__________________ "The truth is that temptation lurks everywhere, unless you deny yourself a social and working life and the attendant pleasures of eating out. I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource. Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!" (Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution, Chapter 19)     |

Hi there! Has it been an entire week for you now? How are you faring? Having any particular struggles? Seen/felt some improvements? (I'm not trying to be nosy -- this is an official invitation/request for you to talk about yourself, since you mention it doesn't come naturally.)  PS - I love your avatar... I've felt like a grouch more than once during my Induction!

This is the best support system you can find - we all work together and encourage each other to succeed. You will find that by sharing your goals, your thoughts and your accomplishments in losing the weight it will keep you focused on making plans to improve your life-style to get healthier and lose the weight. Use the positive enforcement here to committ to making it happen. Get active here, make friends and form a plan to get to your goal. We're all here for you! You can do it!
