Hi Dixie Girl, Just wanted to offer a note of encouragment. You can succeed with this way of eating. I have been delighted with the results over the past 3+ months. The great thing is that I just got back from a week's vacation where I ate several things not on Atkins (not everyday) and did not gain any weight back. Was also pleased that having a few extra carbs did not trigger a desire to go back to the old way - in fact, I was really glad to go back to strickly meat and veggies. Hang in there and keep the goal in mind!

Cindy
