Default Please don't hate me....

For some reason when I started this WOE it has kicked my metabolism into overdrive. I recently graduated college and I was not very "atkins friendly" a few days the past couple of weeks. A lot of drinking, some pizza eating, basically cheating left and right. I still managed to get some exercise, and when I went to weigh myself for the first time in a couple of weeks I had actually lost weight! The loss has slowed, to about 2 lbs a week (although i think i have now stalled because my roommate talked me into eating chinese food) but with college over I think it should be easy for me to keep losing and stick with the diet. I also dont get this "carb headache" some have mentioned getting after cheating. Is there anyone else on this forum like this? and am I going to learn the hard way that I am not super man?
PS started this WOE on Jan 21 at 341 lbs and am now down to 280- Thanks to all of you for all the tips so far!

cheating doesn't give me a headache either......actually I've never gotten any of the symptoms others have spoken of. I just don't like the taste anymore of half the "cheat" foods so it's become kind of pointless for me. I think it's just a difference in body chemistry.
