Re: I almost gave up this morning... | | This is a support board and you are encouraged to “get it all out” when you have your moments. Trust me, there is someone, somewhere reading and nodding like’ I feel like that too!” I would like to first give you a big ole’ virtual hug and say how proud of you I am for giving Atkins a shot in the first place. You have taken a step to eat better, and hopefully exercise more and I know first hand how hard THAT is. Next, I want to tell you, stop thinking and worrying so much. Try to relax and go with it. Atkins goes again the grain of everything society has deemed as unhealthy but in the end it does work. If you need encouragement, please take a gander at all of the wonderful testimonies in the before and after pics thread! There’s some serious reality there and it’s everyday people, eating good stuff and shrinking-just like you will do! There is nothing that says you have to eat eggs every morning; hunni I eat salads some days I even have a burger. Get creative with your foods. Have dinner for breakfast sometimes, it’s lots of fun! If you’re having a tough time with a clean induction, I would not recommend staying on it past the 2 weeks because that’s grounds for “cheats” and the yo-yo effect. Move up the rungs slowly and you should be fine. Have you read the book> If you have, and if you’re reading your labels, exercising, and drinking plain water, you’re doing great. 3-4 days is the threshold for the great feeling days and the “whoosh” of weight loss so keep on chugging along with Atkins. You Can Do IT!!!!!!!!!
