Yes, I understand. Small example, I had promised my son he could make milkshakes this week. So, tonight he wanted to do it.
I will admit to taking like 2 sips of it but it was soooo hard for me. I was thinking...I just want to eat "whatever" again..without thinking..just eat.
But then I stop myself because that is not what I truly want. What did I ever get from uncontrollable eating? Doing Atkins and feeling in control of my eating..I remind myself of how that feels. I honestly don't feel deprived and I enjoy the things I eat. Its an emotional thing for me. I try to look at it as a challenge (in a good way), to find foods I like to eat. Try new recipes, etc. Its simple, but one of my favorite dinners is steak and salad. Everyone around me can eat anything and I won't care if I have steak and salad.
Not much help probably but I want you to know I do understand how you feel. Take care.
