Hey Leenie, I understand going over on calories, especially when it's cold like that. I know when its really cold here we are all so much hungrier. I don't know if its cause you want to warm up, or bec you're burning more calories trying to stay warm or what, but it has got to be hard to stay low calorie up north when its cold! But still, you're calories weren't bad, but I know they were up a little more then you wanted.

Yes....I'm thinking. Basically I'm already doing Sugarbusters (which is just like South Beach as far as I can see, except that there is no stages, but maybe somebody knows something I don't know), so I'm thinking about giving Atkins another go.

Right now I'm just trying to figure out if I can really give Atkins all I've got, while I am so busy taking care of my mom's family. Along with taking care of my grandmother, now my grandfather (her hubby) has lung canger, and is having 1/4th of his lung removed on Tuesday, with a 6 week recovery. I know I can only take it one day at a time, but I'm just trying to take everything in and giving it all some thought.

Life is never dull is it!

hugs,
cathy

Leenie,
I have a big problem with night time snacking also.That is why I consume most of my calories I think. Tonight I have had at least 10 or 12 Murrays Sugar Free ginger snaps with my hot tea. What has helped you cut back on this bad habit? I'm open to all suggestions. Also have problem with eating during the wee hours when I can't sleep.
