True true true... what they all said.

You are in the right place for that help out of your slump. We all have been there. All I can say is that you AND ONLY YOU have to make the decision that you will not cheat, lose control, binge... whatever name you use for it... it all boils down to the same thing... you are being unfaithful to the good Doctor Atkins. YOU have to make up your mind not to indulge. I LOVE LOVE LOVE what sneal717 said about the pizza not going anywhere. she is so right. You have to look at the inductiion phase as a time in your life where you become devoted to breaking unhealthy patterns of addiction. We were all addicted to carbs... and while that is a chemical addiction we were also emotionally addicted to the pattens of behaviour around consuming the carbs. Dr Atkins designed a plan that is so easy to stick to which addresses our chemical addiction, but the emotional addiction is something you need to address... in your own way... in your own time.

Ask yourself why you are out of control. Are you scared... of losing weight... of failing to lose weight... of changing....as yourself about yourself and you will see something all of us who are successfully following Atkins have seen... and that is the truth that we want health and wellness and to be rid of our everweight so me can become the people we are truly meant to be. there are lots of overweight people who are happy with there state in life... I was one of them for many many years. NOT ANY MORE. I want more out of life than I was able to get as an obese woman closing in on her 40's.

Address your "out of control' behaviours. Eat luxuriously... and YOU will lose... and nothing nothing nothing will taste as good to you as how you will feel in those jeans you so badly want to wear... I am living proof... I am in pair right now that make my butt look fantastic... even though it is still plussss size butt!! I look great and feel great and am here to say so because I gained control.

YOU CAN DO THIS!!!! FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION!!! YOU SIMPLY NEED TO MAKE UP YOUR MIND THAT YOU ARE GOING TO BE SUCCESSFUL!!!!!

Keep us posted on your success!
