Re: Brand New to Atkins--a few concerns | | I think we're both lucky -- I didn't have any trouble geting use to eating this way either. I thought I'd had a time with sugar and starches but amazingly I haven't and I am so happy. I think the challenges help me and drinking water is my other godsend!
I even ate out at lunch today -- ordered a hamburger without ketchup - threw away the bun and had a side salad with 1/3 of the dressing so it only counted as 1 carb....I was actually full when I finished. Before I'd have a double hamburger, fries & a shake...amazing what a week will do. My mother sat across from me eating fries and honestly they didn't even appeal to me. I even was able to go to the store today and didn't pick up anything that wasn't allowed.
It's easier than we think -- we just have to put our minds to it. Good luck with your progress...I'll watch to see how you're doing. If you need a shoulder or want to talk let me know!!
