Lil post for everyone who is having tough time on Induction

[october.sparrow]

Hi everyone

I wanted to let everyone know who is finding it tough to stay on Atkins..to hang in there.

I wanted to share my lil temptation battle which absolutely tested me.To be honest it felt as if someone was delibrately tried to sabotage me!

On Wednesday, I was running late for a workshop, didn't have my breakfast and went straight into the my class. Lo and behold there was the most scrumptious breakfast spread (and each and every thing was not induction freindly). Any how I resisted while my mind kept saying little piece won't hurt.

If that wasn't bad enough, the morning tea brought in apple slices, muffins the works...I stuck to my peppermint tea...To make matters absolutely worse, we were provided lunch again all non induction friendly...

After all the templations I DID NOT GIVE IN!!!! I held off, even when people were insiting...

In short - I stuck with it because I am doing it for MEEEE....not my partner, not peers, its MEEEE all along.

I know all of us can DO IT..stick with it..its worth it!

Great job! Thanks for sharing.

Plus, at the end of the day, you felt good about not giving into all those wrong choices. I often ask myself..what is going to make me feel good at the end of the day? Eating something "illegal" might taste good for a minute but I won't like it at the end of the day.

That sounds like a tuff situation. Way to hold your ground!

Thanks guys.
I will always look at my Wednesday as my temptation test...I must admit at one point I was like "IS THIS HAPPENING FOR REAL"!
Plus I have a wonderful community...

Woo-hoo! Good for you! This morning I had my dad waving his baked apple pancake in my face. He decided to tease me and tell me how good it smells and all this and that. He says to me at one point, "How's it look?" I grinned and said "Full of carbs" and dumped my eggs in the pan.

I remember a family dinner one time and everyone was eating some sugary dessert. I just said no, thank you. My mom said, I feel sorry for you not having any dessert. I said..I feel sorry for you all eating all that sugar.

Doesn't it make you feel soooo good when you say No at times....

I reckon everyone can do it. Keep saying it to yourself and yes things get tough but between you and carb ...who should win??

Sad part is that people don't get it all the time. For some reason, people want to test us. That is why it is always good to carry something induction friendly with you.

Wonder if this same people would tempt the alcoholic with alcohol or the diabetic with sugar or the person with peanut allergies with nuts? If they know you are doing Atkins and still not making any accomodation, ask yourself why.

That is some serious mental strength - so glad you posted this message. I'm sure it will keep quite a few of us in check (like me :P)!

Way to go!
