I think some of the things there could be successfully applied to Atkins, when one is tempted to eat candy/cake/pasta/potato/etc.

An excerpt from the article:
For me singing is out of question as I don't want to force everybody to evacuate the building, but I have two office mates... maybe they want to play hide-and-seek with me.

Georgiana,

You crack me up!!!! Sign me up for a round of hide and seek....these days, I'm needing it!!! I've been craving like crazy. Perhaps I'll just go find a corner some where, crouch down, cover my eyes and start rocking back and forth....ya think it will work?!?!??!

Cheers!
