i started atkins 2 weeks ago and wondering if the cravings will ever really go away. i understand how addicted i am to sugar and am willing to keep trying. i do know i need support so i am grateful for finding this board. this week i am committed to getting more exercise in, i want to see more movement on the scale. i keep reading about how this diet isn't restrictive. but i feel like i am depriving myself all the time.. is that just my addiction talking? also, i get bored easily because there are a few foods i just won't eat... i hate eggs! so breakfast gets boring. and my other concern is the expense of buying atkins food. i am going to be unemployed as of june 6 and the cost of the mixes is starting to feel prohibitive. any suggestions? i don't want to give up.
