Hi All, (sorry this is a bit long - emotional day)

I am asking your opinion on the wrong area of this site ...but I truly value and respect your input through the past week of using this area of the forum.

My entire life from the time I was a kid I've always craved and ate nothing but cereal, bread, pasta, pancakes, bagels, pasta, candy, doritos, etc.

I was the kid who would complain when my mother made steak or pot roast because it was fatty, and it had to be cooked well, or I would not eat it. The only kind of meat I'd eat and enjoy was ground beef. I had no problem not eating dinner, and then sneaking into the kitchen at night and eating half a loaf of wonderbread.

Adkins has made me completely STOP craving anything in the above list.

I've only been doing this for a week and I feel obsessive / out of control. I've lost about 7 pounds sofar, and gone down a pant size. Am I the only one who feels they may have a problem? Is this normal? The fact that I don't want or crave junk makes me wonder if I'm developing a eating problem or something of the like. Also, I don't love the food I'm eating...but I'm eating it because it satisfies me afterwards and I'm feeling better. Also, I'm not really hungry all the times I eat. I know these are symtoms of the diet - but it's very foreign to me & I really am worried. I'm thinking - is this what happens to anorexics or bulemics??

Could you please let me know how you all felt emotionally in the beginning? I appreciate your reading this.

THanks in advance for your thoughts!
