When you don't eat any caffeine, sugar or carbs, there is very, very little there that's appealing.:tongue::lol:

The tap water is good though.:lol: ]]> Misnagid http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/misnagid/310-deja-vu-all-over-again.html http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/misnagid/290-deja-vu-all-over-again.html Wed, 24 Sep 2008 00:56:22 GMT I went to Starbucks today and had water again.
Funny, I haven't really had cravings for iced tea. Only very intermittently, anyway. ]]> Misnagid http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/misnagid/290-deja-vu-all-over-again.html http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/misnagid/213-deja-vu-all-over-again.html Sun, 31 Aug 2008 16:25:55 GMT Went to Starbucks again and had nothing but water.

Maybe someday I'll be able to have my weak black iced tea again -- a black tea diluted with a cup of iced water the same size. OTOH, maybe it's just as well skipping it and just having water. No candida or calorie or caffeine addiction worries that way.

But not going to Starbucks is good for me and good for my wallet. I actually did go with DH and the kids but all I had was a glass of water. I take my daughter there because she'll actually eat and drink some food there. She's extremely thin because of her ongoing GI condition. She's 5 and weighs 36 pounds and is 43 inches tall. She's finally putting on some weight. She didn't gain an ounce from 18 months to age 3. All she did was cry and cry because of her hellacious reflux. The poor child didn't sleep until she was three and half years old.

Our life is so much better now than it was a year ago. A year ago I was so stressed out that I would have broken down crying if I thought about never getting something from Starbucks again. It was my refuge there. 20 minutes a day that kept me barely sane. ]]> Misnagid http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/misnagid/206-deja-vu-all-over-again.html http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/misnagid/196-deja-vu-all-over-again.html Mon, 25 Aug 2008 17:01:35 GMT I'm also giving up Starbucks. My wallet will be much happier. ]]> Misnagid http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/misnagid/196-deja-vu-all-over-again.html http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/misnagid/195-deja-vu-all-over-again.html Mon, 25 Aug 2008 16:52:31 GMT Today, I am abstaining from my weak iced tea. Yeah, I forgot that part.:oops:

Oh, well. At least I didn't put any sugar in it.

I also had way too much lettuce yesterday but still managed to lose 2.2 pounds. :dancing1 I will be better today. I thought I must have done three things wrong yesterday but I'll try to do three more things the right way today. ]]> Misnagid http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/misnagid/195-deja-vu-all-over-again.html http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/misnagid/189-deja-vu-all-over-again.html Sun, 24 Aug 2008 23:31:04 GMT BTDT, but some people have to learn the hard way.

Today was the first day of induction.

I was planning on starting Atkins on Sept.2, the day after my son's third birthday. But I wasn't that thrilled eating birthday cake (for me) back on Tuesday. So not thrilled that I decided that this week was the week.

I need to go out and buy some supplements. I used to pooh-pooh them, but I've seen them change my life in the last two years. Also, I guess I need some ketostix. I need to make a list of stuff to buy.

I had a wicked sugar craving the way I always do on Sunday nights. But I had some gum with xylitol and that helped. Oops, I guess I need to see if xylitol is a permissible sugar substitute. ]]> Misnagid http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/misnagid/189-deja-vu-all-over-again.html
