Mmmmmm, I cheated
I cheated. It was my first *SERIOUS* cheat in months, since I started
in fact. I had, among other things: challah bread dipped in honey potato latkes sweet carrots triple chocolate brownie pizza apple crisp cheesecake banana cake chocolate chip ice cream and... you know what? It was good. I won't pretend I didn't enjoy it, or say that with all that sugar "it was just too sweet for me"... because it wasn't too sweet for me. It was heaven, just like it was before I started this WOE. But, I also realize that I've made too much progress to ever go back to eating that way full time. It's nice to do, maybe once or twice a year. I bet I gained at least 5 pounds tonight... darn and I was doing so well. Well, double time on the treadmill tomorrow.

Get right back on and don't woorry about it. any initial weight gain you
see is probably water. I noticed that after my first BIG cheat (chicken fried steak, three helpings of mashed spuds, bisguits & gravy and biscuits & honey--topped off with birthday cake and REAL ice cream) the weight loss actually accelerated. Note that that was just one meal and I jumped right back on the wagon. Keep up the good work! ADC 250/190/185 "Jim Marnott" wrote in message .. . I cheated.

Man, that was a lot of sugar in a short amount of time. Probably had more carbs in one night, than I've had in the entire three months I've been eating this way. Take care, Carmen |

Nope, neither of you are alone at all! Every time I've cheated I *do* regret
it afterwards, but I sure as heck love every bite as I'm doing it. Debbie "Carmen " wrote in message ...

Well, I gained 3 pounds from last night's fun. I figure about 1½ will
come off easily (water?) and the rest I'll have to work at. Back to induction for a few days. JM 231/194/204 Atkins since 22 May '03 Jim Marnott wrote: I cheated.

They just set me off! I am back on induction, too -- and worried about my mom's break-fast. THAT will be a challenge. Is Passover too far away to start worrying about that, too? -- nimue "Because the thing about the Nerds, what made them so appealing, was that not only are they underdogs, they are underdogs who accept other underdogs unconditionally.

Sounds wonderfully tempting.
I'd like to be one of those who doesn't care for sweets anymore.. but that's just not me. I have a major sweettooth.. the richer the better. One thing that I have noticed that my tastebuds have changed 'against'.. bread(white) and potatoes and rice. I have to cover them with a tremendous amount of spices /topping in order to enjoy them the least little bit. Sounds like you are being sensible about it.. and only wishing to enduldge once or twice a year this way. Hey.. It's for life.. you would be silly to say 'never'. in my opinion. Enjoy... get on track the next day.. more exercise, more water, more lc veggies.. You're doing great ~Karen~ On Sat, 27 Sep 2003 22:23:52 -0400, Jim Marnott wrote: I cheated.
