Day 8 - Crisis Averted!!!
Today I had a little bit of a crisis...
I went out yesterday to a restaurant for an event and although the meal was a little huge I made sure to be good
the only thing is today I weighed in at 229.7 lb! Gained just over 3 lb!!! Luckily my ketosis strip still shows that I'm still in ketosis (the darkest purple) AND I've been kinda.. backed up the last few days. Today I went to get some psyllium husks to take care of that, but in reality I knew that I was gonna pick up like 5 HUGE delicious Wholefoods cookies whilst I was there.. I was almost bawling in sadness as I walked up to the bakery to get to messing up my diet!! Thank GOD they were out of those delicious snacks so I ran to the register, bought the psyllium & gulped down 2 teaspoons of the stuff after shaking it up in 200ml of water. Felt great after & I'm on track, but, knowing myself and although I'm really tired of quitting Atkins, I'm sure that moment'll come again 
I know it's up to me to learn to stop treating my gullet like a garbage can at a diner, but it's so hard!! I'm gonna search this bulletin board when I get home for more ideas for staying on track. That is after a quick stop in the gym (been slacking a bit cz of a minor injury.) Thanks for the support so far, though, and I'm just trying to look forward to the day that I'm stuck in some healthy habits and can help someone like me who's trying to stay on course.

I used to think of myself as a realist, but I now think that was an excuse to be pessimistic. I'm striving for optimism & feel much more that way now. It's like that movie, the Secret. U've gotta think positive and that'll attract the positive- or something like that!
