Default Re: If you lost weight during Atkins...

Great post Jasmain!

Blue, I know it can be soooo hard. Sometimes the cravings seem to be too much. It's tempting to throw the towel in and just forget this stupid WOE...
But if you do that you'll be exactly where you started. You have two choices - to stick with this or to give up. Giving up gets you no where. It only means that you'll be back in the same boat you were in before you started and having to deal with this again when you go on your next 'diet'.
Be strong, this will pass! I promise!!! There were days I could cry because I wanted to cave so badly. I made due with a snack size cup of sugar free jello (not recomended by some) or I'd just fill up on induction friendly foods. After about a month or so this went away. Now I can't even remember the last time I was tempted to eat something bad for me, this has become second nature.
Stay strong, you can do this! If you need support come here - withtout this site I would have been lost!
Also, you can make Atkins friendly versions of most foods - try them. Sure they may not be 100% the same but it helps!

Good luck and stay strong, you can do this!!!
