Default Re: Mon cher, practically speaking, ADBB flu is the worst

1. How efficient are you without ADBB? [My answer: I thought I waste a lot of time on the board, but I discovered I actually work better if I am able to check it throughout the day.]
Put it this way, I did a lot of housework! I did get withdrawal symptoms on the fiftieth time I checked and got the 'this domain has expired' message. I didn't have anyones e-mail or f/b details and was feeling quite sad that I could have lost touch with everyone :-(

2. Were you more tempted to cheat without getting advice/inspiration/etc. from the board? [My answer: No. But I've cheat-free for months, so that makes things easier.]
I have to be honest here... I was going out for a birthday celebration meal last night and had already decided to be more leniant (sp?!) than normal and when I couldn't log on it made me better that I wouldn't be talked out of it! In the end, I hardly ate anything at this meal!

3. Would you keep doing Atkins if the board closed? Do you think your success on Atkins depends on ADBB? [My answer: From where I am today, I would say "yes, I would, even without the board", on the other hand I am pretty sure I would have not restarted Atkins after being more off than on this summer, if I hadn't read something here that really opened my eyes.]
I would but I know that this board keeps me accountable and I really value the advice I get here and any kicks when I am wandering over to my carb addiction ways too.
