Affirmation of Atkins WOE
I have already posted this in my journal, but thought it might be a good idea to post it here too, so that other Atkins followers can make their own affirmations as well 
Quote:
... from Dana Carpender's Hold The Toast ezine
I hope that you, as a low carb dieter, have not been taken in by this fear-mongering. Not only is there no reason to believe Dr. Atkins died from the effects of his low carbohydrate diet, there are several recent, well-conducted medical studies backing up everything Dr. Atkins claimed for his diet: That it was effective not only for weight loss without hunger, but for improving cholesterol and triglyceride numbers, too.
If you still have any lingering doubts, ask yourself: Am I more or less healthy since I started my low carbohydrate diet? Have I lost weight? Do I feel better? Do I have more energy? Does my blood work look good? Is my blood sugar stable? Because that, my friends, is the bottom line.

Am I more or less healthy since I started my low carbohydrate diet?
DEFINITELY MORE - I feel much, much healthier - no more IBS, no more indigestion, TOM/PMS not such a problem etc.
Have I lost weight?
YES - it is slower this time round, but I know that it is happening.
Do I feel better?
ABSOLUTELY - I feel great!
Do I have more energy?
POSITIVELY - my incredible energy was part of the reason why my DH decided to low carb as well (he is doing it as a healthy, rather than a weight loss woe).
Does my blood work look good?
UNQUESTIONABLY - my ratios are perfect and my doctor is extremely pleased.
Is my blood sugar stable?
CERTAINLY - which means my hormones are balanced, so no more huge mood swings.
... and as for the bottom line ... that's definitely getting smaller and toned too
