Why am I so Hungry?

[Mickey527]

I have been doing Atkins for 8 weeks, week 9 starts Monday.
I have not been losing much, as you all know, but inches are going off so that is good. I started TOM on Thursday and since then I can't stop eating.
This is not my first TOM since Atkins, but this one is killing me. I am starving. No matter how much I eat I can't get full. I am drinking 8-10 16 oz bottles of water per day hoping that will fill me up but it isn't. Nothing is filling me, and the scale is inching up. 3 lbs at the start of TOM, then today I am down to only 1 lb more than when TOM started.
I had the full feeling early on the 3rd day of Atkins and have kept that since then until this month. I don't want to gain, I have been doing so good. I am looking forward to my WDW trip next week and showing off the new clothes that are 3 sizes lower than they were the last time I got together with my friends. I am planning on cheating some, but I don't crave breads or sweets at all, just my 1 margarita per day and a steak at LeCellier. And the prime rib and shrimp at Chef Mickeys, and maybe some hot dogs now, and some cheese, maybe a salad, chicken,.... I can't stop myself. Peggie

{{{HUGS}}} sweetie. I don't know why you are having such a hard time this month. You are doing everything right. Doesn't seem fair, does it? Seems like TOM is just beating you up this month. Don't worry about that slight gain. I doubt it is a true gain, probably just retained fluid. It will leave you soon, honest it will.

Hang in there. You <i>can</i> do this. We are all going to help you, okay?
