Yea I was down to 299... Now I'm back up to 300... My Dad had to be rushed to the hospital Sunday night/Monday morning. I ate chocolate... and a good amount of it... so the rest of the day I forced myself to drink 4 liters of water and only ate once that day with induction friendly food... I'm so upset... why does everything happen to me... it feels like I'll never get rid of this weight... but I have to keep trying...

Re: I messed up... and now I'm paying for it..
Stick with it, it'll come off. Keep up with your water and maybe it'll only be a tiny little blip. Hey I've been trying for well over a year to loose the "other" half. Maybe this time I will succeed too! I know that if I didn't keep trying I'd be back to the other self and I like this new one much better. So be patient with yourself, figure out what went wrong and see if you can plan out a better way to deal with it all next time. Don't let the emotional eating drag you down.
{{HUGS}} How's dad doing now? Better I hope?

Re: I messed up... and now I'm paying for it..
I'm sorry about your Dad. Is he ok? Now you know that you're a stress eater. Take that information and learn from it. You need to keep telling yourself that food will not make the situation any better. In fact you feel worse. I eat when I'm bored, so I try to keep myself as busy as possible.
Remember, this is just a bump in the road. You can be back on Atkins with the next meal.Michele SW250/CW 226/GW150 F, 38, 5'6"

Anyway, hang in there! Don't beat yourself up. You're still here, right? So, obviously you haven't given up. The weight will come off you just had a bad day. I'm sorry things have been tough for you lately. Just remember don't starve yourself like that because of a cheat. I don't think starving yourself is any healthier than cheating because it screws with your metabolism and sugar levels. Now, I'm no expert, so take what I say with a grain of salt, but I'm pretty sure that's true.
You'll get through this. Remember, we started together, so we have to get through this together!

Sorry to hear that.Originally posted by TheLoser05
As this is a program for life, things like this will happen. I call it 'life' happening to you. This is what derails most dieters.
My advice is this. Look at comfort foods that you can have that are in the OWL range. So even though you are on induction, but when you are feeling stressed, don't reach for the candy bar, have some macadamia nuts, or strawberries with wipped cream!

Re: I messed up... and now I'm paying for it..
I am sorry you are feeling poorly too.
What wayless said is right - try not to fall into the 'I've eaten off plan so might as well continue for today' trap or the 'no more food today to make up for the slip' trap that are waiting to trick you into stopping eating according to your phase of Atkins.
If you slip up just catch yourself and go right back on plan there and then - no starving yourself, no binging on 'forbidden foods' - just Atkins allowed foods the next time you eat a snack or meal.
And plenty of water to help you flush it all out of your system
Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
