after a mom's day splurge im on detox... a small piece of a very sinfull cake and a bite of taco salad (i had requested them to not put the chips in and let me get some befor ... but they forgot) but after i ate that cake.. i had kicked 2 days worth of carbs in that cake probly..

i have increased my water and im eating mostly all proteing the rest of the day.. if i eat anything at all.. i just want to sleep.. and even tho i had so much suggar... this isnt the first time i cheated and realy never had an issue w/ foods after...

Yep get right back in the saddle! Extra water for sure and keep at it tomorrow, too. Don't be surprised if you have the blahs until your body gets past the sugar. It's so easy to slide into the trap of a 'little cheat' that becomes a new habit. Then before you know it, you're doing the 'sorta low carb' thing and not getting any of the benefits.


Good luck getting back on the horse that throwed ya<G>.

You sound dedicated Gilley! Good for you! The detox sounds fine to me. I wouldn't do it for too long thou. You really weren't all that bad. The cake was a no no! But, maybe just detox for a day or some and then get back into whatever you were doing before.

Good Job! On not eating more! Because the more you get the more you want!

Ginger, you said it! Doing that "sorta low carb thing" doesn't work! I am back in the saddle from my Mother's Day disaster, too. And, I did some hard thinking about why I'm not losing like I think I should. 1.)Not enough water.2.)Too many carbs &/or calories. Just because it's lowcarb doesn't mean you can eat the whole box, right? and 3.)Lack of exercise. So, I will be working on portion control, water consumption, and getting more exercise. Thanx for giving my half effort a name!

Thanks Ginger, that "sorta low carbing thing" is right where I am and with my reading it from someone else it made realise who am I trying to fool, ihave fallen off the wagon and now need to get back at it. Thank you for the reminder:o

You're very welcome, Christina. That's what we're all here for.. share our experiences and remind each other of what we *know* but try to ignore sometimes . I've been there, done that and paid the price.


Take care!

Ginger
