    Uhhhhhhhh! Why Did I Cheat???

    Im so mad at myself right now. I've been doing *SO* well and I love the way im feeling! But someone at work today brought it 5 (i repeat, 5) containers of cookies, so about 50-60 cookies in MY ROOM (with 4 people) and they smelled so good! I got to chatting with someone and just picked them up and ate them! Not all of them but i had 3!!!!!!!!!! 2 chocolate chip and one SUGAR COOKIE WITH PINK FROSTING ON TOP AND SPRINKLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im so ashamed!!!! Im not going to cheat anymore i know i wont but i cant believe i did this after all the results i've been noticing. i had to post this so all the veterans can tear me a new one and make me feel bad about it and so i'll never do it again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

        Damage is done. Sucking down your water is certainly not going to hurt things at all - but you can't undo it by choosing not to eat anything else for awhile. When you're hungry again, eat ..but this time make a MUCH better choice. This is all about choices, right?!

        And you sound like you need another one.

          Speedy,

          take a deep breath and just get back on plan NOW. That's really all you need to do. Drinking your water and exercising is always a good idea...

          What counts is that you realised what you did, stopped eating (you could easily have eaten way more than just 3 cookies) and, as Brook said, you learn to make better choices.

              I just got my horoscope for today, made me smile.

              Here is your horoscope for Thursday, August 25:

              Object all you want, but things are changing, and they are going to keep
              changing. That's the nature of life. Learn to go along with this, and you'll
              find that things get much, much easier.

                as for the 'least effect possible'... water might help a tad.. but exercise... it's the ONLY way to burn off unwanted carbs.... lots and lots of exercise.. (there's actually a way to figure how to burn off X amount of carb.. but I don't know it)...

                had a friend who was EXTREMELY... severely... diabetic... shots etc.. but sometimes she just couldn't resist.. or chose not to resist certain sweets... so she would allow herself a small amount, but she'd know exactly how much longer she had to walk/jog that day to keep her blood sugar from whacking out completely.....

                  Why did you cheat? Because even smart people act stupidly sometimes. Because you aren't perfect. Because maybe, just maybe, you were supposed to learn something - and it sounds like you did.

                  Do NOT starve yourself. You should increase the fat in your diet today and tomorrow, to counteract those carbs. You want your body to keep burning fat for fuel, not the carbs.

                  Definately increase the water intake by maybe 16 oz today and tomorrow, too.

                  Exercise doesn't hurt. But the concept of eating carbs and then exercising them off is rather dangerous - uncontrolled, it can lead to exercise bulemia.

                  As for tomorrow, you can eat the topping off the pizza and let me tell you, it's GOOD! Even if they are ordering in, you can bring a tray of veggies with ranch dressing to pass around. And you can also eat something high in fat BEFORE lunch is served, which will diminish your appetite and protect you from uncontrolled cravings.

                  You can do it!!!!!!!

                    and I thought that the 'overexercising' thing was only a problem if you're already thin... like runners etc...

                      Here's another from me - you seem to be doing a good job of tearing yourself off a strip so we dont have to do it
                      I agree with finelly - make sure you take some good food choices to work tomorrow os you can avoid temptations. A good idea to eat something before the take-out food arrives to take the edge off your hunger too.
                      Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?

                        Finelly- Beautifully said.

                        You CAN overdo exercise and exercise should absolutely not be viewed as pennance for an eating sin. It can be a very dangerous mental path to follow.

                        and I thought that the 'overexercising' thing was only a problem if you're already thin... like runners etc
                        Peytonn- Unfortunately- that's not the case. Even anorexics start out heavier than "thin", if you know what I mean. Bullemics are notoriously of average weight or overweight, and that's why it's so darn hard to spot us.

                        Speedy- I hope you're feeling better and more in control this afternoon!! You've been given some great tips and you know we still adore you -even if you're only human. LOL Drink your water, get some exercise and keep on keepin on!

                          Stop hurting yourself so much. I hope the rest of your day goes much better. Stay strong. Remember why you are doing this. You will be just fine. Oh...take your own lunch tomorrow. You can do it. You are stronger than the food. Don't let the food enslave you.

                            I jumped right back on yesterday and everything went fine. I went to the Dam near by and ran last night, it was beautiful when the sun was going down so it made me stay out there longer. Then when I came home i did the 2.5 mile walk\jog WATP. Before I went to bed I used my ketostix, and it said i was out of ketosis that was a little discouraging but I know things will be fine once i "keep on keepin on" (love that movie by the way, brook) I made some yummy pork chops last night and brought 2 into work with me along with some steamed broccoli and califlower w\ some melted butter. I should be fine.

                            Thanks for all the tips everyone!
