So far on Atkins I've been eating simple foods (I don't enjoy cooking or experiementing). I love cheesecake and was reading the different recipes on the dessert forum. Some of them sounded delicious, others made them and said they were great too.

As I was reading though, I realized that if I made one of those cheesecakes, and if it was delicious, that I would probably binge and eat the entire thing, lo carb or not.

What does that mean as far as my eating and my body type? I've been reading all the different books and never quite understand that whole insulin reaction process, carb addictions, etc.

I know that I'm not safe around a "so-called" safe lo-carb dessert at this time. Is this going to eventually backfire and send me on a carb binging feast? And how do we get to the point where we can safely eat something again? Maybe it's just a point of control. I drank that Margarita the other night, just one small one (lots of carbs though), but I didn't want a second, nor did I want sweets.

It's just that I don't understand why the thought of the lo-carb pumpkin cheesecake has made me want it enough to know I'd probaby eat it all.

Yea, I'm rambling....it's just that the realization is starting that this is a long road ahead of me, and temptations will always be there.
