Re: How Long Can You Go???

Maribelle, the reason why I thought I was out of keto is coz I was craving for everything under the sun today. I went into an ice cream bar and they were all these ice cream cakes and I was thinking to myself, I cheated last night maybe I should take a day off today and start the whole thing tomorrow, thank God I was with my husband who gently reminded me "I had a lovely cold bottle of water in the car..lol Grrr, I practically ran out of the shop and sat in the car guzzling my water**sigh**

I couldnt help it and weighed myself this evening....4lbs down in six days?? I'll be back full swing tomorow if I can just get to bed its 1:30 am and I am wide awake!!!

I really hope I am not out of keto, well if I am I only got myself to blame.. & by the way, no I don't use the test strips.

Good luck to every one of us for tomorrow!!!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Here's a couple buttons I came up with. I thought you could pick the style you like, or if you don't like them, suggest something else. Consequently, for the other ones (2 weeks, a month, etc) do you just want different colors?



Today was a great day for me btw I did have to have a snack fix, but it was cream cheese w/ splenda on a revolution roll.

I skimmed through the posts....I can't talk sweet talk.

Cool Beans Christine!!! I did good too today, no cheats. I know I can and anyone else can do it cheat free, I did for 4 months, but what messed me up was that I had twisted thoughts and never started OWL. So this time around I'm listening to the old timers and follow through and not stop in mid-stream, because I drowned.

BTW Christine, can I have one of your buttons please?

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Christine, could I request one like the purple one, but in light to medium pink?

For our first week could we have it by day? Like "cheat free One Day"?

Just curious.

Thanks for making them! They look GREAT!!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Ohh I need to try that. Does it make a chocolately cream cheesery splendid thing?

Mmmm hmmmm...... it really helps a chocolate craving.

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Good Idea kat. Now this is just a suggestion: Christine how about Days 1-6, then Weeks 1-3, and finally Months 1-11, and for all the REAL Good/Hardcore folks Years 1-whatever. That is a goal worth working up to!!!!
Shiny colors like gold, silver, blue, red, pink, purple, green, brown and on and on, that's if you have the time.

Re: How Long Can You Go???

I was on day 9 on induction, and I totally freaked out today. My boss asked me to run to dunkin donughts for her and I was so fixated on their muffins. I got through it, but when I got home I ate 3 cheetoes. Then some peanut butter, and went to my neighbors house and raided her junk food. I ate a kitkat, more cheetoes and oreos. Now I feel totally sick. But I guess I know now what will happen if I do it again...NOTHING GOOD~! I'll start again tomorrow back at day 1.

So I did ok today! Lets see...ummmmm....

2 eggs for breakfast with a splash of heavy cream and one slice american cheese

Lunch = ham lunch meat with cream cheese and pickles, along with a salad with one serving of ranch dressing and a Zero

Dinner= baked ham, broccli in butter and spices and a salad w/ dressing w/ zero!

Snack= one sugar free 2.5 net carb baby ruth while grocery shopping.

I think all in all it was a better day than I have had in a long time!!!!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Congrats Tirtle!!!! You did good, but Watch out for the ham=processed & have sugars/sliced cheese=processed. Please no sugar-free stuff if you've ever craved sugar/sweets. Looks like you need to eat more, Please don't count your servings, eat fat liberally and ONLY what is stipulated in DANDR!!!! How much water did you drink?

Re: How Long Can You Go???

OH MY GOSH!!! WHAT I HAVE MISSED!!! I leave for a couple of hours, and there's three pages of posts to read through! Whew! Ok, please forgive me if I don't respond to everyone's posts, as I feel kind overwhelmed at the moment.

First off, WELCOME TO BRANEMI!!! Our newest member! That brings our total up to 12, I think, last count. You had your sugar fun, today, baby. Now you're sick and ready to throw all that crap away, and I expect you to report front and center tomorrow with shinny shoes! Are you ready??? We know you can do it!!!

Ok, Christine, I LOVE THE BUTTONS!!! That's exactly what I was looking for! They were neither girlie, or boyie, and the are just the right size! I liked the idea of differant colors for differant achievements, but hey...whatever you can do, at whatever speed you can do it at is MORE THAN ENOUGH, since its all volunteer...and I'm sure you have a life out side our little playroom here! THANK YOU, and humble bows a plenty!!!

Tirtle I'm so proud of you!!! You made it, and you're feeling really positive!!! WAY TO GO!!!

IhateMyFat...although it could be likely that the cravings were due to the drinks last night, I really don't think you had that much. Not that I advocate alchohol before its rung. I think what we all experience after a "cheat" is that "well, since I did it yesterday, why not just start tomorrow, and have a few things I've been missing today." Its the whole guilt complex thing. I was thinking about it this morning.... On one hand its like we're rewarding ourselves in a way for cheating, by giving ourselves comfort food, but on the other hand its like punishing ourselves, because we're only increasing our bad health! And yes, one candy bar (for example) can hurt, because its all part of the destructive behavior that got us to this point. I am SOOOO proud of you for going out to your car, and getting away from the temptation! That is what seperates those who succeed from those who give up and say "it didn't work for me". I think all of us here are ready to become the one who succeeds, or we wouldn't be here. So, GOOD FOR YOU!!! Have an extra glass of water! You've earned it!
Cristy...

I seem to alternate between not wanting to eat and being hungry and tonight it's not hungry. Must be going around or something! I don't feel very well tonight though so that's probably it.... headache and tummyache... bleah.

Sounds like classic Re-Induction flu to me! Keep guzzlin' that water, and it will get you through! Good on ya for making through today!!!

Everyone else...BIG HUGS FOR GETTING THROUGH ANOTHER DAY CHEAT FREE !!!! I'm so happy for you all, and proud of you all!!! And by the way...I made it too! Only for me the scale went up 5 pounds today! If I get b-itchy in the next few days, you'll know why! (tehehe) Its about that time.
