Beth,

I'm so glad you're getting to go visit your mom! Especially since she's been doing Atkins for awhile. The longer you are living with this style of eating, the more creative you become, which provides the variety that is NECESSARY to enjoy this WOL. Have you noticed that your appetite has decreased? That alone is such a wonderful advantage to this WOL! Also, chromium picolinate supplements have really helped me with sweet cravings (along with the recipes I have devised for cheesecake and chocolate whipping cream!!).

Good luck and enjoy your visit to your mom!

Anna
