yesterday morning we had "graduation" at my new job (I am now officially released to the real working world instead of training class.) They brought in donuts and bagels for us.
I was doing good, I had my Atkins shake in hand and a Gol D Lite mousse pillow candy. I consumed them and was refusing as everyone kept saying "Oh come on, you deserve a treat." Then after they all stopped hounding me and I got a whiff of a donut next to me, I gave in. So I had HALF of a chocolate glazed. It really was disappointing...I didn't find it to be enjoyable at all. So I was happy I'd only eaten half.
As the day went on, I was good again. I had a triple cheeseburger,no bun or condiments, at Wendy's. I had a Gol D Lite coffee-flavored hard candy, and a Gol D Lite lollipop later in the day and drank 32 oz. of water throughout the workday.
Then I came home and curled up on the couch with a new book I'm reading, "The Secret to LowCarb Success," when the phone rang. My friend Aaron wanted to go grab dinner and a movie. So he came and got me and we headed out. He was in the mood for Italian and so we went to this delicious place in town. I was going to get eggplant so the carbs would be low, but I gave in and ordered Angel hair Pasta with sauteed garlic in an olive oil,wine,cream sauce with black olives. It was incredible!!!! I ate the entire plate (huge plate!)
I also had 2 tall glasses of water. About 20 minutes later, I couldn't stop yawning and we decided against the movie. I came home and went right to bed at 9:00 !!!!!!!
Of course today when I awoke, I was STARVING! And craving sweets tremendously. So I'm going to make some bacon and eggs to get my glucose back in check.
I had to share this with you guys. I felt so ashamed lastnight, I'd even considered vomiting to get rid of the carbs! I suppose I shouldn't be so hard on myself...after all, the Carb Addict's Diet allows you a carb meal per day. And the scale didn't change at all when I weighed this morning. Plus the fact that I'd eaten all those low-carb candies yesterday, which have maltitol and act as if you'd eaten three cups of fiber probably helped. But I am the kind of person who's very critical of myself and all I could do after this binge was tell myself how horrible I am and how I have no willpower.
I feel better about it today. I figure I'll just go back on strict induction again for a few days.
Thanks for letting me share!

Tsk Tsk Tiffany! Just kidding. It's good to know nobody's perfect! I've been off Atkins for about 2 weeks now because of my horrendous kidney stone (it did pass by the way, excruciatingly painfully!) I've been on extreme low-fat for these 2 weeks and have lost an additional 2 pounds. But I have to admit, Atkins is MUCH more satisfying than all this salad, veggies, pasta, etc., that I've been eating on low-fat. Can't wait to get back on Atkins (or maybe SugarBusters). Anyway, good luck, Tiffany. You'll get back on track I know it! Posts: 16 | From: USA | Registered: Feb 2002

Tif I know how you feel,if I have something that im not suppost to I feel so bad. I made a ginger bread the other day for my company,when they ate it I didnt have any,but after they left I wanted it so bad . I cut a sliver off it just to taste it,but felt so guilty I spit it out.I think Dr Atkins should be so proud that he has us thinking about yourselfs. It truley is a diet that I will use for the rest of my life. Im still staying very low on the carbs trying to lose as much as I can before eating some carbs again. This room in a great place to come and share. Thanks And you keep up the good work. We will all lose this weight together Posts: 14 | From: new hampshire | Registered: Feb 2002

Well, I'm back on track again. Lost 3 of the 4 lbs. I had gained back. But I can't seem to get back into ketosis and I'm retaining water so much that by the end of the day I look like a total puffball!

I missed being there to lean support during your fall but I'm so glad to hear you are back in the saddle with the weight loss. As long as you are losing what difference does it make whether you are in ketosis or not, go with it!!!
Keep up the good work!
