  • Re: 2008 How Long Can You Go??? WOE Cheat Free Challenge

    Hi,

    I have to go to conferences from time to time. I tend to assume there will be nothing to eat and prepare food to take with me. Then, you needn't starve. Often there is some salad and meats on the buffet that are ok and then you look less weird.

    If I going to something like this, especially if staying overnight, I take hardboiled eggs, cherry tomatos, chopped up celery, nuts (when at that rung) and cheese. It's not ideal but these foods travel quite well and can stop you from dying of hunger (and lunging for pizza, etc in desparation).

    As for hidden carbs avoid all sauces except knows know to be ok. Pesto, mayo, etc are normally fine. I don't normally eat salad dressings, so don't know about them.

    When I say I eat my own food, I mean I take it with me and eat in my room, or pop outside for a snack. Taking food to actually to the buffet is beyond me!

    Good luck!

      40 days

      Sometimes I question if I consider what I'm doing as cheating when I eat my veggies alone for a snack instead of with my fat.....then I sit back and remind myself how this is not a cheat and just to be proud that I am not sticking something bad in my mouth. I will take full credit for my 40 days!

            Day 16 done. I ate too much, but it was all legal. I'm getting a lot of extra delicious tomatoes from the garden, so I am eating way too many.

            Sunny!

                    I want to be in on this challenge! I've been *virtually* cheat-free since starting this WOE 7/20. But on 7/25 I had my class reunion... no food cheating but I drank 2 keystone lites. (The next morning I was still in the pink/purple on my keto strip, whew! AND still lost some weight... yay!) But since that night I can now say I've been cheat-free for 8 days... dedicated to keepin' it that way! (At least until my next class reunion, hehe

                      Day 2

                      I went to buy a car on Wednesday and didn't know it was going to take so long to have my other car traded in, and wait for the salesman, etc...We were there for 7 hours!!! I had only eaten breakfast and I was about to faint and I had a nauseous migraine . I had my son's Mambo candy's in my purse, I would have opted for the no-no of Tylenol if I had any, but didn't have any, so I had one piece of the candy. I felt better when I ate it but was so mad that it was my only option. Was still purple on the ketostix the next day.

                          Hi everyone!

                          Welcome Mommiedearest

                          Well, the evil atkins bars and me clashed again and this time spilled into a cheat. No excuses, but I need to be aware of the pattern. So day 1 here.

                            Day 1 for me again, too. I went to a family reunion yesterday... stayed strong in the face of macaroni & cheese, rice krispy treats and chocolate cake. I was so proud of myself. Then went fishing with my niece and she picked me some blackberries... gulp! I ended up eating like 20 of them!They weren't even all that good.

                              Back to day 1 again - been on 3 day binge and gained like 7lbs! Didn't even enjoy the food....urghhh. Square one.

                                Day 3, yep, had to start over after fighting cravings. Went for some white crackers rather than sugar. DANG IT!
                                The good news is that i've lost 5 pounds of the ten pounds that I gained when breaking my sweetner fast. Back in the saddle with that aswell.
