You get what you give. You reap what you sow. What goes around comes around. Etc., Etc., Etc.,

So, how many times in the course of 18 months do you suppose I have gotten on my soapbox about LEARNING!

INVEST in YOURSELF! Do some reading. Look up answers to your questions. If something is not working for you...for goodness sake's...don't just whine about it... LOOK FOR ANSWERS!

Low Carb Eating (ie: Atkins) WORKS! But you have to 'work it'. You can't cheat your way out of it. You can't find every substitute under the sun for every thing you are supposed to be changing.

You actually have to LEARN what this plan says to do... and follow it.

Don't mean to be edgy tonight... just see the same rinse and repeat with new people all the time! And this is NOT where I started.

I wanted to know how this worked. And I wanted to make this work for ME. If that meant it said drink my water...then by all means...I drank my water! (and I still do!)

Ok, you don't want to drink water for the rest of your life! Save yourself now, and stop doing Atkins! (well, honestly, I don't know once you get to maintenance if you can lighten up on the water or not...as I am so used to drinking it now...I prefer it.)

But you get my point.

Oh, I couldn't possibly go without _________ (fill in the blank!) REALLY? Then calorie count!

I got nothing else.

Have a great night! Much Love.

Paula - To be honest with you, sometimes I think if I had to give up coffee I couldn't do it.

Buffy - I am totally being honest with you - if I had to give up coffee, I am not sure I could do it either! (thank God I didn't have to). I've changed a lot of things...but that's not one of them. Of course, I drink mine black. And infrequently. But still...

I agree with you, I have had to give up things I didn't think I could have. But so far since the beginning of Feb when I started the Atkins way I have really surprised myself and have. I really thought as I like milk and a half spoon of sugar in my tea that I would miss tea to much. But I did and I have got over it, don't even think about tea. There are lots of other things to that I never thought I could give up, but yes I did, it doesn't bother me at all....I feel so much better that is such a great pay off, apart from the weight loss. Well said!!
