    Confessions : Might as well let it out!

    Alright I will start with the confessions here, I cheated! ugh! like you all know I am having problems in the marriage and I finally filed for divorce..which means I will be moving to another state with the children as a condition for the divorce to be closer to him and his family (which the children had grown up with) So this was my last christmas for a while with my family and they threw me a party and my dad made my favorite which were empanadas..everything inside was atkins friendly except the flour shell..I ate two! and ate a two spoonful of salad (with chopped potatoes) he made them just for me, I could not say no I my daddy..but everything else was atkins friendly and No soda, just water..afterwards I felt like I have eaten cement and today I went and did the treadmill thing for an hour...but I cheated and now I am back on my regular scheduled. Ok who else??


    Btw..Merry Christmas!

    Posted one reply then deleted it... just a lot in this thread, girlfriend. I read about cheating on Atkins... then about the tendency to equate food with love... then about having to move closer to the ex and his family because of a divorce which means you really want to get away from the guy, yet... ????

    I'll stick to the cheating.

    I just take cheats so seriously because I know too well the path they lead to, yet I know you have a lot to deal with right now. Try very hard not to cheat again. Remember that each time we turn down an opportunity to cheat we get stronger. Each time we give in we get weaker. You're in my prayers.

      Hi Suzanne! I know the cheating was horrible, specially since I just posted a couple of days ago where it said something along the lines "If I can make it thru the holidays I can make it thru anything" I guess I was not all that prepared for daddy's making something just for me, I know it is bad to do the food = love thing and I was not, but daddy just went thru radiation for cancer and being really sick but he wanted to make those empanadas for me because i love them so and I just could not say gee dad thanks but I am in atkins so I love that you did them but I can't eat them..it seems horrible to me to do it, it was not weakness of will just wanting to participate in something my sick dad did for me...not an excuse but it is why I did it and won't be doing it anymore ..I know cheating won't get you anywhere but gain more weight.

      in regards to the divorce thing is we don't get along, really bad husband but he is still a good father and the children (boys) can have their father near , old friends and school back..whatever it takes to make this more easy on them you know?

      Thanks for the prayers! We can always use more of those

              Well, I did a deal with myself that I would relax a little for 2 days then get straight back on track.

              I started Atkins four weeks ago as a plan to slim up for Christmas. When it came to the crunch I actually didnt want to cheat!

              My issue was that as a family we have been on one diet or another every Christmas for the sake of my 16 year old step daughter who is always battling with weight issues. So I decided that this year was going to be the first year where I would enjoy 'normal' food.

              Truth is....I now feel bleeuuughhh and can't wait to get back to MY normal...Atkins!

                    Well I think it's easier to appreciate the successes when you experience the failures. Don't get m wrong, I don't think eating an empanada is a failure, or corn casserole, or anything like that. The failure would be to give up and not start again, because quitting is always the easiest thing to do, it's also the least rewarding, lol. And it sounds like everyone here is right back on the atkins bus, so no need to be hard on yourself. I'm proud of each and every one of us for all we have accomplished, and all we will accomplish!! WOo HOo!!!

                            Well....here I am with the Atkins flu again. Yeah...I know...its all my own fault! So glad to be back on track though. I know I will feel so much better in a couple of days.

                            Won't be cheating again in a hurry.

                            Hope you all are back on track and feeling better.

                              Woke up this morning not thinking about food, yay, lost the cravings that have plagued me since the cheat. Hope I remember this next time something looks really really good!

                              I'm so glad we all want to be right back on our WOE. It's the only way that makes sense. I wish you all well as we burst into this new year, renewed with energy & excitement!!!!
