I am starting to drink more water, and keeping the crystal light to about 3 16oz glasses per day. the water actualy makes me feel lighter ( its all in my mind i know this, but hey it works for me) as for the atkins bars once i eat one im fine for the night i never was one for sweets, I have been a salt junkie instead. The only reason I even started buying those bars was because I wanted some kind of snack but even though they are good i am not finding myself craving them; The only thing i miss is real coke, chips with dip and of course beer on saturday nights. I thought Pizza would be difficult to give up but it wasn't, I have been craving Taco Bell for a couple days but I think I will survive.
