Hi.

I have been checking out this forum but have not had time to say hi.

I find that when I eat something I know I shouldn't have, I tell Mom (who is also on Adkins) and she, knowing how it is, will tell me it's ok just start again.

Christmas I did splurg and ate the stuffing etc. I even tried some of the cookies that I slaved over and I thought they were way too sweet and I couldn't even finish one cookie. I also noticed that when I do cheat, those foods that I thought I was craving so badly don't taste as good as I remember them.

I do find that when I am out working for the day and get hungry it is hard to pass up the fast food, but when I do and just pop into a store and quickly grab a lunchmeat and maybe string cheese it's not exactly what I wanted but it stops my hunger.

So for me, confessing that I messed up helps. Then I just start again.

Have a great day!
