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

1. I am more efficient when I'm able to check the board a few times a day.

2. I was not tempted to eat more - I actually didn't know the site was down until the next morning when I got online to post my exercises for the morning and heard the rumblings about the board being "gone" the day before.

3. I would continue with Atkins without the board but I wouldn't be near as happy as I am with the board! I really enjoy coming here reading how others are doing, sending messages to people I'm buddies with -- checking in on the water challenge board to see how everyone is doing there....it's just nice to know that others are out there doing the same thing I am, struggling, euphoric at the loss of another pound, whatever type of day they are having. With Atkins I can sit at the table with my family and eat just about anything and everything they are eating - when they have potatoes I have cauliflower fixed one of 10 or more ways), when they have bread I have flax crackers, when they have corn or carrots I have broccoli or a mixture of radishes, cucumber & celery. It's all good, I'm grateful to be able to eat and not be upset that I can't have what everyone else is having then getting mad and quitting. I'm free on this WOE and I love it!!
