If you do the emotional, PMS thing, eat pizza and drink beer and eat candy bars, you'll feel pretty poorly about yourself tomorrow on top of having the domestic troubles. That is something hard to control, OTOH, you can control what you put into your body. If you end up having an Atkins day, think of how much stronger (mentally) and physically better you'll feel tomorrow.

I lost my consulting job the fourth month into Atkins (after that, I chose to stop working). I remember telling my husband that if I was having weight issues on top of the prospects of not being employed (I had already lost about fifteen lbs.), it would have REALLY been a bummer.

Sorry things are crazy at home. I have yet to deal with that turmoil, as my daughter is just four years old.

Remember, be strong, keep up Atkins today, you'll feel much better tomorrow for it.
