Glim, take care of yourself, hope you feel better soon.

Surfnmom, I had the same experience, dropping the artificial sweetners and especially diet coke has helped me walk past a lot of sweets.

Jo-Ann good for you and your plans to start an exercise program!

I need some help with planning. I'm going back to work after 3 weeks off. My job is kind of boring and stressful. Sometimes I have nothing to do for weeks at a time. They also supply us with all our meals and unlimited sodas, chocolate etc, which are to be avoided on Atkins. Any tips for avoiding the work foodtrap and the associated emotional eating?
