Bekka,

I am with you on this all the way. I have been trying to get in the right frame of mind and am struggling with it. I truly believe that the secret to Atkins is not what you eat but how you deal with adversity...I, like most on this board eat refined carbs and sugar products to counteract negative feelings. To say stop doing that is easily said but very tough. The reason is that those drugs work for me. To binge out on Ice cream and Pizza helps me to escape whatever situation is bothering me. It can be something as simple as not finding my car keys in the morning or a fight with my wife. I am an all or nothing type of person so if I fail one morning I will give up for the day. This of course is one of the problems I must overcome. The thing is I have no idea how to do it. I have given serious thought lately to taking out a loan and checking into Rogers Memorial Hospital in Wisconson that specializes in male eating disorders as I am really at a loss on how to correct and change these habits. With all that said I am going to give this everything I have and Bekka, thanks for the push. I will call you tonight.
