Determination not Temptation
Hi folks,
I feel that I am very lucky. I read all around these forums about people being tempted by foods that are not Low Carb. I made a concious decision on Jan 6 2003 that I was going to change my way of life. That meant cutting out cereal, bread, cakes, crisps and sweets and eating Low Carb. I could see myself piling on the pounds but denying that I had a real problem. At Christmas,when I saw my 3 kids having such fun it finally sunk in that this was what was important in my life. If I kept on eating the same amount of junk I wouldn,t be around to see them grow up and have kids of their own. From that day on I can honestly say that I have an enormous amount of determination to succeed. I am the only person in my house doing Atkins, so believe me there are times when chocolate is paraded in front of me. I know that if I cheat I am only cheating myself, so I don't. After my evening dinner I know that I am finished for the night. I used to drink a few pints of beer each night as well. I haven't had one alchohol drink now since I started in January. Thank You to all my friends on this forum, you are my inspiration and you give me so much support. Determination not Temptation.
Regards
Kenny
