It was hard to stand up and cook, so I just ate things in moderation, but went up a bit in my carbs. I have recently stopped smoking and have been stressed with work, and in the last few months have gained 10 lbs. Which sucks! So I am getting at Atkins really hard core again. I am looking forward to meeting people, using this forum and keeping on track.
Thanks everyone! | Good thing to tighten things up. Congratulations for the pounds you've lost and for giving up smoking. You're on the way to a healthier you! 
Welcome to the Board!

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!"

it's also good that you took matters into hand with only that 10 pound gain and didn't wait for it to be 20 or 30 .
