after two months, i cheated only twice.
and then came this week.
i have eaten burgers with friesandwith the bun.
i lostweight during induction, but not an ounce since. i even gained back a pound or two.
i got sick and depressed.
i am going to eat whatever i want for the next few days and go back on an induction after sunday. my hubby's 40th birthday party.
i want cake, but mostly i want ice cream.

Before you eat another carb, be forewarned that going back and forth between a low-carb and high-carb eating plan can make it more and more difficult for LC to be effective.

My suggestion would be to stay as low carb as possible until you are ready to start again. The best possible solution is to start back to very low carbs right now and, if you must, allow yourself to indulge just a little on your DH's birthday.

Good luck!

i don't know. one of the other monitors said your body adjusts to changes and sometimes needs to be woken up.

OK! Well, good luck to ya!

i think i'm just losing some of the patient persistence ...

like i said, i did just fine during induction, haven't cheated much at all and have seen no results. and i've looked around andthere seem to be alot of people here like that. i think i'm just getting disenchanted with the whole program.

i will be tiny piece of cake.

like at the chinese buffet. they slice them so small, they are more like petite fours. and the chinese women are just as small.

thanks for the encouragement. i am not giving up.

Hi Venda! You sound so discouraged but you have done marvelously on this WOL! It sounds like you might be dealing with cravings. You might benefit from some supplements or changes in your plan. Sounds to me like your cravings are just running crazy. Are you eating enough? Sometimes if your diet is too low cal you will start craving like crazy. I would do a search here under "craving" and see about making some adjustments. In the meantime, understand that we have all been there! Finding some good advice might help the cravings decrease and help you get back on track! Cindi
