I screwed up yesterday! It was supposed to be day 3 of induction but I caved and had not only a bowl of ice cream but also a piece of cheese cake! I DIDN'T EVEN WAN'T IT!!!! I was just feeling like crap .. it was the day before my birthday .. i was blue about that .. (cause it seemed like I didn't have any plans or worse noone cared) I also had a big fight with my sis and It's that time of the month and bad cramps! So I caved! I'm sooo upset with myself. I seriously was not hungry ... no appetite at all. But I figured it would make me feel better ... it was all over in 20minutes and I did NOT feel better ... just worse. Anyhow I ruined induction and it looks like today will be limited carbs but not below 20 because it is my b-day and it looks like there may be cake! What am i supposed to say 'no thanks .. it's my b-day but you all just have cake' most don't even know i'm on this diet! So i guess i will start really strictly tomorrow!
p.s. as it turns out i didn't gain or anything

Hi, Ann. Almost everybody screws up You'll notice there's no Saints Only forum here I think you're very wise to start over tomorrow AFTER your birthday (and )

Especially for those of us who led High Carb Lives (I certainly did) adjusting to this WOE can be difficult. People who were natural meat eaters and hated candy and bread have less of a problem, but if your entire life was junk food and sweets, it's hard.

A lot of the process is to substitute habits and retrain your tastes. I think it's a very good thing that your realized that the sweets didn't make you feel better -- some of us take years to figure that out! Good for you -- you got it the first time!

Have a very happy birthday party and start again tomorrow We're all pulling for you!

It' ok. I began induction a few weeks ago, but when Easter came, I ate things that I shouldn't including cake, candy, and pasta. But the next day, I got right back to low carbing. And I have continued to lose weight. I would have done the same thing for my birthday. I mean, it only happens once a year. So hang in there.
