Re: How Long Can You Go???

How long does it take to go into Ketosis?

It took me 4 days. Everyone is different. Today is my 4th day clean. I really think giving up the pepsi helped me.

TIRTLE!!! BIG HUGS!!!!!!!!! DON'T LET THE GUILT MONSTER GET YOU DOWN!!!! Just get back up, put your fall from your mind! TODAY IS A NEW DAY WITH NO MISTAKES IN IT!!! ( I got that line from the Anne of Green Gables movie, and it has stuck with me most of my life!) You enjoyed yesterday's food....well and good. You had your fun...now get up and walk away from it, back toward health and that baby you and DH want! You just have to sit down again, and write down what you want from this diet. What is it you are trying to achieve? And then ask yourself...How bad do I want this? Is it worth keeping the Zero's and the Coffee in my diet, when Dr. Atkins said to boot it during induction? Is it worth those yummy deep fried pickles even once? Is it worth the bun on that hamburger which would have been as good without it. These are the choices we're faced with everyday, and so we have to decide if what we are aiming for is worth the sacrifices. I know it is for you...you've already told me! It means children..for you and for me both! Here is the link to my "revelation" the other day...what led me to starting this challenge: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...ad.php?t=32272 Remeber PCOS can get you down, and cause you to have sugar cravings beyond normal. Those are the times to buckle down and say "Evil illness, you aren't going to beat me! TAKE THAT!" and eat a snack high in fat and lo in carbs to satisfy the hunger and kill the craving. We all know you can do it, and we're all behind you. You may be back at day 1, but its DAY 1 OF THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!

Thanks Mari for understanding where I was coming from. I just love all of you here!!!! The support is awesome!!!!!!!

Dophin, we just love you too!!! You're going to be our look out to keep us true! Its your special honor, and our special treat!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

I'm in Ketosis!

YEAH FOR YOU!!!! It is a good feeling, isn't it?!

Kat, it takes me almost two days to get back into keto, if I eat fatter cuts of meat. If I stay with leaner meats, it takes me up to four.

It was funny last night. I was SOOO hungry for something...I loved the little "cheesecake" concoction from the other night with cream cheese, sour cream, vanilla, splenda, and cinnamon....but I didn't have the carb room! I went back and forth with myself I don't know how many times. Finally I had celery and cream cheese. This morning it dawned on me...I COULD HAVE HAD IT, because I had missed dinner, and thats why I was hungry. DUH!!! It really was just a DITSY day for me yesterday. Glad I seem better today...and I'm down to 323 again. Was starting to worry about it a little.

To everyone...YOU ROCK FOR GETTING THROUGH ANOTHER DAY! HERE'S WISHING YOU ALL AN AWESOME ATKINS DAY TODAY!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Yesterday was cheat-free. Today will be. There are no other options!

I want the second number on the scale to change by the next time I get on it (August 9th) . . . . grrrrrr. It will be an eight . . . it will be an eight . . . rinse, repeat!

I hope everyone is well today. If not, then hop back on the wagon -- we're all here to pull you up!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Another cheat free day for me and i felt a lot lighter when i got up this morning.
Im almost sure i was bloated up with water retention cos i dont feel half as bad as i have been feeling.
Im gonna stay away from the scales though until till next weigh in day ,maybe those 5lbs gained might just disappear ....fingers crossed
