Ooopss...I did it again....

[SueSue1212]

Oooppss, I did it again. This time I really got messed up. I am here to try and convict myself of 1st degree sabotage!!! Fruit! No wonder an apple got us into so much trouble the first time. Today I got up and checked my ketostick and I am completely out of ketosis. Been stalled now for almost 2 weeks, I know I have not strayed I have been very faithful to this WOE and I am down right angry that I am out of ketosis. Any hints as to why???
So, with any emotional eater I rewarded myself with food. I ate a medium plum (8.5 carbs I believe) and a medium peach (around the same I think). Now if I was not out completely I am now I am sure. I only had an additional 5 carbs today. I wish I could say that I am regretting the deed because of the taste, but that is not the case. My only regret is that I have stumbled. The fruit somehow though has made me crave water, weird connection, but it is so. So, here I am and I now convict myself to 2 more weeks of induction. Guilty, Guilty, off with the bread! and rice and pots and etc. etc. etc.

I'm confused. You say you have not strayed--are you up to rung 7, fruits other than berries and melon? All of those fruits are rung 7. A stall is no weight loss or inches lost for at least four weeks. Two weeks does not equal a stall. Did you measure?

Sometimes the ketostix lie. They never worked for me, even when I was losing 3 to 4 pounds a week. There are so many variables: time of day you test, how much liquid you drink, how much dietary fat you eat, how much you exercise, hidden carbs and so on. You can't live by the stix or a number on a scale.

Dr. Atkins said that fruit would stop you in your tracks faster than any other legal food. I lost 102 pounds in 10 months, and that took me to fresh fruit season. Not only did adding back fruit make my weight come to a screecing halt, I started gaining. It happens every summer. I love fruit, but an occasional apple is all I can get away with.

Get back on the wagon, climb the rungs very carefully and stop freaking out when you don't turn a stick pink.

Yep, think about it. Trees and shrubs filled with sugar-rich fruit every summer....just what caveman needed to add a winter layer onto his posterior.
