    Just realized WHY I'm craving food tonight!

    I am absolutely determined to do a clean induction after my faulty start. So today I have eaten only permitted foods and my carb count is at exactly 20.

    I couldn't imagine why I have been craving food all evening... have eaten pork rinds, kippered herring, cheese -- everything legal -- and I should have felt satisfied.

    Then I realized that for years I have chewed several pieces of nicorette gum a day. Today I didn't have a single one because it is not on the induction list.

    And it dawned on me that this induction is also going to get rid of my addiction to the gum!

    I am so thrilled that I don't even mind if all the extra legal foods slow my weight loss down a little!

      Yes! I was hoping this would be a sprint, but it is becoming clear to me that this is going to be months of baby steps.

      But I am still marveling at the power of Dr. Atkins' diet to break addictions, both to food and to my nicotine gum. It gives me even more incentive to make sure I follow his directions exactly.

      Thanks for the good wishes!

        Welcome to the board sunny. Yes it takes time but it's worth every minute and after all, what better way is there to spend that time. Gaining more weight certainly isn't an acceptable option and just think of how much better you will look and feel when bathing suit time arrives!!!

          Already I am so tickled at my progress. I used to have to use a mini bungie as an extender for the waist of my jeans.

          Now they fit great without the bungie!

          Bathing suit? Well, maybe next year!
