important to me!)
    Thanks Atkins for my way out and away from sugar and a better
    more healthy lifestyle!

    I am more powerful than sugar--Atkins makes it possible!

    Now my day is going great!
    I'm going to exercise....(sugar is not going to like that )

    Happy New Year 2007

          Use being a control freak to your advantage!!LOL

          You're right though, don't allow sugar and refined carbohydrates control you ever again. Hate everything that it's done to you and use that as ammunition against the addict inside you.

            Good for you, Pie. When you mentioned feeling sorry for yourself, it reminded me of a post I made a while back about food allergies. While it sounds like you already mentally beat that little deamon (yay!), I thought I'd share what I think about when I start to feel angry or like life is unfair because I can't eat like a "normal" person:

            I'm allergic to crab. It makes me violently sick to my stomach... for hours and hours. I found this out the hard way (several times before I figured it out). So, I CHOOSE not to eat crab because it makes me feel like crap. And, no matter how much I like it (used to be one of my favorite foods), it's just not worth it.

            Do I go around whining because I can't eat crab? No, I just accept it and move on. I mean, if you're allergic, what can ya do? It's just the way I'm made.

            I try to view my relationship with sugar and carbs the same way. No sense in whining -- I just try to accept it and move on because it's just the way I am.

            Hope this might help some folks who sometimes get a little down and feel deprived. (I can't imply I'm totally over that feeling, but this mindset helps a lot when I feel it coming on.)

                Sugar is totally evil. In every sense of the word.

                You're on your way now!!!
