How Long Can You Go???

Re: How Long Can You Go???

OK!

Well, bump me back, 'cause I was bad yesterday. I splurged big time. I started out great:

2 eggs
1 bratworst sausage

...I got off early from work and went out to lunch. I got a chicken dipping platter at Sherri's, and everything on it was on plan, but I asked the waitress to leave off the fruit because I didn't want it. But they doubled the amount of cottage cheese to cover it, and dangit I ate it all:

1 chicken breast
1 cup lettace with 1 T ranch dressing
2 cups of cottage cheese
3 slice tomato

I planned on being good for holloween but when I got to the low carb candy isle I lost my cool. I bought one of those whitmans suger free chocolate candy boxes, one lc mint chocolate bar (russel stover SF) and a eat well, be well chocolate bar. Things went downhill from there, and I pretty much imploded.

5 candies out of the candy box (thank GOD for malitol or I would have eaten it all)
Ate the whole eat well be well bar!
And had two squares out of the mint bar.

Then I got hungry later and had food even after I told myself I wasn't going to in an attempt to regain control which failed:

2 tablespoons of the almond butter in the fridge
1 egg
2 bacon

Then before I went to bed I was starving, no doubt because of all the darned lc chocolate, and ate:

1 cup of cottage cheese
1 slice chedder
1 slice shaved ham

All in all I ate over 2,400 calories and the carb count had me on the floor twitching.


.................back in the saddle this morning, and I am sooooooooooooooooo going to take some lessons from this. >.<

Good Thursday morning, and day 3 for me. Its going well. The cravings have all but stopped, and I feel in control again. This time was a rough time restarting, but I'm here, and hopefully will stay here. Had such a yummy breakfast! 2 LoCarb tortillas, 2 eggs scrambled, a half piece of american cheese on each, with 1 ounce of Xtra lean ham, and 1/2 T. cream cheese. Its so nice to come up with something new once in a while...I get bored sometimes with my food choices, and I'm definitely sick of eating bacon!

Hoping you're all having a great day! Will get to that update, I promise!

You guys are a great example of how to jump right back after a bad day. Glad your back on track . Way to Go.

*Edited to Add* Today was my 7th day Cheat Free. I put my button up because I was too excited to wait 'till tomorrow. Guess that means I gotta be good for the rest of the night.

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Oh, I just need to join you all. Yesterday while I didn't cheat, I ate way to much, it seemed like all I did was eat and you can't lose weight by eating everything in the house even low carb, no carb stuff. So cause you guys inspire me, today is day one.

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Hey everyone...I got behind checking in...I am cheat free 94 days, or what ever my siggy says...this next week it will be 100 days...I made that date one of my biggie days...To celebrate 100 days, my DD and DH and I are going over to Stone Mountain and climbing it! We will take pictures and post them probably on my journal site..
This has long been a goal to make it this far, and a celebration by exercising sure is a new concept for us!!!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

So, I have found myself giving way to temptation too often lately. Just last night, my sister's Halloween candy was lying around, and I snuck a piece. I am so ashamed. But I always seem to do better with things when there's a challenge to be a part of. So, today is Day 1. I am cheat-free so far. And I will be. I'm gonna take this one day at a time. And I will report often.

No more cheating for me.

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Welcome Twilight!!

I have found this thread really helps keep me on track. Unfortunatley I had a bit of a slip up on friday, so today is Day 2 for me.

I'll be glad to have a Cheat Free Buddy who is so close in days as myself. We can meet all the important landmarks together . . . one week . . . one month . . . and so on.

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Still cheat free and going strong - just walked in from weighing at the doctors - I'm sad to report my weight climbed this week - I'm up 2 pounds.
But to look on the bright side.....I'm still in the 350's

tam! don't let that get you down too badly. your cheat free, you are taking care of business in the exercise challenges. i'd be willing to bet that isn't fat!

Thanks Jimmie I didn't think of it that way. I guess with walking 35 miles a week I'm bound to put some muscle on
I feel so much more happy
