Okay so I'm not sure if anyone read in the "AppleBees Nacho Supreme Beast" post that I had a little affair with Dark Chocolate last night. Now I knew that mentally it really upset me that I did that. But I haven't been able to sleep well at all now... I even woke up 2 or 3 times feeling my stomach wretch. I feel restless, my body feels heavier then ever, I have a huge headache, and my stomach refuses to stop turning. All around I feel miserable emotionally and physically. I upped my water intake to try and flush it out. But I wonder if anyone else has felt this way.. and if so what did you do to help move it along... will this throw me out of ketosis? My weigh day is tomorrow and I'm terrified to jump on that scale now.... UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Never again :-(
Thats the feeling I used to get when I did naughty. I guess we have to pay double for the screw ups. All I did was up my water like you are doing and soon I was back on track. You have already upped your water so you should be fine. You learned your lesson, remember how your tummy felt the next time you want something bad.

Re: Never again :-(
I think it's more mental than anything else.
I hate to say it, actually not really, but when I have cheated I haven't felt terribly bad. I still sleep, and my stomach is okay as long as I don't eat any of my trigger foods. I don't feel heavy, etc. I just go move on and get back on with the plan. The point is, you did it. It's over and done with, what can you do now? Nothing. So move on and get back on plan, and you're doing wonderfully by taking in a lot of water.
Don't beat yourself up. Your mentality has a lot to do with your weight loss and how your body reacts or responds. We all make mistakes, don't be so hard on yourself.Comment

Re: Never again :-(
Thanks guys... I had a sad moment with the scale today. I'm really depressed but I have to brighten myself up. All the torturous exercise I do everyday didn't even seem to help and the fact that I drank over 100 ounces of water yesterday didn't either. I stepped on the scale after a week and saw that I only lost 2 lbs... I know I have to pick myself up from this and learn but I am so dissapointed in myself for doing that. I guess it's another week and I can still change things for the better.Hoping to be @ 180 lbsBy our 1 year anniversary =)June 8, 2009

Re: Never again :-(
What rung are you on?
Dont feel down about the whole ordeal. Your body will adjust, but you can't expect it to lose weight at the drop of a hat--although I really wish it was that way.
Now you know that you shouldn't cheat.
Let go of the past and move on with the future! *hugs*Comment

Re: Never again :-(
Thanks for the replies! I'm on extended induction right now for another week or 2 before I start moving up. I did put it behind me though. I started speed walking a mile every night, and that has lifted my spirits a bit. Thanks again everyone... I knew I liked you guys for a reason!

Re: Never again :-(
I spent a lifetime beating myself up when I was imperfect and it didn't get me any further ahead. I find that if I'm having a less than perfect day, I have given up punishing myself and remind myself that I'll have these teachable moments throughout life where I can feel badly or figure out why I did what I did. After all, Atkins isn't a temporary fix for me. It is a permanent solution and I have to understand what makes my brain tick and understand those impulses I get from time to time to reach for the most decadent stuff I can and somehow think it won't matter. Truth be told, it does matter.
When you are alone in your head, you are in a bad neighborhood.

Re: Never again :-(
I'm on extended induction, too, and I'll be moving up the rungs soon (in about a week and a half) as well
I'm excited about it!

Re: Never again :-(
I came off induction because of a wee slip-up and am doing much better on Owl. Fortunately it only stalled me for a week.
I stayed on Induction way too long last time. Give some thought to moving on to the 1st rung of Owl sooner rather than later.Comment
