    Shame on me

    I am absolutely ashamed to admit that I just cheated. I feel like a complete and utter failure. I ate a cookie and 2 slices of pizza, WHY!? I mean I actually know what derailed me, I had some champagne this weekend at my brother's wedding, and ended up feeling like the biggest pile of crap the next day that I cheated on Sunday with the same 2 things, pizza & cookies. I know I am not in ketosis, hence the horrible strong desire to eat the stupid 2 pieces of leftover pizza and that friggin cookie. I am so mad at myself, I did really good Monday and yesterday, and most of today until that cookie kept screaming at me so I ate it to shut it up. Why didn't I throw it in the trash where it belongs? Thats what I just ingested, TRASH. How long do you guys think it will take me to get back into ketosis. There will be no more cheats, this feeling is SOOOOO not worth it. I literally hate myself right now Please help me, tell me it's not the end of the world, that I can pull myself out of this hole, and get back on track. I feel like a complete a**.

    Re: Shame on me

    Now that you've thoroughly scolded yourself, sit down and plan your menu for tomorrow. This is a learning process and you've learned: Don't do that again!!

    p.s. In the upcoming days, maybe you can figure out a better plan so you won't sabotage yourself again.

        Thanks you guys, I think I really needed to come clean, if I had done that after my first cheat on Sunday, I could have very well avoided the cheat today At least the bad foods are gone (would have been better if they had been in the trash) but gone is gone, and they were the only bad food items in the house so tomorrow is a new day, and I will make the best of it! Thanks again for the support! It's exactly what I needed!

          Knowing what triggered your cheat is really important - you can plan for the next time you are in a similar situation. Cheating is a slippery slope (as you have learned the hard way) so get back on track before it is too late!!!! It sounds like your mind is back in the game! Best wishes,

            Those cookies calling your name is a great reason to keep some spray cleaner around. Before you are ready to give in, just spray with something nasty and then throw it in the trash. That completely removes any danger of you eating trash. I actually do this. It works.
            People who say it can't be done, should not interrupt those doing it.

              Thanks Julie, today is a new day and I feel much better!

              Sunny, that is an awesome idea! I will definitely keep that in mind, ewww the thought of eating Lysol is pretty disgusting, but very effective

              Thanks again for the support everyone!
