I'm Only Human!!!!!!

So we celebrated my birthday on Saturday and my Mum made the greatest food of all time:

On the seventh day God looked down and saw cabbage, and he said that cabbage needed picklin'. So with one word the cabbage was pickled. Then he looked around and saw taters, but those taters were too light and fluffy so he added flour and made them heavy as rocks. Then he saw a little piggy all needin' of some cookin' ,so with one word the piggy was roased. Then with one swipe of his powerful hand he mixed them all up and cooked them all day. He then tasted his heavenly creation, and it was good.


. That my friends is what is known as saurkraut and dumplings. No man can resist the tender pork-edness and the overstuffed carbliness that is sent from the dumpling Gods. I'm not usually the type to say "just this one time will be alright" but we all have our weakness and this is mine. She made enough for 3 days of breakfast, lunch, and dinner so that is my only sustinance till Wenesday morning. Good news is she only made 12 dumplings so those will be gone today. The rest is still Atkins goodness!

Does this serve any useful purpose besides oral gratification?

Confession is good for the soul.

I'm finding that many of the people on this board suddenly have absolutely no sense of humor what so ever. Maybe I should have just b!tched about how I cheated again and how I hate myself and have no control. Sniveling serves no useful purpose either.

Amazing. Lighten up.

Hey, the man is 15 pounds BELOW goal. I say he can have dumplings once a year on his birthday, and still maintain his weight.

I remember dumplings, with great fondness. Actually, I probably will never be able to eat them, even in moderation, again, since I have absolutely no control. Chicken and dumplings. and potato soup were the two dishes that I would literally continue eating until I was sick. I know an addict when I see one, and I saw me!

Good for you K5!
And I agree with Chris.
The great thing about this WOE, is that you CAN have such things again, eventually. In moderation of course.
And HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Dumplings are a good part of my former WOE. Just thinking about eating them makes me feel hungry. They probably will never have a place in my life again except the ones still riding on my hips. Sorry - no offense intended -
k5commando can eat whatever he wants at 15 below goal.

Maintenance Phase is a different game than the weight loss phases. You've gone through the weight loss phases, so you know how your body responds to different foods. You also know what your CCML (Critical Carbohydrate Maintenance Level) is. So there's no need to eat Induction level carbs and Induction foods during Maintenance Phase---unless you have extremely severely metabolically resistant and need to eat very little carbs in order to maintain weight.

That's the great thing about Atkins... If you do it correctly, you learn about your body's response to various foods and you learn how much carbohydrate your body can have in order to maintain your weight. So foods "forbidden" during Induction might be a part of your Maintenance diet.

I see the funny...and I laugh!



Atleast you have a Mom that's willing to make a fuss over ya! LOL...right there you gotta be feeling good right?

I saw in an interview with Dr. Atkins, once, where he said that sometimes he did eat the crust on the pizza. He was at maintenance level, so he could do that from time to time.

I wonder how many of the folks here would scold a fellow member for doing the same?
