  • Apple Pie......

    So, I've been having an issue with dates---not going out on dates, the food called dates.

    DH brought home a huge box and I ate one.

    One led to two.

    Two went on to three.

    Ok, you all get the picture.

    Three led to a binge. Bet you all didn't see that coming. lol. Yesterday I managed to eat a piece of apple pie that left me gassy (sorry to gross you all out this early) and even worse. I then went on to destroy TWO cans of Pepsi--not diet.

    I paid for it. Yesterday and today I've had the worst headache anyone can imagine. I'm trying to stay away from the pain relief (Tylenol) because I want to remember how awful I feel, lol.

    I feel like I would imagine an alcoholic might feel after overdoing it the night before--hangover. I can hardly see straight the pain is so bad and the gas is truly terrible--again, sorry to be graphic.


    So today I lick my wounds and carry on. It won't be easy since I am having terrible cravings--but that's why I'm keeping my laptop open to ADBB!! lol. Having people to talk to helps--you all know that already.

    No feeling sorry for me please. I'm not feeling badly that I did what I did, I'm just owning it and moving on. It's not going to be the last time something like this happens because it's a looong life (hopefully) and we have many lessons to learn if we are to adopt a whole new WOE.

    Nothing but loads of water for me today along with my regular meals and exercise--it might make my head feel better to move. It's worth a try.

      Well Meena, I went through this too. My headache was awful and the stomach ache wasn't pretty either. Today is day 2 or 3 and I feel much much better. It was AWFUL. I had no energy nothing good came out of it. Yesterday I struggled immensely with sweets. I have to get over them AGAIN. Best of luck to you. Get back on the wagon.

        i remember one time long ago the FIRST time i did atkins. i had a cheat after being clean for ages. i think it was pasta. i thought i was gonna die my stomach hurt so bad...not to mention the violent gastric reaction!!!

        you are paying the price which is punishment enough. the GOOD thing about this is that the next time you have the urge to cheat, you will have this memory to recall and believe me, you'll think twice.....it took just that one time for me to KNOW that no cheat is worth that pain!!!

        hope you feel better fast. great attitude. jump aboard, read , read, read.....drink, drink, drink...you'll be better in no time flat. chalk it up to a good learning experience and have a GREAT DAY!

            Wow Meena- your a bad girl... LOL

            Call it a good experience and move on. Now you know that you can't eat dates or apple pie (like you didn't know but had a brain fart).

            Drink a lot of water and eat a high fat diet today and you should be okay.... That is how to recover from an apple pie hangover cure

              Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and keep moving on sister!! Hey, I hear ya on the giving into temptations and the regret more of the way it made me feel than the guilty feeling of cheating... Man it's hard! Temptations are everywhere. Brave of you to share it and move on. We have ALL done this probably more than we will want to admit!!!

                I'm a terrible gassy, headachy mess!

                The funny thing is that since my own diet changed and I'm gassy I've noticed the baby passing more wind than usual. It's actually funny in a weird oddball way.

                I forgot about upping the fats--I need to do that. Thanks for the reminder.

                    Well, live and learn, live and learn.

                    Definately do a 3 day strict induction, to get back on track.

                    And tell dh not to leave those dates out!

                      The box is half gone. I'll be glad when they all get eaten--not by me though. I'm staying faaaaaar away from the dates---owie my head.

                      Water is in my future--lol. Everytime I think DATE, I'm going to sip WATER. That seems to be working so far.

                        If you fall off the wagon, get back on! You are doing a good job of that, congrats! We are all human.

                        Thanks for sharing your story, there are candy corn staring at me... I won't be giving in to those temptations!

                            Meena, there is a great paragraph in the "eating in the real world" chapter of the DANDR, "when a bend becomes a binge" you should check out that advice from that.
                            Good luck to you, refocus, refocus, refocus....

                              I'll be re-reading that section of DANDR tonight. I'm feeling much better tonight than I was this afternoon. Gas has passed---lol. Headache is gone without having to take Tylenol. I have not had a date all day and I'm behind on my dinner because of how sluggish I've been today.

                              So, with tummy growling I think I'll go grab a few hard boiled eggs with mayo. Maybe some sliced celery and parsley. That should fix me until dinner.

                              Thanks guys for being there for me today.
