I need someone to tell me that I should stop eating atkins bars

[pokiedot]

Seriously, I think I need someone to text me every hour on the hour and say NO NO NO don't buy another single atkins candy bar ever.

It isn't that I haven't lost weight when eating them, but it's just starting to get out of hand. I'm still losing... just bought some size 20 jeans and size 18 non-stretch tops... but I KNOW that if I could just stop eating that garbage I would lose faster and not be spending so much time in the bathroom. (sugar alcohol gives me some gnarly diarrhea)

Maybe someone could just slap some sense into me...

Or come up with something else I could do with the $1.69 a piece that I am spending on these ridiculously gross tasting candy bars!

STOP EATING THE BARS!!!

Avoid the aisle where those bars are.
Buy real food.
Make a shopping list before you leave home and stick to it. Don't put the bars on the list.
Reward yourself (not with food) for 1 week without bars.

Save the money for your clothes for the next size down. Seriously, put it in a jar every day and tell yourself you don't have "other" money to buy the bars with. They're so nasty and not worth it!! Yuck, yuck! DON'T EAT THE BARS!!

Stop eating the bars!

Looks like you're making great progress - have you thought about moving up to OWL? Another 5 carbs per day of veggies on Rung 1 could do the trick.

Good luck - let us know how you're doing.

You don't need anyone to tell you not to eat them because you know yourself you can spend the money your wasting on them instead by buying some fresh food like chicken breasts,cheese etc.You may be having them because your not eating full meals that fill you up.If you stay full you wouldn't want a snack.Please have a think and have the willpower to STOP eating them.You might even lose more once you give them up.

I shop the outer edges of the store and avoid all the isles. There's only junk in there. Besides ... you don't really want to fill yourself up with the chemicals in those things ... especially when the other foods you are eating are so healthy ... right??

Oddly, nobody has phrased it properly yet. So here goes:

Stop eating Atkins bars

Seriously, they're gross. Use some sense woman!

Everytime you eat an Atkins bar, Dr. Atkins spins in his grave. If you keep eating these bars, he'll keep spinning and spinning, eventually heating Earth's mantle layer to an unsustainable level. This will cause widespread vegetation destruction, which will then kill all animals. Do you really want that? Stop eating the damn bars.

WOW! If I ate those bars anymore I certainly wouldn't anymore. Who wants all that damage resting on their shoulders LOL

I like the idea of putting the money aside for a 'real treat' - a manicure/pedicure, cute clothes/shoes...

PS - stop eating atkins bars

Re: I need someone to tell me that I should stop eating atkins bars

Thank you thank you thank you!

It always helps to hear other people say it. They are garbage and they don't taste good, but it was sort of like smoking was many MANY years ago when I smoked. I didn't really like it but somehow it became a habit.

Anyway, I figured out about how much I've spent on them over the last 2 months and went out and bought the next size down in the most *awesome* jeans I've ever had... which is about the same amount of $$. They're on the shelf so I can see them every morning and I'm pretty sure if I don't eat the bars I'll be in them in no time.

this board rocks!

Re: I need someone to tell me that I should stop eating atkins bars

think of how much MORE weight you may have lost if you hadn't eaten the bars.....remember, MOST of the ingredients aren't allowed in induction. Maybe it's time you move on to OWL and add different foods - that way you won't be tempted to eat those SH*TTY bars!!

Re: I need someone to tell me that I should stop eating atkins bars

Yeah I've moved on, just haven't updated that part on here. I forgot to do it when I was updating the weight loss.
