I'm not perfect, but I haven't eaten ANYTHING that isn't part of the DANDR OWL in a year. I feel good. Haven't lost huge amounts of weight, but DANG I feel good. I'm afraid that if I let myself have that one piece of cake, or one cookie, or one Mt. Dew, I'm gonna blow everything I've accomplished in the last year and go back to being a horrible feeling slug. I don't want that. I have so much variety and so many good things to eat, that I just don't want to go back to being a carbaholic.
I spent my week of vacation up at my mom's painting and doing things around her house for her that she can't do for herself. I took my own veggies & fruits so I wouldn't convince myself I didn't have anything to eat. I love the wide variety of foods on Atkins OWL and honestly don't miss bread, pasta or the carbier veggies, let alone things like peas & beans. The one meal we did eat out I ordered a steak and made a pig of myself at the salad bar. Fortunately they did have cantaloup and strawberries at the dessert bar so I made out good there, too.
I won't say I'm not tempted, just that I won't let myself get sidetracked when I feel so darned good and know that my overall health has greatly improved.
