Induction aka Phase 1

Induction...what does that even mean? Am I being "inducted" into the rock and roll hall of fame? NO surely not! I am being inducted into a diet that might just put me over the edge. I'm not going to lie today was the first day and it was bloody hard. All I could think about was the valentines day suckers that we had to give away that I wanted to eat or the funfetti cake mix that I wanted to bake or really anything with sugar. I am definitely going through withdrawals! I am just craving just the teeniest bit of sugar on my tongue. I am a big gum chewer and we aren't allowed to have that in this phase. I am hoping that I will start to shed the pounds in the next couple of weeks and it will be worth the pain and suffering. According to the Atkins book you will lose on average 15 pounds in the first two weeks of the diet. The first 4 to 6 pounds will be lost in the first 3 days. I stepped on the scale tonight and no weight lost yet. I know I shouldn't be jumping the gun but today felt like it was a week long. Food is such a large part of my existence and I have gotten myself into some bad habits that I never realized how they really affect me. I am trying to stay positive and look towards a healthier me.
