Boy, do I emphathize with you!! I got a stomach virus this last Tuesday, and went to chicken noodle soup and toast - all I could keep down. Now I've graduated to cereal, cokes, sandwiches, chips and other carby stuff. I have told myself firmly today that I am getting back on Atkins. I love the way I look 25 lbs lighter; I remind myself how much better I feel on Atkins. I also tell myself it's OK to fall off the wagon as long as I dust off and hop right back on. I WILL NOT get caught up in that circle of blame that leads me to overeating just because I did it this once. You can do it too. What ever it takes for you to recapture that feeling you had when you first started low-carbing and lost weight. Remember how great that felt? Life can be that good again. Hang in there. There's no race to lose weight - just slow and steady does it.
