Unhappy withdrawl

Oh yes, withdrawl. *shudder* Scary time for me. I started Atkins on a Saturday, which btw, was a bad idea, & on Tuesday I was in withdrawl. It started with a headache, then I was shaky, had difficulty climbing stairs, was quite unsteady & spacy, could not get my balance all day, & was very jittery. It was like all my senses were working overtime. I read in the book I had all the symptoms! This was the only day I ever felt like that in my life. This only lasted one day. By the end of the week, I was back to my normal self. The sugar was out of my system I found the cravings did not come during my Induction, but they did come later! Once I got just a small taste of something with sugar, that was it! Gimme more! Now my bf who started at the same time as me did not suffer withdrawl. He was one of fortunates who was not addicted to sugar, so he did not have to overcome that.

It does get better!
