Ok.. I have to confess.. I have cheated today!! I ate a reese's cup, only one, the tortilla on a grilled snack wrap from mac donalds and 4 malted milk balls!! IDK what my prob is today, but I will be back on track tomorrow, feel better about it already cause I confessed!! Thanks for listening!

Not to worry...we will soon be on some sort of maintenance, and we will learn to make spledid guilt-free truffles out of sugar-free natural peanut butter and unsweetened chocolate squares. And they will be heavenly. I promise.

Repeat after me: "If it's white, it ain't right..." sugar, flour, rice, potatoes, etc...

I swear when I get this weight off, I am NEVER getting on the sugar train again. It's disastrous for me.

Don't worry it happens, I kind of feel like I over ate today, a huge
salad twice , then a beef patty, still more salad it's like it was never enough
and i was hungry.
I will do better on Monday.

Well.... I got up this morning and started my period! Bingo!! That explains my inability to fight off the malted milk balls, cause normally sweet isn't my thing..... I have never been a sweet eater, with the exception of ice cream(I LOVE) so I just don't have it around! But yesterday, I was just like..... Then I get up and this, now it all makes sense to me!! But, I have been doing Atkins for 11 weeks, and with the exception of a few beers a couple weeks ago, I haven't cheated until yesterday, so I feel pretty good about things!! I am back on track today!!

Glad you're back on track...sweets ARE my thing, but I'm determined to beat the sugar monster on Atkins. My cravings are pretty much gone, but I know they're somewhere in my biological/psychological life. They're going to be lonesome for a long time!

Have a great week.

Hair chick so glad you are back on track. ( you have done well in 11 weeks congrats).

Sandy fanny you are so right I should not be hungry.
I am having a hard time spacing meals and snacks, and well I am kind of at a
loss with snacks, I have been just eating veggies. yesterday I even had a half cup of canned green beans as a snack. yikes
Any snack ideas ?

Snacks: I like black olives, cheese cubes, string cheese, sugar-free jello, any protein left over from a meal. My favorite snacks are these crispy cheese crackers from Linda's Low Carb recipe site:

And she has a whole section "Snacks" on her main recipe page. I haven't tried many of these, but they sound really good and have lots of potential for induction.

Report on the ones that're really yummy for induction Atkins, please. Happy Snackin'!
