I'm back and all is fine.

Thanks Buffy and Gwen for your concerns, much appreciated.

What a mess the weekend was. Overnight 28 inches of snow.
All went fine, I did not have a power outage though our community was hit pretty hard. The cable and therefore the internet gave out Friday afternoon, actually pretty early. iPhone is nice but still not a real solution. At least I was able to stay in touch with the world.
Eating went well, as I said before, did not have anything dangerous in the house. Bad part was, I did not move much. Was kind of the situation where you just want to snuggle up and relax. And that I did.

I was supposed to weigh in, stepped on the scale and almost fell off. I don't think it was correct. So, it has to wait a little bit longer.

The whole thing made me think, especially since Buffy is fighting so hard as well. Despite what they say I am sure calories count, cont more than it's said. If I don't watch them, I will not lose weight. So, Atkins is actually not different form any other diet or changes in lifestyle.
I am not going to switch to anything else since I know I feel a lot better with this way of eating. Also, it is a step to a healthier lifestyle, incorporating healthy foods and exercise.

I am aware that I neglected that all my life, maybe it has somehow to do with the way I was brought up or it is a flaw in my character. Sports/exercise was/is just not so much my thing. That's how it was all my life and it will take a long time before I can change it. Here applies the same thing we say about our weight - we did not gain it all overnight, how can we expect to lose it overnight. I will try, nothing else I can do and hopefully I will succeed.

Now I have to make a confession - I had one (1) Oreo cookie today.

This is something I still have not figured out how to stop it. Whenever I have finished a meal I have a craving for something sweet. Try to compensate with coffee or tae slightly sweetened with Splenda but it makes me think. Where is this coming form. I do have veggies with the meals, so there are carbs for my body to use. Why something sweet?
