A small victory!

[foojoy]

Hi, at my job, I do the birthday cakes. I get really good ones from the Giant supermarket where we work. Anyway, I had to get two and I didn't have one piece, not even licking my fingers, not even tasting the frosting, which is sooooo goooood. It was hard and I kept looking at it but I didn't really want any. I think that the Atkins in kicking in.

Yesterday, was day one without any sugerfree gum, was a bit tempted but I didn't do it. Also, I didn't have any cream in my decaf tea today...yet.

This is day 12 of induction for me. I'm feeling a little light headed, but it's not bad. I drank only 72oz of water yesterday, normally I do over 100oz.

I have one more attiction to kick and that's jumping on the scale every morning and checking for ketosis every time I go to the bathroom when I get home .

Thanks for reading and thanks for the support.

foojoy, great job! I've been on the scale probably 300 out of 352 days last year. Wait, probably 325 of 352 days last year.....and I checked for ketosis about a bajillion times. I don't think there's anything wrong with that, it's helped keep me on track. I don't freak out though over the ups and downs. I only freak if it starts going up,up, up, and up. That's "Houston, we have a problem" . What I've learned over the past year is how much water, food, fiber, TOM, and exercise affect my body. I can almost plan when I'll gain weight in a month. You keep coming here and tweaking your plan, you're doing a good job!

Re: A small victory!

Wow! Good for you. That takes commitment and will power. You really sound like your in 100%.
I know how hard it is. Last night I went out with some relitives to a restaurant. They bring you out all the free tortilla chips you want and everyone around me was indulging big time and ordered entrees I can't even smell because the carb counts were so high. Anyway, I got a steak and salad, and stupid me I forgot to be very specific in ordering and they brought me out white toast and croutons throughout my salad. I looked like a fool but I took about 2 minutes picking it all out. Yeah... I know, gross, but I won't be making that mistake again. lol At least I learned a lesson and conquered the cravings!
