New to Atkins - 3 Days In

[msmotivation]

Hi Everyone!

Just introducing myself. I started Atkins 3 days ago after lurking this board - you guys are awesome. I cheated once and had some cheesecake, but I acted as if it never happened. I've learned a lot and can't wait to melt away these pounds... so far, I've lost 5!

I will come back here to update my progress.

Welcome to ADBB!

I acted as if it never happened

That's not exactly the best way to deal with it, imo. You're only giving yourself permission to cheat again.

Why did you cheat? Understanding this will help you prevent cheating for the same reason in the future.

It did happen though.

It probably set you back a few days, too. Maybe even as long as a week.

For the future, remember that choices have consequences.

I know you guys... I don't plan on doing it again. I just felt that I needed to "confess" so you can get on my case! I know it set me back and I don't plan on doing it again.

I guess my point was... I didn't let the fact that I messed up stop me from continuing on!

Re: New to Atkins - 3 Days In

when you said you acted like it never happened.. I was kinda sure you meant that you didn't mean to let that one slip up mess you up forever... that you planned to get back on track and do it right...

at least that's what I thought..
