Being bad never tasted so good

[fawn]

hmmmm.........I loved cigarettes and ale beer! Now I hate them and sugar! Are you ready to commit? I mean really ready???????

Go have a smoke and a beer and think about it.

OK. We went away from Ding-Dongs and veered dangerously into swilling antifreeze.

I say we all go play some pool down at the tavern and drink some water.

While these foods have provided me with a sort of high, they definatly make me feel crappy about 20-30 mins after I eat them which will hopefully be reason enough to stop.

This is so tough. This morning I had a bagel w/ honey pecan cream cheese. I never would have known how good it is if I didn't break from Atkins.

If I follow Atkins to the tee, will I ever be able to eat something like this again? (methinks not )

Today is my last day, or at least that's the plan. No chocolate or sugar today, just bagels and rice (boss taking us out for sushi )

Yes, you would, when you are in your Maintenance phase. The longer you procrastinate about starting the diet and losing the weight, the longer it will take you to get to Maintenance.

Thats great news. I'm procrastinating because there is a work social event tonight as I mentioned, and to pass up an open bar because I started Atkins 1 day earlier.... well it isn't going to happen

But if I don't start tomorrow promise that you'll give me a hard time about it.

i think you might be surprised that after starting this woe. i loved cake and pancakes and toast and candy bars and ...you get the picture. just the smell of a snickers bar sends me into a spiral now. the love of doughnuts is over. you will find out that some of these thing you love to eat can and will be introduced back in but you're also going to find some very good things to eat. then you'll wonder how you ever got along without those!

[QUOTE=Rhuobhe-]I've missed carbs so much, I'm sure you all have too. [/QUOTE]

Not me.. not the carbs that made me feel like crap and look fat as h*ll. I love the good carbs that make me feel and look SUPAH. Attitude and outlook are EVERYTHING when it comes to permanent lifetime change.

I agree........... BUT not if it makes you go hog wild. There are some things (triggers) which some people do need to totally avoid.
