Today was my niece's 3'rd birthday party. It was chock full of the usual party fare - chips, dips, potato salad, cupcakes, brownies, etc. For dinner there was bbq'ed hamburgers, hot dogs, french fries, baked beans, and coleslaw. I got there early, and upon seeing what the fare was, quickly left and ran to the grocery store and grabbed a small bag of salad greens and a green pepper (store was less than a block away.) I made myself a nice salad, and had a hamburger patty with cheese and a hot dog. I didn't even miss the "bad" stuff, and didn't blink an eye when I was offered a portion of the birthday cake and said 'no thanks.' I also drank water while all the other adults had fruit punch, pop, or beer/wine coolers. I'm so proud that I did it!!!

Re: My first REAL test & I passed!
Congrats on winning out over the crowd mentality of pigging out at special occasions! I know that feeling and it's grand! My first challenge on this woe this time around was Memorial Day weekend. I made it through a bridal shower on Sat., a big family dinner on Sunday and a cookout on Monday with flying colors and was so proud of myself too. Nothing beats being in control. Congrats again!Aka Nyna

Re: My first REAL test & I passed!
Congrats, for thinking quick on your feet, and for resisting temptation, and sticking to your guns. That shows great determination, and you should feel really proud of yourself.

Great Job Neecy!!
You are well on your way of making Atkins your "LIFESTYLE"! That was great that you checked out what was acceptable for you to eat then ran to the store for your veggies! That-a-girl!
