No cheating here. No reason to.

What's your plan for getting back on track?

Re: Confess did you cheat yesterday for xmas?

I did, but it doesn't bother me. I had a piece of pie and some chocolates. Still feel that I did very well - avoided the Lasagna, garlic bread, potato dish, taco/bean dip, etc...just makes me a little more focused today, do a little more exercise and lots of water.

I didn't cheat. I only need to keep reminding mom that I want less meat/nuts/cheese and more veggies. I always thought my family is eating plenty of vegetables... but now I realize they are eating significantly fewer than I do on Atkins.

No way did I cheat. I don't like toxic poison in my body

Re: Confess did you cheat yesterday for xmas?

Nope, I didn't cheat. What is so weird, though, is I didn't feel tempted to eat anything I shouldn't. I made a low carb cheesecake and splurged on a small slice of that ... it felt like I was cheating.
I was tempted to have some champagne, but didn't do it.

Depends what you call cheating...I ate legal foods, but too much of them.

I'd glad there are so many who were able to stay on plan....unfortunately I wasn't one of them

Same here! I allowed myself some extra rich dishes (like loaded caulitatoes, lc cheesecake and a few dips w/ sour cream w/ my veggies) which put me a little over on cheese and dairy, but I feel pretty good about avoiding all of the sugar and bad starches!

Yep, I knew there was a reason we've become friends on this journey.

Two days a year I do this and there are no guilt trips for me. So far, I've suffered no noticeable ill effects from it. Slow losing? Oh, sure, but that has been true over the entire journey even sticking closely to plan.

Am I advocating it for everyone? No way. If you have trouble getting back on track after overdoing it for a day, you should probably ignore what I do and stay on track without deviation. If I had trouble getting back on track, I wouldn't do this, either.

And, for atkinsgal before she asks, my plan for getting back on track is to just do it. Actually, the whole deal is my plan, including those two days a year (Thanksgiving and Christmas) when I eat too many calories.

Re: Confess did you cheat yesterday for xmas?

I seriously have no plans butI will wake up and weigh myself and seeing the numbers on scale will give me the push I need and Im sick of feeling bloated as I keep going on and off plan.I have posted this post to prove that I could have stayed on plan like most of you.Well done all you that stayed on plan.I need to get back on track ,change my weight loss tracker and stop ignoring the fact that I have put on at least 7lb because this month I kept cheating.I will let you all know how much I weigh tomorrow and will start fresh with positive attitude.

Re: Confess did you cheat yesterday for xmas?

I like the idea of fresh and positive
Sham you are about the most positive I know of. Keep it going.

As for me - I have been good. Not perfect but good.

Re: Confess did you cheat yesterday for xmas?

I strayed a little but it wasn't too bad and today I'm back on track and feeling fine. I need to get some exercise now.
