It's a slippery slope

I am fighting an internal, invisible enemy today: Hunger.

Hunger and I have not had a substantial clash since way back in October before I started Atkins. Atkin’s allowed to me to re-gain the power struggle I had previously lost with Hunger by providing me with the weapon of balanced blood sugar levels.

However, last night I made a terrible strategic move by eating garlic mashed potatoes. While they were delicious and I enjoyed every bite, the high-carb slip has cost me heavy losses in artillery. Hunger immediately went on an offensive attack. I have been able to hold it at bay, but not easily.

Hunger began its assault when I woke up and continued past breakfast. It then recruited an ally in the form of a co-worker’s chocolate cake, but fortunately my troops stayed strong and the aggressive front switched in my favour after my club salad at lunch. Hunger has since gone on the defensive, but I’m not out of the woods yet.

I have faith that fear will make me brave and keep me strong. Wish me luck.
