my first really hard day... day 7

[xxxthejesicatheoryxxx]

Yesterdaywas day 7 and was my first hard day on adkins.

I had to go through the court to get full custody of my son after a year of mess..... long storie short my horrible X lives on one side of north carolina and I live on the other and every two weeks I have to travel for 4 hours to the middle of the state to drop off my son and then two days later drive back to pick him up.

Yesterday I was diving to pick up my son, I knew I dident have any money to eat out so I packed something, just something small though (stupid me). I went hours and hours without eating because of problems we had on the road and then finnaly got to eat my food....... I was famished.

stupidly I desided to get a slim jim and a stick of beef jerky.... my mom ran in the store to get them for me and when she brought them out I realized there was no nutitional value on the packages... .there on the box which was back at the store. I was so hungry I ate them anyway....

about 20 min later I was so hungry, having cravings for my sons tater tots which I got him at sonic. I was wondering why because I hadent had cravings for a week. I then read the package ingredents for the beef jerkey and the slim jim.

slim jim had corn syrup
jerky had brown sugar.

I figured thats where my cravings where comming from

I did not cheat though.... unless you count the jerkey as cheating..... Im wondering if I need to start induction over because of the sugar or not


Question.... do you think I need to start induction over because of the sugar in the slim jim and beef jerkey

I know my mistakes though, not eating in a very long time and not eating enough when I did eat.

everyother weekend screws me up so bad.

No you do not need to start over. Just pick up where you left off and use this as a learning experience---always check out a food before you put it in your mouth.

Also it's better to eat a high fat snack than it is to eat a high protein one. The ideal snack would be a high fat-high protein combo. The fat takes longer to digest so it keeps us "full" longer.

Megs is right, no need to 'start over', just continue with your induction eating.
Next time perhaps you can hardboil some eggs to take with you along with a few cherry tomatoes or cucumber slices. They wouldnt be too expensive if your budget is a bit tight and would be an easy highfat snack to eat on the go.
