The really cool thing about Atkins is you are allowed to eat really great foods that you were denied in the past making you eat foods that helped get you to the overweight status.

Just eat whenever you want, eat the right food and lose weight. I too LOVE food, more the texture than anything. I enjoy some foods merely because they feel good in the mouth and offer some bite or crunch.

Okay, I never said I was not a strange one.....okay.

As far as cheating is concerned. Who really cares if you cheat or whatever you call it. In the end, the only person that should care is yourself. If you think it is okay to eat whatever you want, that is not a cheat. It's just what it is......

So eat, be happy, share the smaller you with the larger them and show yourself you can do it.

Can I get an Amen?
