Today was my 5th day on Atkins and I have had super major withdrawals from bread and sugars but I have followed the plan exactly. It really made me realize that what I have been putting in my body for a zillion years have been almost exclusively carbs.

Today I almost didn't make it. It was quilt class and I foolishly didn't have much breakfast and no lunch. And I was completely dehydrated. Only one cup of tea at 10am. Just got so involved, that I didn't take a break. So feeling tired and dizzy I pulled into MsDonald's and ordered a Quarter Pounder. When I opened the package I was ready to wolf it down. But I really LOOKED at it.. And calmed myself....And realized I was STILL stronger than the urge for bread. So I ate the burger and tossed the rest. Boy, did I come close!!!

I came home and ate sensibly and drank lots of water. That near miss reminds me that I am a carb addict and my mind will try to seduce me into feeding it what it thinks it needs.

Today willpower was all that held me on track. I was soooooo close to cheating......
