I screwed up

[laura264]

Last week I proudly boasted on here about losing 2 1/2 lbs. in my first week of Induction. This week, I lost none but I didn't panic because I've read other posts stating the same thing. Well, I screwed up. First, let me say in my defense there's a ton to learn about the Atkins lifestyle and I missed something big. I replaced all my bad habit snacking with baby carrots. Plus, I've been shredding them on everything. Oh yeah, and eating them in my salads. I was even bragging today to my husband....who was eating soup with carrots in it. "You know honey, I kinda like all these carrots I've been eating lately."

So isn't it funny that while I'm sitting on the porch eating some carrots I finally read in one of the Atkins books I bought that you have to stay a mile away from carrots during Induction because they're loaded with starch.

Yep been there. Its a learning process. I have done atkins so many times cause I know it works and I still read the book over and over.

Well, carrots are hardly the worst thing you could eat. At last you'll be able to see in the dark!

Had to giggle out loud a that one! We all have been there and done that, maybe not with carrots but believe me, it happens all the time. This is a learning process and you just took one step forward. Now, hope you see more progress without the orange vege in your day!

thanks for the reassurance. So now that I've cut sugar completely out of my diet I don't have the slightest interest in a piece of cake or ice cream but I'd hurt someone for a darn carrot!! lol That has to be the strangest feeling I've ever had. But, I guess I should be proud of myself.

Been there, done that....keep my Atkins book close at all times and read and re-read. It takes a long time to get it right and I'm not there yet.

Loved what you said Odille: At last you can see in the DARK!!

Well, the truth is after a while little gigantic SNAFUs like that won'y matter much... BUT, during induction I'd get a copy of the Atkins book where he lists the exact food items that are allowed on induction and eat *only* those items, and not one thing else.

Of course, if you just now noticed, you couldn't have known. But for this two weeks (or two months?), I'd be ever so strict. It will pay off in the long run because it leads gracefully into OWL.

My Two Cents :^)
