Good Morning Atkins Gals!
I've been up since 3:00 a.m. doing some heavy duty thinking (yes, I know you thought you smelled something burning). You know, I've done this WOE before, and for extended periods of time (like 2 years!), and I've just found out I goofed. I am an avid, high quantity coffee drinker and it was just brought to my attention that coffee is about .8 gms of carbs a cup. Now how the **** did I miss that one? Could it be that I just didn't WANT to know?
Conundrum.....what to do, what to do? Well, I've made a very important decision. I've given up so many things I love, and am actually doing quite well on the program, so I'm sticking with my coffee. Yes, I need my daily fix, and then some. You know, I've been trying to stick from between 5-10 carbs daily in order to speed up the weight loss for this family wedding in April. I'm taking all the right supplements, my system is happy, and the weight is coming off. So, I'm just going to have to come to grips with the fact that I'm actually consuming more like 20 carbs daily. But, for now, the coffee stays. If that has to go, I simply don't think I could continue!!!! I've given up sweets, breads, started exercising, etc., and I'm as committed as they come. But take away the java and I might get ugly.
Hope everyone enjoys this holiday!!!
