I can completely understand it. I just got through induction- yesterday. I was afraid I would do something like this.........b/c I can easily overindulge in some carbohydrate love- like potato chips!

Anyway- a couple of times this week when I was contemplating doing that...and going off the Atkins and craved carbohydrates- I made a cup of decaffinated tea and headed to the computer...I found that reading through the forums really helped to support me...and managed me through the "binge" urge....and I felt so much better for it.

It is partly necessary to break "cues" and habits that throw us into a binge. For me, going to the computer- offered support and a behavioral intervention to interrupt the urge. The big plus was I also learned a alot by the reading of the forum....the recipes, the support and words of advice...are excellent...

Just thought it might work for you next time!
(a kind of support group)

HOpe you are now on track...and don't beat yourself up...we all do it.
