Atkins old-timer

[ssMarilyn]

I originally posted somewhere else here, then found this. I'm an Atkins die-hard and have used his way of eating since the 70's. I'm addicted to sugar-carbs so when I JUMP off the wagon, I'm off for 2-3 years as it's almost impossible to stop sugar! I have to do it! I'm so fed up with being controlled by a certain type of food. ARGH!

We all hear ya and understand the various triggers in our lives. Sugar is my husband's trigger, salt and fat are mine. Needless to say, Atkins isn't quite as hard on me as it is on him ... and he has absolutely no will-power at the office. If there's a cookie around, he'll find it ... but I know he's trying. I feel like his Mom by scolding him, but I want him to get through induction. We've still got a week to go.

Good luck to you! I know you can do it again.

This is my third day and I feel little to no craving for sugar now. Thank heavens Atkins still works for me like it always has. My tummy is down, my fingers are no longer swollen....I can feel it working. Thank you Dr. Atkins!!

Sugar! That stuff is evil ... but I did love it so ... oh well, no victory without sacrifice, right? Good health is a pretty good trade-off.

Don't you just LOVE the unswelling of body parts...I love that my wedding ring doesn't have to be rammed on my finger in the morning...lol

ssMarilyn ... how did you get the information at the bottom of your ticker? I'm having the dickens of a time getting my signature and the section at the top of each message setup the way I want it. (There's probably an official name for the top section, right?) Everyone seems to have lots of fun stuff on their messages, but I don't know how they are doing it.
