I have been going strong on Atkins for about 8-9 months now and have lost 80+ pounds. There have been bumps in the road but I have done pretty well. I hardly EVER cheated...cheats have slowly become more frequent "(a couple of slices of pizza won't hurt, I NEVER cheat...a bite of this peanut butter cup is only like 1 carb...I don't feel like cooking so I'll just eat _____") You know the drill, I'm sure we've all done it a few times.
I feel invincible after losing so much weight but I really want to meet goal. Today I ate kinda badly...1 3/4 Atkins bars (which I try to avoid but I bought some because I was having cravings, imagine that). Broccoli salad (on-plan), mexican broccoli slaw (on-plan) and too much artificial sweetener (not really on-plan). I had a snacky hunger itch that wouldn't go away for just baked cheese crisps or veggies with ranch so I ate 1/2 a bag of movie theater butter popcorn (SO not on-plan). I feel really guilty...lately I've been eating hardly any veggies and giving in to cravings.
I am moving out of my parents house to a city across the country in 3 weeks and I am so incredibly nervous/stressed about it. I also want to lose as much weight as possible before I move and I think it might be backfiring...am I putting too much pressure on myself?
