Multiplicity1's Journal, 19 May 10

Tonight a friend asked me to explain Atkins to her. She tried to find one of our new books at a used book store so I told her I would give her my copy of the old book so she can try Atkins. I tried to explain the plan but she loves fruit and milk so I don't know if she will be able to stick it out. I explained no fruit in the first two weeks and she said OK. She is pre-diabetic and could really use this plan. I was really proud that someone used me as an example to follow. My friends are now recommending Atkins because of my weight loss. Before I started they were mostly critical of it. The funny thing was I was tempted to eat pie tonight because I was stuck waiting at the restaurant by myself when I was hungry. I just hurried and ordered and ate what I planned so I made it through OK. Tonight I did not plan very well which is not good so when I tried to eat I was too hungry and making less than perfect choices. I had about 27 carbs but my calories were OK. I ate some Ry Krisp crackers tonight and I am starting to feel some cravings. They were no big thrill - not worth the carbs - I'd rather have fruit.
I shouldn't have tried a new food tonight because I had cravings last night also and I haven't narrowed down the source yet although I think it was the almonds. I just wanted something to put the peanut butter on. So now it's 12:30 and I've eaten everything I should and I am craving food. Oh well. I'll just go to bed.
