Today marks my 100th day on Atkins.
I am content and happy.
My weight fluctuates between 122-123 lb and I am eating normally. My indulgences include 2 cups of coffee with half and half, one glass of white wine and eating out one meal daily at a restaurant (I am on summer holidays). As I said I am quite happy.
But... I am always prepared for temptation, no matter where I go I take macedemia nuts and small cheese rounds with me (does not need refridgeration) in case I get hungry and there is no legal food around.
I can wear size 8 US and all the current fashions, which I go easy on as I am past menopause. But... I was at an outdoor festival yesterday and a cool looking guy in his early forties made quite a fuss over me... hmmm... it didn't exactly hurt....
The only time I "cheated" so far was two days ago, a long time friend died, he was quite young. I ate two of my favourite licorice sticks to console myself, but I don't seem to like their flavour any more. I guess the taste changes, I like my Stevia and I don't like the taste of sugar.
One's taste really does change over time. I think 100 days is significant because with drug addiction they celebrate after 90 days, some of my friends had to go through that unfortunately. So I figure it should be similar with food addiction. I seem to have broken my carb addiction.
