    Easter Eggs

    My daughter just let slip that my hubbie bought me a very lovely big Lindt Egg with loads of chocs on it - apparently very expensive. Trouble is he bought it befor I went on atkins - he has been a bit grumpy the last couple of weeks - I thought it was because he had given up smoking - but apparently it is all over this egg!

    So what now - eat it very quicky? and get back on track!

    Re: Easter Eggs

    Personally I wouldn't eat it. Give it away, share it with friends and family, but don't eat it.

    I value my success and my drive and determination on Atkins, and I wouldn't want to sacrifice that, just as you probably don't want to take away progress or regain some of those 9 pounds that you worked so hard to lose! Many people have a "just one bite won't hurt" mentality, and those are often the people who disappear for 3 months and then reappear completely off the wagon.

    Even if the egg were expensive...you health and wellbeing is priceless.

      I would think that your husband would support you now and not expect you to eat the egg. Tell him how thoughtful it was of him and under other circumstances you would have dug right into it. Please dont sabotage yourself to please your husband. He should be understanding. And if he is not well then he will just have to deal with it. It will be easier for him to get over the dissapointment of you not eating the egg, than it will be for you to get over your guilt and get back on track after eating it.

          Oh no.. I wouldn't eat it...cause you may not get back on track.. I told Hubby PLEASE find me some Sugar Free Jelly Beans yesterday at Walmart.. Well he couldn't find any.. which is good.... He came home with 9 long red stemmed roses instead

              Perhaps hubbie would be interested in helping you decorate 'real' Easter eggs for you to eat (you can get the decorating kits on sale now!!)

              Hard boil up some eggs, and spend the evening decorating them for each other...

                  Hi

                  Cocobelle - wow good weight loss for you - hope to follow suit!! - we used to do the egg decorating when we were little - used to love it - personally dont think I could face another egg for ages - had 6 in the last 3 days!!

                  Sheila - my gorgeous egg is sitting on the coffee table - next to a gorgeous bouquet from himself! It has a good long date on it so just gonna admire it for now! It is very tempting - maybe will open it when I get to GOAL ! sharing it with my whole family of course!

                    Thanks, UKGirl! You CAN do this!! Keep to the diet, and work yourself through the sticky times (sticky in meaning that the scale refuses to budge!!) This board is wonderful for support...picking people's brains for ideas....venting.

                    Good Luck!!

                      that is a great idea!!
                      I find that if anyone gives me chocolates or other off-plan 'goodies' I either rewrap them and give them away to someone else (a skinny someone ) or if I am with others who do eat them I open them up and hand them round. No-one notices if I am eating any of it myself!
                      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!
