Jodes starting OWL today

[sandradeee]

Hey there Jodes

I've finally joined the forums here.

How are you going on OWL now? Bet you're enjoying a few nuts etc. these days.

I'm back to basics today - full on Induction to get me started (again).

Going out on the weekend might be a 'trigger' for you... you might have to stay home for a couple of weeks to break that habit...

I can't go to the movies at all because I want popcorn SO bad that I can't even enjoy the movie... Sometimes we have to remove the temptation so that we don't drive ourselves insane...

Jodes, I'm so sorry!!!

Probably going back to induction under these circumstances to get your control back is a good idea. I did when I felt my eating was getting out of control, and it helped.

I have started allowing myself higher calories and carbs on Sundays, as that is my rest day and I always want something special. So I just plan for a flax seed cookie and cream cheese with raspberry sugar free syrup and 10 pecan halves.... or some similar splurge. While these treats might slow my weight loss down a little, they don't throw me out of ketosis and derail my WOE.

It leaves me ultra satisfied and it helps to know I can have a splurge on Sunday. It also helps keep me on track through the week.

Hang in there. Just consider this a lesson and learn from it. You will do great!

Hey San, welcome the forum - great place and these Atkineers will keep you on track. We are so lucky to have so many Atkins Gurus here.

msanjelpie, I agree - sometimes it is hard not to go out and when there are not 'friendly' foods on offer it is worse.

Sunny, I have gone back to induction and I am loving it. I breeze through the day without thinking about food until my meal times and I have a decaf with a tablespoon of cream as a treat after dinner while I watch TV. It feels right again.

All is well, I have been back on induction menu's since Monday and I also started the Couch to 5K running program on Monday - stay tuned, this is a workout and I although I have only done it twice this week, I am loving it.
