Crack or Steroids??

I'm not familiar with Atkins, but was discussing the MWL method to a friend and they said it sounded like "Atkins on Crack."

I couldnt help but laugh... and added, maybe its more like Atkins on Steriods, and we both had a good giggle.

Either way, coming from a hispanic background, giving up carbs was a hard thing to do. I find myself starting to head towards the rice pot before the beef or veggies, even though I know I'm on this plan. It's a force of habit, and that's the thing I have to change - my habit.

Hopefully, when I'm on maintenance, it wont be overwhelming to add the carbs back into my lifestyle and I'll be able to stay within my ranges.

This weekend was good, I was able to avoid dipping into the candy dish and I'm EXTREMELY proud of myself for that. The next day however, they served Angel Food cake at a dinner I was at. Boy - it's got to be cake for me. That's my weakness, I know it. So, for now, I just look away or go into the other room until everyone is done.

How will I be able to incorporate cake back in when I'm on maintence without over indulging??

I'll find out when I reach that hurdle Im sure.
