for one thing that is what i was doing i know that i can't have the things
that i did ate and i haven't had any. also my point i was trying to make was
that it wasn't even really that much for what i ate. and when i do over eat
i don't make a big deal out of it. i do start over, the other point or thing
that i was mentioning was that I had signs that I was getting my tom, which
i have got by the way.
thE REASON i have the webjournal is so that i can keep track of
what i eat. and i know that it isn't a big deal that i over ate. thats not
what the post was about.
that is what i am doing i have taken things out of my diet. i have given up
a number of things. if you took a look at my journal u would have noticed
that i have cut several and have changed a number of things in my eating.
also have done my research, i have read and reread both of dr atkins books i
have notes that i have gotten off of the internet and from here that i check
and double check each day. i write everything down that I eat and drink. And
you know what I must be doing something right cause i have lost 6lbs and 10
inches in one week since yes I am going to say it starting my diet over. i
am pleased with my progress thus far even if some people think that I am
waisting my time or that I am not making any progress. i know that there are
people on this board who are nice and the ones that ...... well i'll just
end it here.
and to finish with what u said. i have learned along time ago that i don't
have to feel guilty if I let myself have something that isn't low carb or
low cal

I wouldn't consider it a restart... You overate for a weekend. So
what, move on. If anything I think it important to document it's
occurence, what you ate, why you ate it. It may be important later on
to realize that certain situations or food are trouble spots for you.
You will slip up again, we all will. Looking at it as a complete
derailment is just bad for the ego. Just incorporate that into part of
learning how to eat for the rest of your life.
You have to remember that Atkin is not a one-size fits all. You have
to experiment to find out about your own eating and body. Certain odd
foods may trigger hunger, phsyiologically or psychologically. When my
sister first attempted to quit smoking she of course gained weight,
but she was also conscoius that everytime she drank coffee she wanted
a cigarette. Psychologically they were tied together. We have no idea
what association are wired into our brain. Or when a food will affect
our body. While at Induction levels Canteloupe put on a
disprportionate amount of water weight for me. I'm betting that in
later stages when I'm eating more carbs that won't be true--so for now
canteloupe, even 2-3 bite size chunks are out. Sauerkraut seemed to
egg on hunger too--that was a weird one. Yet, so far chocolate-flavors
aren't horrible triggers- and I AM a chocholic.
You've got to look at this more as learning and be willing to give up
and add things to learn their effects on you. Learn why the weekend
went astray, and what food you choose to overeat on. It may be a sign
that you have a food in your LC diet that is still triggering
cravings. Until you are willing to experiment and take that trigger
food out you are struggling against yourself. Artificially sweetened
products, alcohol, and others are suspect triggers. Medication can be
as well but there aren't always substitues for necessary ones.
Primarily, stop beating yourself up and start dissecting what you did,
you might notice a pattern or find a key to avoiding those binges.
