No worries... been there, done that! Like black 57 says, forget about it and get back on track... and I think the difficult thing for people (me included) to realize is that it's a *lifelong* change of eating habits, not a temporary diet.

However you decide to lose weight, either through Atkins or something else, it's something you have to be able to live with.

I've found that if I prepare meals in advance it really helps. I'm a huge fan of chicken and tuna salad, and I also make my own little sugar-free chocolate snacks. Anyway, this helps in two ways: 1st: I have tasty LC food (and snacks) available when I get hungry, and 2nd: These things take time to prepare, and I *hate* to see my cooking efforts wasted, so that helps a lot.

Again though, don't look backward. Look forward, and enjoy the journey... that's the best part! If you're like me, you might gain some powerful insights on the way.

Best wishes,
Mark
