[chiloe]

You couldn't have said it better!! I have been at this two weeks and I feel exactly the same way. It's empowering! I have failed at other diets because I wasn't eliminating the sugar and carbs and it was inevitable that I would fail.
Now, I know I am succeeding and will continue to do so.
My energy has increased (my main reason for doing Atkins), my joints aren't sore, my stamina has increased to get everything done in a day that I have to without feeling overwhelmed, and I'm really enjoying what I'm eating! My body obviously likes it too.!

Keep up the great job!
