One leg on the wagon and one leg off..

[BikiniBy2010]

So, I've sort of fell off the Atkins wagon. Not too long ago I got a really bad case of food poisoning, I am guessing maybe salmonella. I was violently sick for days. You couldn't get me to eat a piece of meat. The thought of any of the Atkins recipes I had made, made me sick, and the thought still makes me sick.
The closest thing I can liken it to is being pregnant with morning sickness, and certain foods/smells just turning your stomach. That's what I am going through.
So, the last week or so I've been living off of house salads w/ ranch (which is Atkins friendly), and pre-cooked chicken wings, and I started eating 1 whole wheat wrap a day with lunch meat... which, obviously, is NOT Atkins friendly.
But that's all I've been eating, and while it's not on the diet, I have had very little hunger-- which is the same as when I was following Atkins very strictly.

So, I am at a weird place right now. I am still proud of myself for several things. I've given up diet soda and milk completely, and I haven't touched fast food since I started Atkins.
The only thing I am doing is having my ww wrap for lunch everyday. I don't know what my feelings are on it. I enjoy it, but I can't honestly say I am following Atkins if I do it. Although my carb count is under 25g a day.

So that's where I am right now. It's bittersweet. I am happy I am losing inches but I am not exactly happy I am not followng Atkins to a T like I have been prior to getting sick.

I'll update if/when I come back to Atkins fully.. 100%.

Re: One leg on the wagon and one leg off..

So sorry to hear about your salmonella, Bikini. That can be really really rough, as I know from experience.
I can understand how that can lead you to alter your eating plan a little, so kudos to you for keeping the alteration small and not falling off the wagon badly.

I'd make the move to OWL and try to forgo that ww wrap for just a little bit longer. It'll be tough to give up for a couple of days, and then all of a sudden you'll find it easier. Once you get to the correct rung, you can add it back in, or something similar.

Hope you're back to feeling yourself again totally, now.

Thanks for the update.
Glad that you're feeling better.
Losing inches is very good.
