cheat or splurge?
Thanks Lisa,
I did not follow Atkins to a *T* but I thought I would get an idea of what I should be doing and then go from there. I mainly use Dana Carpenders book but I loaned it to a friend. (calling her soon)
I have added popcorn and I have ALWAYs had nuts but gone easy on the fruit. I may occasionally have a few apple slices or a half of a peach with cream and butter. I mentioned in the AA thread that i have a new found love for Dreamfields, which is also new to me. I guess I sorta added those things in July when I felt comfortable. I think things like popcorn on occassion send me into a all you can eat type situation. this actually happened last week and I think that is when true panic set in. I have worked to hard to let popcorn take me out.. 
I may check into the Master of my domain ( dang, sounded like a rehab..lol  )thread. I am actually pretty shocked that I did not gain more when I thought I was cheating during my planned cheats when my friend was here from Portugal. I gained 2 whole pounds and lost them plus one more this week..lol BUT I worked out like crazy and took my atkins vitamins.
I don't count calories and I don't think I can buckle down that much to do it.
 I think I could be fighting with the word cheat. It has a new meaning in this new phase. What used to be cheat on OWL is now a careful splurge. For me a cheat would be eating off plan at McDonalds or something. (YUCK! I would NOT do that anyway)
Thanks again for your support!
