Well, I am in a much better mood today than compared to this time yesterday. I was able to stay on plan without getting discouraged or giving up. Plus, I stayed within my NC and RDI limits. I should've eaten some more veggies today though. But it was hard because I had no veggies to pack for lunch. I will have to make up for it tomorrow.

Probably the best accomplishments of the day though were being able to NOT eat any Atkins bars/shakes and not consuming any artificial sweeteners. Instead of having an Atkins dessert I made a huge mug of caffeine free apple cinnamon herbal tea. I really wanted some sugar free jello, but it still has a couple more hours to set in the fridge. Looks like I'll have some for tomorrow though.

Overall, feeling much more optimistic. :)

PS - This community really helped me through my funk yesterday. I couldn't have done it without everyone.

Weighed in this morning... Gained 2 lbs for the week. I'm so so mad! I stuck to the diet even for the holiday and logged everything and still a gain. Ugh. I hope it's not because of this site/app. Just started it 6 days ago and boom, gain. But I don't think it could be the site because everything seems way more accurate than the Carb Manager I was using. Idk. I'm just so frustrated. I took my frustration out on John (my fiancé) all day. Then this afternoon I had to lay down because I was so upset. It took me about 2 hrs of laying there to calm down. I just don't know how to get past this. I'm so ready to give up, but I'm 85 lbs from my goal. And I want to be back to my old weight from when I was in college. I need to do this for my self-esteem. It's so low right now. And, I've been so crabby today because of the weight gain that I couldn't even enjoy Christmas music and decorations (the two things I wait for all year). This is just terrible. Idk what to do. It has been 4 weeks since I started Atkins and now I'm only netting 9 pounds lost for the whole month. The other members of the Atkins forums have lost 15 pounds in just two weeks. How do they do it? Why do I log and stick to plan on a major holiday only to gain weight?!

Thanksgiving was pretty much a success. I only went over my NC by about 3. For this week my average caloric intake was right under 1800, which is the top of where I need to be. The only thing I am really still struggling with is the artificial sweeteners. They are so addicting! It's so weird to me to not be able to drink so much zero carb stuff like Diet Coke and Crystal Light. But, I have to be strong so I can keep losing weight. When I do my weekly weigh-in tomorrow morning, I will see what the verdict is on the usage of the artificial sweeteners. I went over on them about 3 days this week, so I really hope that my weight loss hasn't been stalled by them.

Well, weigh-in day is tomorrow. I guess I will have to see how my Thanksgiving week played out. I have really been struggling this week with 'feeling' like I'm not losing weight. I think it's because I lost so much in the beginning, so it feels like I'm going nowhere right now because my pants don't feel loser and my belt hasn't moved...

I wish the Low-Carb group was a little more active. I'm really wanting to connect with some fellow low-carbers...

Well, since switching from the Carb Manager app to FatSecret I have been much more conscious of staying towards my RDI. Up until yesterday I had been simply focusing on how many net carbs a day I was eating. Now that the calorie count is more prominent on the screen I pay more attention to it. Boy, was it a wake up call. I stayed under my recommended net carbs, but my RDI was WAY over. It was such a shock. No wonder I only lost 2 pounds last week. Geez.

I really have to get a handle on these artificial sweeteners. I had 32 ounces of diet coke today AND an Atkins Endulge PB Cup. I know that about 12 ounces of diet soda counts as an artificial sweetener, and I know the treats count as one too, so I think I basically had 4 servings today. I'm just so used to having a sweet treat after dinner. And, then yesterday I had an extra one because it was TOM and I was craving chocolate.

I hope I can make it through Thanksgiving tomorrow. I think I'm going to bring an Atkins treat with me for dessert. Otherwise I'll give into the temptation of cakes and pies.

I made some great grilled spicy Asian chicken tonight. I used crushed red pepper, garlic powder, soy sauce and sriracha. I then wrapped it in roasted seaweed. I'll definitely be making it again. Much better than eating salad with deli meat all the time.

Welp, I guess I'll check back in tomorrow evening with my success (hopefully) of getting through the day. I'm getting pretty used to this low-carb thing, so I don't think I'll be as tempted. Being thinner is much more appealing than any pumpkin pie, imo.
