Wonderful thread! Thank you everyone!

Mistakes:
#1: Weighing myself everyday, sometimes many times a day!
#2: Giving up when the scale had not moved after three days!
#3: Too many "mock" recipes instead of real food
#4: Listening to everyone else's opinion about Atkins, and how they read "somewhere" that it was bad-In other words, feeeling like I have to justify my reasons for doing the WOL...
#5: Allowing myself to believe that this one time won't hurt ;
#6: Eating HC food someone else has prepared because I did not want to hurt their feelings;
#7: Eating whatever was served to me at a recent family gathering because I did not want to attract too much attention and too shameful to request something I sould have eaten... I still don't know what I am shameful about???

Maybe I am scared of failure and if this fails, I don't want a bunch of people telling me "I told you so" or "this diet of yours is unrealistic" or a bunch of crap like that when they are not there to help and support me to begin with!
