You have been given some really good advice here!

I would like to share my story of "cheating" I started Atkins Nov 2, 2002, I stayed on plan faithfully for 5 months Mar 2003 lost 38 pounds. Then I got sloppy with watching what I ate, thinking oh this cheat did not add that much gain so this time it won't hurt again...I have too much to loose to get this lacks this soon but for some reason, I knew back in my mind that Atkins worked and I needed to be back on it. But I didn't hear or want to hear the little voice in my mind.... I kept doing it my way.... I would have been at goal by now if I would have listened.

Someone on this board has a signature line that reads:
"Nothing taste as good as thin feels"

I keep playing this in my head now, and I keep coming to the boards...And it seems to keep me on track now.

Only you can decide if it is worth it...and I agree with whoever said "If you cheat who are you cheating?"

Best Wishes
Julie

P.S. I vote for no cheats
