    I Fell Today And Didn't Cry......

    After being on induction cheat free for 24 days, today I slipped but the good thing about it was I didn't cry (rather beat myself up over it). That is a blessing. Normally I miss the mark on a diet and give up but not this time, I just said this is a WOE and I will fall from time to time but the key is to get up and KEEP GOING. So today I fell but I didn't cry......I don't even consider it cheating because I am learning this is a WOL for me, not a quick fix. GLORY TO GOD!

    So to all Atkineers who beat yourself up because you fall, get back up and KEEP STEPPING .... it's a way of life, not a quick fix.

    Now what I learned was I can't allow myself to become too hungry, I must have a high protein snack available when those cravings hit me. I MUST.

    I had a cookie and french toast stick (without syrup) and honestly they just didn't taste the same as they did before I started this WOE.

    I hope this encourages someone.

    Sounds like you stumbled, but more importantly you picked yourself back up quickly. No one is perfect, the important thing is minimizing our mistakes, learning and moving on in a positive direction.

    Good job getting back on plan.

    What I know:
    1-Atkins WOE/WOL plan works
    2-I need to always work on the behaviors and triggers that make me over eat.
    3-Atkins WOL is part of the puzzle, but is not the entire thing.
    4-Self-deprecation only feeds our inner ego and not in a good way.

        I love your attitude! This is a WOL & we all stumble as we learn our way. It is a blessing ...did you ever think a cookie & a french toast stick would not taste good??

        Blessings to you on this journey!

          Maybe that is your body's way of telling you that it is ready to move up the ladder. 24 days on induction is enough. You will be surprised when it speeds up your weight loss to add more healthy veggies and move on up the rungs so you have more choices. That's the only way to truly make it a way of life instead of a diet. I had yummy LEGAL snickerdoodles cookies tonight made with almond flour. Reminded me of cinnamon toast. Nuts are rung three!

Truth be told, I have messed up more times this go round than any other time...and you know what, I'm down 30 pounds..b/c I didn't let being human and making mistake defeat me. I get right back up and keep on going.

                  It sounds as though you have fully mastered the art of a positive, move-forward attitude. These things happen, and your "Up and on!" mentality will prove extremely beneficial on this program. You are doing great, FLSunshine, and your gumption is encouraging to all of us - keep it up!!
