Re: After Cheats....
I am COMPLETELY the same way. "Oh - I've had some ice cream - let's have a gallon". I literally "lose my head" unless I'm protected by Liposys.
Look - I've done well on Atkins and I'm making a run at the rest of my weight -- I'm hoping to do well again ---but STUFF happens. When it does - it is nice to have some ideas what to do.

The only way I can deal with a cheat is not to do it. I know from past experience if I cheat, it will set me off on a whole string of them. 
"Ok I've already ruined the diet today so I might as well eat what I want and restart tomorrow" "Well heck, I've ruined it for the weekend, so I might as well restart Monday". "OH since I wasn't on the diet yesterday, I made that good lasagna, we might as well finish it up before I restart..." 
and so on. This is just my experience though YMMV
