FYI I also just ate a square of cadburys caramel - I'm so weak!

 

[stubbsey]

Oh dear! Step away from the chocolate! Wait til christmas when we can all get sick of it! Then kick it into touch! Maybe you could have a go at making the cocoa bark for the times you feel weak! Xx

 

[moonlights]

Yes, make cocoa bark or hot choc with alpro unsweetened soya milk if you're desperate- though it's really best to get away from eating even chocolate substitutes for the first few weeks.

Hi Shelby.

All I can do is tell you two things - Atkins, when you stick to the plan, is brilliant for binge eaters. The longer you're in ketosis the less you crave sugar - or even really like it. Over on another forum there are several binge eaters who find as long as they avoid carbs, they don't binge. The same is true for me, and I used to have outrageous binges.

The second thing is that if you're not able to control the carb binges, Atkins is pretty awful. High fat/low carb is a great diet. High fat/high carb is the fastest way possible to put on weight. Atkins works great but only if you're able to stick to it. It's not friendly to people who can't, for whatever reason.

If you need to sort your head out before you can stick to a plan, that's nothing to feel bad about. You need to do what's right for you. Atkins will always be here.

Thankyou for taking the time to leave a message, I completly agree with you and everything you said. I know I really need to address my binges and the root causes, its like you say atkins will always be here and I think if I can control my binging I would get on quite well on the diet. Will still be popping on here for sure cause there's some great people on here.

(hugs) deciding to do something about your depression is already one big step when the nature of the beast means it can be difficult to motivate yourself at all. I hope your docs can give you the support you need to feel better in yourself xx

 

[jerricebenton]

I was a binge eater, and this WOE seems to be curing it for me I really didnt think Id see the day that happened!

 

[stubbsey]

maybe that is the best thing then Shelby, until maybe after christmas x we and atkins will still be here for your resolutions xx

 

[ladyfelsham]

All the best, Shelby - and big hugs - from someone who regularly falls off the wagon xxx
