Ok gang, it is time.

The holidays are just around the corner. Waaaaaaaah! I haven't been tempted to cheat for 5 months, but I'm dreading this season.

Are you planning to go off plan *a little* and treat yourself or are you going to stick to it? I have to stick to it, because if I don't I'll have a tough time going back. I'm going to spend the next couple of weeks planning some Atkins-friendly treats for myself so I don't feel completely deprived.

How are you going to prepare?

Well....we are going to be in Orlano the week of Thanksgiving. I have been planning since I started Atkins in June that I was going to have some mashed potatoes at Turkey Day!!! But now since I had a day last week where I actually ate some real fried chicken,mac and cheese and corn o the cob,I do not think I will. At least that is the way I feel this week!! Even though the items I ate were pretty darn good I decided it just isn't worth the use of carbs!! Now in three weeks I may feel different but I want to try to stick with the plan as close as possible. I guess being a part of the T'giving challenge is pushing me that way. I chose a pretty intense goal and I really doubt if I will make it by then. I also have taken the New Year challenge that I have a better chance of making. I am not perfect but I am going to try to make it through the holidays by staying on program.

I don't plan to eat anything with sugar, flour or cornstarch. I may eat too much but I'm not going to eat any refined carbs.

I haven't had bread or sugar since 1/9/03 and I don't miss them, so I won't be eating them

I don't plan on going off Atkins at all! I especially won't be when I am at Disney because thankfully I will Kath's sweet little voice in the back of my mind <b>reminding</b> me that refined carbs are toxic!!

Seriously though, I have no desire to cheat...The way I look at it is that I have come so far now that there is no way I want to gain back any of the weight I have lost, so why tempt fate?

The holidays will be hard, I do admit it, but hopefully I will always have Kath's sweet little voice in my head!
