I completely understand what you're talking about. My hubby said the same thing. This is my second attempt at Atkins. The first time I lost 26 pouinds and then got bored. I didn't realize there were so many things out there I could eat. I thought I was stuck with meat, cheese and eggs. Yuck! I started again on 3-8 and when he tried to get me to eat something a couple of days later, I told him I can't eat that and his response was what diet are you on this time. He's sooooooo supportive! NOT! He says it's not what I eat that counts, what really matters is what I do. I should stay busy all day and I'll lose all that I want! Now he's part of my motivation to prove him wrong!!

Good Luck on your diet!
