Hi everyone! I am so glad I found this forum! The last few days I have been looking through posts and have learned a lot. Also everyone seems very supportive of eachother, which is great. I tried Atkins several years ago but quit after a couple months. I am to the point now where I need to not only lose weight but change to a healthy way of eating. So hopefully, this time around will be for the long haul...
I am on day 6. I feel great and my carb cravings are gone. It is Easter tomorrow and I have unquestionably NO craving for the chocolate, peeps, etc that are to go in my daughters Easter baskets!!! ( Honestly... they are like 3 feet away from me... a huge bag full ). Now THAT is progress, since chocolate and sweets were my downfall.
I sure hope this " paradise " period lasts... I am sure using this site will help keep the motivation level up [ / icon_biggrin. gif]

Yep, I have 3 bags of Easter stuff for my 3 kids in my bedroom closet, haven ' t even thought about it ( well, maybe the peeps a little bit [ / icon_lol. gif] ) This time last year I would have had 1 / 2 the bags of stuff opened already [ / icon_redface. gif]

Welcome! Thankfully, we have no candy filled Easter baskets around here. You are so strong - I have really been craving candy lately - Twizzlers and gummy bears are my weakness. [ / icon_redface. gif] I am going to cheat a bit and have some red wine with dinner. It ' s been 3 months for me so I deserve it!
