I am having a great time with this

[Blossum]

I just finished my lunch, some "hamburger-bacon quiche" that I got from an Atkins recipe site and 1c. veggies. It was great.

I hve been eating low fat for so long, and frankly I have dieted my way up to this weight on a low fat diet with binges in between.

I have faith this is going to work plus I am not going to be starving all the time.

Yes, Blossum, hard to feel deprived eating eggs, butter, cream and bacon! Your lunch sounds delish .... mine was cold sliced roast beast with sour cream for dipping and some cubes of pepper jack cheese plus a couple of slices of tomato (breakfast was two turkey sausage patties .. I was in a hurry to get out the door). Saving the green veggies for dinner, to go with the pork chops. This is a DIET? This is HEAVEN! Funnily enough, I'm beginning to have to remind myself to eat ... is this normal? Anyway, Blossum, continue to have faith

It is DEFINITELY normal to have your appetite suppresed! One of the great wonders of Dr. Atkin's research!!! Congratulations on getting to that point!!!!

Your middle sentence really struck a cord with me. As I was working out yesterday, I was thinking about how true it was that I have too been dieting "my way up to this weight on a low fat diet with binges in between." What a very succint way to put it. I have been studying nutrition and exercise on my own for many years, yet gained weight every year. Now that I know this is the way for me, that cycle stops!

Glad you are having fun with this WOE! I am too!

Have a great day!

Wooohooo! Sounds like you are doing great! Keep up the good work!
I've dieted off and on for most of my life and nothing seemed to work and for the first time I can remember I'm not constantly starving and I'm not feeling bad about myself! Woohoo for us!
