How about starting today... right now... rather than waiting until tomorrow? The sooner you start, the sooner you'll feel good again!
You can do it!!!

We all have our slip-ups. We live and we learn. Good for you for jumping right back on the wagon. You can do it, you've done great so far .

I made the cauliflower pizza crust pizza tonight and ended up having three slices. Oops.

Come on. It's not that hard to do this. Temptation is everywhere with anything in life. You just have to be strong. It's a battle of the mind. Just like the treadmill. Your mind says okay I did enough, or, okay I am so tired, i have to quit. But, your fine to push that extra mile and you can. Sallyseachange is right. Start right now.

Re: I didn´t make it through halloween

I'm far from perfect... I just don't understand how you can't make it through Halloween. Thanksgiving or Easter I can see being a little more challenging. But come on. you work so hard and then you push yourself back 3 days for a couple small candies. It's not worth it.

Re: I didn´t make it through halloween

Don't beat yourself up .... you are human. A few weeks ago, without even thinking I starting eating some bread at a restarant. Just got back on track the next day. I do keep Atkins bars in the house so when I get a sweet craving I have 1 or even just a half of one. This seems to nip the craving and I don't feel deprived. Perhaps that might work for you the next time you want to have some candy.

Have a great day.

You are doing awesome!!!!! Congrats on what you have done so far!!! Try not to grab for the candy...tell your kids not to share LOL
Good luck

Re: I didn´t make it through halloween

mislicious thanks some of the people on here get me so down.. on another thread I wrote for support they were like you need to get serious and like really rude... I am serious but it is hard and there are temptations every where that get thebest of me at times... it is so hard and som on here just make you feel worse...

Re: I didn´t make it through halloween

like I said...dont worry about them. Worry about yourself. Sometimes I understand people will try and say things to push u...but sometimes they push u so much that your out of the game. and just quit. Ive only been doing Atkins for 5 weeks and when I 1st satrted I came on here and let everyone know that I screwed up one night and I heard people saying "dont worry"...but then there were people that were like "oh you'll never lose weight..you dont know what your doing". I guess I showed them wrong cause Ive lost 21 lbs in less than 6 weeks. KEEP IT UP. Email me sometime mislicious16@yahoo.com maybe we can be our own lil team. And we can spill out our problems to eachother.

Yes, I really hate the "holier the thou" attitude But most folks on here are very supportive and have been through just what you're (and me ) going through and can relate.

Re: I didn´t make it through halloween

Believe in yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!We all have different issues with food, just as our bodies react to making changes differently. If you are really struggling, don't be afraid to talk to a counselor, sometimes our food issues are related to others things. One book that helped me through some tough times is, "The Power of Intention" by Dr. Wayne Dyer. It gave me several tools on how to view my life and make some positive changes.

You are worth it - believe in you! And let the cruel words of others just roll off your back. You are special!

Don't let it get you down. People encourage in different ways, probably in the way that works best for them. Take what motivates you to keep going to heart and let the rest of it go.

Here's the things about your going off plan though. It's not the end of the world. You aren't going to gain 10 lbs. overnight and you can easily go back on plan and in the long run, this little mistake won't mean a thing. BUT...the fact that you did fall off and eat something you had committed not to eating says something. I think it's important to consider why you did it. There is always going to be some temptation. If it's not Halloween, it's Thanksgiving, or Christmas, or a birthday party, a potluck at work, etc, etc.

We're all here for a reason. We aren't pleased with our weight and what we have been doing isn't working for us. So, we've decided to do something different. We probably all got to the point we are at for different reasons. I would challenge you to just think about yours. Why wasn't the way you were eating before working? What causes you to eat the things that you have said you won't? If you can figure out that, I think it can help you to better deal with the temptation the next time it comes along.

You're fine...just decide what it is you really want and then continue to work towards it. When you make a mistake, figure out why you made it and then work towards finding a way to deal with it better the next time.
