Don't feel bad FA. I went through the same thing. I was looking great and feeling great when I was living in Spartanburg, S.C.. When I moved back to Cincinnati, I got caught up in being busy all the time and slowly let sugar creep back into my life. Pretty soon I was not feeling as good, looking as good, and getting those lovely mid-day energy drops. I finally got on the scale and saw to my horror that I was back up to 187 where I started. Been back on Atkins a week and I am already back down to 183 and feeling much better. I am starting to workout and lift weights again which makes me feel good as well. I think sometimes we just forget how bad we felt until we slip back a little bit. I recently read "The Diet Cure" by Julia Ross and have been incorporating Amino Acids in my diet to get rid of the carbo cravings. Check out something called "Bragg's Liquid Amino's". I can't say enough about the product. Good Luck
