Thoughts to ponder

Just realize this diet is forever.  What tastes good enough that is worth the weight gain?  There are low carb variations of almost everything, sometimes even multiple variations.  This way of eating is easy once you find replacements for your favorites.  I cheated twice in a week (one cheat led to another) and it made me gain 4 pounds.  The time I spent losing that gained weight, I lost time on my weight loss.  Think how good you will feel with that weight gone! It will allow you to do more activities, wear more fashionable styles, gain confidence, lower your risk for cancers/dieses/illnesses/etc - in turn, increasing your lifespan, which will also allow you to spend more time with friends and family. It's not always initially easy starting something new, knowing you have to be committed, but give the Atkins diet a chance and some time, it will be worthwhile.

Russell Stover's Sugar Free Candies

I must say - I'm in love with these candies, they taste great!  You an consume normally about 3 pieces or so of the candies for only 1 carb.  While I wish they made the candies with stevia, they are sweetened with splenda.  If you have a sweet tooth, these are perfect, instead of pigging out on full carb candies.  I swear, between my salt and vinegar pork rinds and these candies, i can't believe i'm able to lose weight, tastes too good to be true!
