  • A bit of a nightmare

    Hi - I'm doing REALLY well with Atkins this time, feeling fantastic, not hungry and full of energy and Hope (at last). I am a wedding photographer and yesterday I did a long day of a beautiful wedding with lovely people and great shots - (said no to the Pimms and carby Canapes) and came home happy but tired. My family were all having a rare treat (oh my goodness) of Fish & Chips from the local take-away, crusty white bread and butter and a few cold beers. Not the normal supper we'd have but oh wow, what a treat!! I was Very Tempted (tired) but I think being in Ketosis helps and I took a deep breath, said no thanks - and had a Carb-free supper that I had to cook while they were all eating their fish and chips, and two pints of iced water instead. Went to bed So Proud of myself that I'd been so strong, I felt on top of the world. So then - I had this vivid dream. That I was at another wedding - and I literally must have been dreaming all night as it went on and on and I was running around photographing this couple at a wedding - mother of the bride - little flower girls, I tell you - I was EXHAUSTED. And finally, I was at the wedding reception and did the cutting of the cake shot and was waiting around a bit for the First Dance to begin, and I was offered some wedding cake. And there I was - sitting amongst all the wedding guests eating this huge (but HUGE - ENORMOUS) piece of Wedding Cake with home made vanilla ice-cream. And I ate it all - every single bit. I woke up - remembered my dream and I was like NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO - no no no - all those carbs!!. Woke my husband up and told him and he was lauging so much, teased me that I'd put on 2 kilos - and I ran to the scale and voila - it down!!! Just thought I'd give you all a bit of a laugh (and ps: sorry, but I really enjoyed that Wedding Cake )

      LOL I enjoyed your "dream"... and here's why... I'm one of the people that actually makes, delivers and sets up those gorgeous wedding cakes. I've had that nightmare too, of helping to eat it. My biggest "nightmare", is not taste testing the cakes before I deliver them. So far I havn't and I've been doing atkins for 11 days now. Good luck to you, keep up the good work!!!!

        Well done for getting through the wedding and the fish'n'chip supper unscathed
        Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
        Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!



        Check out our Low Carb Recipes website and add to it!!

          Haha I've dreamt about eating things I shouldn't have and been really relieved to wake up!

          You're job sounds interesting, and well done for getting through the chip temptation.

            lol - I'd rather be the one photographing the cake than the one making it!! well done you for not tasting! It's so worth it though, I haven't felt this good mentally or physically in a long time.

              I agree. Even though I've only lost 9 lbs on the scare, I feel really good. We just have to be patient and keep on going.... it's worth it just to feel this good at the moment.

                I had a very similar experience this weekend with temptation. I took my girls to Estes Park, Co which I swear is the candy and icecream capital of the world. The smells about killed me, and I even bought some for my girls. I resisted the urge to eat everything that smelled so good...and I was rewarded too with the scale going down.

                I have also been having vivid dreams of all the sugery stuff I used to eat, mainly donuts and chocolate. Then I wake up and want to smack myself. Oh well, what can I do...I take it one low-carb bite at a time!
