bad eating day for me

what an awful day of eating for me. For some reason, feeling yucky--maybe coming down w/something--caused me to eat way out of my usual norm. I was on a mission, ladies....to eat all I could that I've been avoiding. I did a great job of it, too!! I feel so bad for doing it, but by admititng it here, I hope that it will motivate me to get back on the wagon tomorrow.

Sorry to unload, but the "confession" is giving me motivation!

Good luck to everyone and way to go to everyone who is sticking to their plans.

Dawn ~ don't think you're alone in it. It happens to all of us, even the "good ones". I happened to have two very large choc chip cookies last night. That was after my first 8 days of induction on Atkins and losing 14 lbs in that time. One would think that that alone would be inspiration to not cheat/fall off the wagon or that how could I possible cheat after only 9 days?! Well, it happened, and yes...I enjoyed those damn cookies! I'll say it, I'll admit it! But today, a different story. I exercised a bit longer and ate way less than the 20 alotted carbs for the day. And now, I'm fine. Can I say that it won't happen again? Nope, I won't make that promise. But I will promise that I won't beat myself up for it because we are human. And you will be fine. Brush yourself off and get back up and start all over again. We have faith in you! You can do it!

Good Luck!

Kerry P.S. I'm new to the whole message board thing. I post on the Atkins sight but just found this one. I love the support here!

Dawn,

Don't be too hard on yourself. Everyone has a bad day now and then. One or two bad days aren't going to hurt you as long as you start over again tomorrow. Shawna had a great idea of planning out your menu for the next day. I know that always helps me. Hang in there. sharla

Maybe this is why my weight loss isn’t going so well but if really need something I will have it…. I try not t eat as much of it as I used to but I figure if I don’t allow myself somethings then I will end up falling off the wagon completely but I could say this at least nothing you ate got stuck and broke off in the roof of your mouth!!! Just so yall know my taco shell is finally out but boy my mouth still hurts….

Thanx Shawna and I just looked at your web page. WOW! Good for you! I am in a similiar situation. I started Atkins about 9 days ago after realizing I am at my heaviest i've ever been in my whole entire life. At 265 to start and only 5 feet tall, I never realized I was this heavy, I never thought I looked it until I saw some recent pics of myself. As I sit here right now, I'm at 250. Now I realize that my 9 days' loss is untypical and I have a long way to go. It's just that I get very depressed thinking about how long it will take me to get to my goal of 140. You look amazing! How did you do it? What plan to you follow. Of course, any inspiration or advice you can give would be greatly appreciated. You are an inspiration! Keep up the great work and I look forward to seeing more pics!
