...weight losers, that is! I hope to proudly be one of you, too!

I'm starting Atkins induction again *today* because I've been unimpressed with my latest South Beach attempt. I have lost about 2 lbs, but don't feel much different yet. I hope ketosis arrives quickly--I desperately need the psychological boost of purple!

My main problem seems to be limiting veggie intake: I have a hard time eating a meal of all meat and fat, and quickly get sick of eggs. I always feel the need to mix my meats with veggies of some kind, to mitigate the richness. So I'm worried that I'm stalling myself with them. I'm talking about the good veggies, like lettuce, cabbage, broccoli, greens, etc.

My other problem is coffee: I'm too addicted to go cold-turkey, so I'm mixing half regular and half decaf, but still only drinking the same usual amount. Hopefully that will help me wean myself from it. Suffering through cold-turkey just isn't an option I'm willing to consider as a full-time student, part-time employee....no time for the headaches and grumpy lethargy!
