RH, although it can be hard to eat on ATkins when funds are low, I would encourage you to try to use the funds that you do have for Atkins friendly foods. And if you are eating foods you already have, then I have to ask why you have food that isn't part of your lifestyle. Do you have others living with you that eat differently than you do? If nothing else, at least try to get your veggies in. I also hate to see al your hard work fall by the wayside. You have come so far, and worked so hard. And if you are the only one in your house, then when you are able to go to the store again, get rid of all the stuff that you aren't supposed to eat. Donate it to a food pantry or give it away to a neighbor. It doesn't matter how you get rid of it, just that it isn't there starting you inthe face everytime you open the pantry or fridge! Good luck, dear friend!!
