it will get easier, it's just getting through the first couple of weeks. i wish you lots of will power!!! 

The first week is especially hard. If you stick to it 100% though, you will find that you feel much better a week later, and the hunger and cravings start to diminish. I know how hard it is to be a stay at home mom and also do atkins. My kids have all kinds of things I can't eat, and I can't just get it all out of the house. But I know how important this is to me, and my whole family, so when I am tempted I just think about how much they mean to me and that thing I wanted doesn't seem so hard to forgo.  

I know, I'm not doing so good either. I feel like Charlie Brown and just got the football pulled out from under me. AUGH!!!!! Dangit. 

You have such a beautiful face. Your makeup is flawless. Don't do like I did and get all depressed about gaining a few pounds. Get back on the wagon and fight the cravings. Get your body back! I plan to fight it to the end, I figure that I really do have that much time left to be young and beautiful and I am not going to let food, fat or anything else take up any of my years of looking hot. When I am 70 I want to look 50! I know it seems hard right now but this diet has been proven to work. You are no different for anyone else, it will work for you too.
