[twingirlsandaboy]

I mean seriously today is my son's 2nd Birthday and I so wanted to eat anything with sugar in it!!! I didn't but I seriously had to talk to myself!!! What is wrong with me???? I am fat as a house and just want to eat crap!!!!

today I had
bacon & a chicken breast for breakfast
cheese for snack
afternoon snack I made some taco seasoned hamburger meat with a little bit of salad and avocado for lunch
for dinner I'm having a salad & another chicken breast

I'm really NOT hungry just craving the sugar and junk food...

First few days are the hardest. You will get past it and you won't miss the junk...it just takes a few days to get the toxins out of your system that are giving you those cravings.

Great job making it through the day though!!! Just remember not to limit yourself during this part of induction. If you have a craving, eat something you are allowed to eat...don't let yourself get hungry!

You just have to talk yourself through it.. I promise it will get easier... Eat a nice juicy steak...and not feel guilty..

I know what you mean about the cravings. My 3rd week in I was dreaming eating that stuff too. The cravings will go away and you will forget all about it when you get on the scale. keep up the good work

I've been doing Atkins since September 5. While I haven't lost tons of weight (40 lbs)..I've lost tons of inches! Had do buy three sizes smaller in pants!!!) Never once cheated or strayed! I can now walk past ALL the "tempting" food at work without ever cringing! I can even say no to those well meaning people who say "come on, one bite won't hurt"! OH YES IT WILL...would have started me back to square one. Come too far to ever want to go back! Keep up the great work! It does get easier!

I get and understand the force of those cravings. You gotta realize and know you DO have the strength to say NO to those cravings WHEN they come. And they WILL come. Saying NO is so worth it! You'll see. FIGHT ON!

Some people may say that when you have a craving, go make something legal that is similar, or think about what made you crave it and why, etc etc. Personally, I flat out push them away. Its awfully easy to imagine what it would be like, and thats the first step toward actually doing it. It is something that gets better with practice too. Today I've made ice tea with sugar, breaded hot wings, and poured dr pepper all for someone else, and the only thing that crossed my mind was 1. "ew i dont want to touch these" and 2. "ew he better not kiss me after he eats that" lol

Thank you all for so much support.. I apologize for posting and vanishing.... I do not have internet access at home right now and I haven't worked since Thursday BUT while I have NOT cheated I've had the most intense horrible 4 days ... my baby pitbull puppy is missing, I do canine rescue and he followed his mother and two other dogs out of our "secured" fence... the three adult dogs killed my 125 lb goat Danny he was my baby as well.. I had to put down all three of those dogs as they are not safe to adopt or have around so that almost brought me to my knees... and to still have my baby pitbull missing is just killing all of us.. my three kids are asking for him everyday.. my husband is heartbroken.. we are doing everything we know how to find him... if you please add Scout to the list to find his way home....

Thanks...
