I love your responses. Especially yours asalvato. I think your response is appropriate in the way it is not a cheat. I do need to look at this as way of life and eating. Not a temporary thing. I have not done any binge eating since I have started Atkins and have not really had the urge too. Although I do like nibbles and such of some higher carb foods. But the important thing I think is too stay in control and not regret it.
