    You were on induction right? So it's not starting over, it's just getting back on track. I don't think what you ate is enough to kick you out of ketosis but you don't want to make a habit of it...and if it is, it is...just get right back to it. You can do it!

      I suggest that you prepare some of the indiction friendly treats to have on hand for TOM.

      I keep am selection of SF jello for things just like this. You can make mousse from whip cream & cream cheese, coco and splenda. Just remember that you need to keep your cheese under 4 oz a day and the limited amount of heavy cream. I have made SF pudding with heavy cream and water as well.

      Be prepared for the next time.

          Diet soda has the same effect on me -- anything sweet, even if artificial, can sometimes make me crave something that will wreak havoc on this WOE. I try to minimize "sweet" treats, and eat/drink them during the day rather than at night when my willpower seems to be at it's lowest. You may find that to work for you too.

          As for the cheat, I wouldn't make a habit of it, but for just one offense, drink a large glass of water to get rid of any lingering sweet taste and move on. Dwelling on it certainly won't help anyway.

            Don't beat yourself up over it!! I was just REALLY bad tonight too and at then end of all my sweet eating, it really was not worth it and I realized that I've been just fine without it. So just get back on track and you'll be good to go At least you only ate one small little treat, you don't even want to know what I ate!! We can do this so just stay strong and keep on moving!

                The first thing you need to do is stop equating what you eat with being "bad" (evil) or "good" (angelic). That's a hold-over when our behavior made us a "good girl" or "bad girl" according to what we did. We have an innate desire to please, well, not maybe the Terrible Twos, so we would be seen in a favorable light by our parents, deserving of their love. What child does not want to be loved by their parents? Good little girls are rewarded with cookies, ice cream or a sucker. Bad behavior is rewarded with a spanking, time out (away from the presence of the loved parent), standing in the corner, sent to bed without dinner or some other punishment that left you feeling like a "bad" person, whom no one could love. We had to work on being good so we could get the cookies and ice cream that good little girls got.

                We learned to equate punishment as proof that we were a bad "person"--we were denied the yummy foods, at the very least. Being a good "person" got you all your meals and treats to boot!

                It's no wonder we grew up with a skewed vision of what makes a good or bad person. We equate sweets and treats for the good person, but a bad person doesn't deserve the good food.

                Here's the truth: Bad behavior does not make you a bad person. Constant and continual bad behavior (criminals) might, but eating a cookie does not qualify as being bad. The behavior was a bad thing to do, but it does not make you an evil person. We need to learn to separate our physical actions from our psychological being (spirit). We are not good or bad according to what we eat. We might make the wrong judgment call on what to eat when we have PMS and the hormones are raging, but you were not "bad."

                We need to let go of the good girl/bad girl labels of the past. We are grown now and don't have to keep those labels so we are able to love ourselves and for other people to love us.

                If you tattooed a scarlet B on your forehead after you ate the mini-Reese's, then have it removed! You, as a human person, made a bad decision/choice, but you are not BAD!

                This hold-over also accounts for the ones that after staying on Induction for 14 days, losing a bunch of weight, they then reward themselves for good behavior with a double hot fudge sundae. Same with "cheat days" that we think we have earned and deserve.

                When I had TOM munchies, I didn't allow myself to eat foods not on plan, but I did allow myself unrestrained access to fatty, protein foods. I knew that I was eating too much, but also knew that after Aunt Flo started I would have a few days where I was barely hungry. I always had a big whoosh right after, no matter how much I ate for a few days before.

                Lecture over! Now go to your room with a bunch of Atkins-legal snacks and read a good book. You deserve it!

                Sunny!
