Well, 3 weeks of Atkins down. I have to put so much thought into what I can eat and what to feed Abby and what to buy at the grocery store that it's become a bad hobby (obsession). I have dreams where I count carbs. Thinking about the food makes me want to eat. I assume when it becomes more of a natural lifestyle, I won't have to think about it. I haven't lost any weight since the first week though. They say it's harder for a woman, especially when she doesn't have much to lose. I only want to lose about 7 more pounds. I'm still eating just about 20 grams of carbs a day. I eat about 100g of fat a day. That sounds high, but I think I was eating in the 70's or so before, so it's not that big of a difference. I ate more cheese before and it has a ton of fat for such a litle amount. I also ate a lot of meat and olive oil before too. Now I eat more mayonnaise, bacon, and ham than I did before. But I'm eating lots of salads now. I average about 1600 calories a day. So you'd think I'd be dropping the pounds anyway. I have lost an inch each on my waist, hips, and thighs. The grocery bills have gone up though.
