I got really smug, comfortable with these way of eating, and then slipped off the curb and headed up the high carb highway. Funny way of saying - DON'T CHEAT! Sorry, I didn't mean to yell. All I know is, one little cheat for me spells disaster. As Dr. Atkins says, "Just one bite can be the kiss of death". I've been in some bad situations, too, but in the end you're the only one who can control what goes in and out of your mouth (OK - I'm preaching to myself here, check my journal). Every time you slip it's that much harder to go back to the straight and narrow. I'm sorry if I seem so mean, it's just that I'm struggling with the same issues.
