    So I blew it

    So my husband took me out for a date tonight for the first time in almost a year. And I blew it! I ate carbs and I drank a margarita. But Im ok. I will not beat myself up. I will begin induction again on Monday (gotta grocery shop) and I will lose again. I will smack myself on the hand and move on. I will not dwell. I got it out of my system and I am ready to be skinny yall! Please no bashing!

    Re: So I blew it

    you are doing great ! 1. not beating yourself up 2. getting right back on the "horse" so to speak 3. not dwelling on it.. everyone stumbles, even falls, its not the stumble that hurts its the not getting up.

    keep up the good work !

      Wifey,

      The good thing is that you aren't going to beat yourself up about it. I've seen so many people flat out quite because of being so upset when they fall off. Today my mother and I went out for dinner and it was a buffet. Well, I ate cabbage, smoked chicken, and turnip greens. As I was eating the greens, I thought "boy are these good". Then I realized, d*, I believe they added sugar. I was a little upset but ate it nonetheless. When I got home, I gave myself an hour to let the food settle, and I did a 30 minute workout tape. Not sure the workout will help but anytime I mess up, my punishment will be extra workout. That will help me stay on track.

      Good luck low-carbing!

              Re: So I blew it

              Well, I'm glad I read this thread. For two days now I have had severe back pain and have constantly been considering "falling of the wagon". I've made it this far and don't want to start over again. I think if I did "fall" I would not begin again for quite a while. What makes it so important for me is that I also have candida & hypoglycemia problems. I know that the candida should limit me further, but I couldn't do it all right at the beginning. So I am doing regular induction and then cutting out the dairy, bacon, ham, etc. I don't really want to fall back into the merry go round of high & low blood sugar, PMS, not to mention the extra lbs.

              So I HAVE to stick with it!!!! Thank you for helping with that. (motivation)

                Yup, you are doing it right! Nobody is perfect 100% of the time (and anyone who is, please keep that to yourselves). You brush yourself off, fix it and move on. That is exactly what you are doing so no bashing here.

                Erica, I have done exactly what you did on several occasions. If I cheat accidentally, I don't consider it a cheat--it is a mistake. And I won't make it again. Done.

                  Congrats to you for admitting you made a mistake and then taking steps to correct it. That takes a lot of courage!

                    Re: So I blew it

                    In addition to getting back on the wagon, you need to figure out why you made the decision to fall off. See, unless we live in a solitary life in a cave or desert island, there will always be "something" that comes up---a birthday party, a family reunion, lunch with friends, a really busy day at the office, a hectic day running errands around town, etc. So we need to devise a Plan B to stay on the diet during those times.

                    I don't mean to sound harsh, but I've been around these boards to see PLENTY of people start over and over and over and over and over and over again. WE all need to make the decision to move from square 1 and move to square 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. If we don't, we'll be stuck on square 1 and we'll never get to our goal.

                    So sit down, and figure out why you decided to go off and if it was worth it---that is, was the cheat worth having to "start all over again". If it was, then bear in mind the more falls you have to longer it will take for you to achieve your weight loss goal.

                      We have have all been there where you. We want to drink that drink or eat that cake and then we try to rationalize it away. I have cheated and I have had to make the decision that I love the numbers going down on the scale MORE than I love those few seconds of that yummy taste in my tummy. You need to congratulate yourself for coming clean and admitting the slip. Many are tempted to hide it. Hiding our eating habits is a major red flag. We need to acknowledge what we eat every day. Thats why we post menus. It allows you to have a look at it and see the actual science behind ketosis and the Atkins diet.
                      You can do this! Reset your desire and refocus on the end goal!!

                        THANK YOU, MEGS!!!!!

                        I'm feeling VERY bummy today--thinking of retreating into sugar. That's why I came here-too get some help so I won't. Now that I think of it, there is no sugar stuff in the house! Just fruit & grain stuff-bad enough-but not enough to cheat. I wanted real sugar stuff.

                        My DD/12 read my post as I was writing it last night (the first time I allowed THAT). Afterwards she said she wouldn't allow me to fall off. I was so touched!!

                        I am so good, hardly any cravings, so WHY does mental stress (for me bummy/depression & physical pain) make me want to quit? It's not the cravings, it's the thought "screw it all".

                        There is a reason for the depression (O.K. I admitted it). It is a direct result of spending 1 1/2 days on the couch-back pain/problems. I can't let it continue-I have had severe problem with it in the past. It is so hard to get out of it to begin with, then to have to deal with the food issues.

                        Oh, well. I'll deal with it. But I want my energy back (not from food but from mind problems). Sorry to dump. I'll eat my breakfast now--flaxseed meal hot cereal. I really like it.

                        Later
