Well.. I called my sister in law last night to inform her of the reasons why not to eat the bars while in induction. Instead, when she answered the phone I could tell she was and had been crying, horribly upset about her weight, talking of all of the grim issues being so heavy is causing her, but just the same said she was not going to go through with Atkins, she was going to try the Weight Watchers route again. I told her that Weight Watchers was going to be more of an expense than Atkins, and since she had tried the WW route once before and the long run end result is her in tears with me on the phone, why not just give the Atkins a try, give it 14 days! She said she supposed that she would, but, I don't know. She said she could not fathem going so long without sweets and was feeling like a failure. I told her she was only a failure if she did not try, and to get up this morning, fix her up some scrambled eggs with cheese.. get herself cleaned up and go to the grocery store and buy her some real food, not that frozen WW stuff and give it a go! I assured her that if she just stuck with it for 2 weeks, she would find her cravings for sweets not to be so much of an issue anymore. She assured me that she felt she owed it an attempt and that she would call me this evening to let me know how her first day went.
She had called here the other night, said she was jumping on the Atkins bandwagon and was excited about it! She had decided this on her own, someone had given her a Atkins book she had been reading, she was pumped up! Then, overnight, well... I don't know what happened. *sigh* I know folks need to do things when on their own time, when they are ready. I sure hope she decides to go for it, I know she would not be disappointed if she would just give it a shot.
Ok, well... thanks just the same for all of the info on the bars, I at least learned something new out of it...
