Hubby and I had several events this weekend we wanted to participate in fully and not worry about the diet (one was a gourmet cooking class we won at an auction). We've done so well for the last 6+ weeks and made the conscious decision to do this starting dinner Saturday and ending dinner Sunday.

While we enjoyed the day...now, I am mad at myself for even going off my plan. Not, as I would in the past, because I wasn't prepared or hadn't planned it. But rather because I HAD planned it, and wish I hadn't. Nothing I ate made it worth it. It feels weird because for so long I feel like food was the center of happy things for me (big italian familes tend to bring that out in people ).

What I realized is, that now that I am in control of my eating and eating for the health, rather than to be social or "feel" a certain way.

I guess I learned a good lesson - I LOVE the way I feel eating this way! It isn't that i feel deprived....it's that I have chosen not to have these things and they are for good reason.

Today I feel sluggish, and moody. And I can't wait until ketosis kicks back in...and never mind that the scale says I gained 3 pounds

My body taught me a lesson...and I have to be sure I listen and remember Nice to have the reminder before Easter! Chances are greater that I won't give in to the Cadbury Creme Eggs and Peeps Hope everyone has a wonderful Monday!
