Hello All!!!

I restarted atkins about 2 hours ago. My Body is telling me to reach for those carbs!!! Im resisting though!!! I stopped atkins because I had surgery on my mouth, but im restartning it against the advice of my dentist, because im Miserable! I hate feeling fat and miserable!!! I gained back like 45 lbs!!! im exhausted all the time, and i just have an overall crappy feeling... I hate this. I know its gonna be a bad week, because of the carb withdrawl, but im hoping to feel much better after i drop a couple of LBS!! Thanks for listening!

    Good luck! One day at a time, or maybe even one meal at a time. It gets easier.

    Good luck! You did fantastic last time, you know how to do it and you WILL do it again! I've restarted about a week ago. I already feel much better! My main thing is having good, low carb treats available. HAve you made the low carb muffin cheese cakes?

    It's as bad as you tell yourself it is. Arm yourself with bullion cubes and drink up. It'll be over before you know it!

    Glad you're feeling better! Don't forget Atkins.com has free recipes and will even generate free menus based on your Atkins stage, food preferences and carb level.
