Today I made the choice to celebrate nearly 3 weeks of clean eating by having a special ice cream sundae. I had read that occasionally people can have a "cheat day" without dire consequences if you're willing to return to induction eating to induce ketosis for a few days after. And it's my TOM and I NEEDED it and hubby tried to talk me out of it and even refused to get ice cream when we went but I got it. And I LOVED IT! Every bite...for like 10 minutes until the entire 3 scoop sundae with caramel topping, crushed sugar cone bites, whipped cream, and a cherry was completely gone!
Then came the downside... 45 min later I was in our bathroom for almost 20 min with lots of watery green diarrhea. I don't know how it went through my body that fast. It surged through my body. Of course I don't know how much came out. Only that it required several flushes. And it took many, many minutes.
The good thing is that I never want another sundae ever again. The bad news is ... and I don't know what this means, that I went to take my measurements tonight, and I gained an inch on my thigh. I don't understand. We moved the measuring tape up and down to different parts (just to make sure we had it in the right place) and it was 1 inch larger. Why would that be? Surely the extra inch in my tummy could be bloating or due to the error of my ways today... but my thigh?
My husband tried to comfort me and say it was muscle but... the scale only budged 1 oz up today. I know we can't know the effects of today fully until a few days from now and the fact that it set me back a few days but I made the choice to eat it today knowing that because the craving was so strong and it only happens once/month. My Da Vinci syrups came today (sugar-free) and I'm hoping to get a plan in place with those that will satisfy me for next month’s TOM.
Anyway, does anyone know why I gained an extra inch in my thigh this week after 3 weeks at the same measurement? Is that normal?

So i measure at 9 pm everyday. I ended up losing a pound and a half last week and moved to owl. And we've made 3 trips to friendlys (hubby is finishing up our free ice cream coupons) and I haven't had any ice cream since.
