Cheated on 3rd Day!

[skinnieminnie]

I'm disappointed in myself, yesterday after following the diet pretty well, I cheated! I had a handful of almonds and 3 strawberries. I was desperately hungry and I just indulged.

I'm back on the wagon today and I now always carry my trusted water bottle with me. I find that chugging water will ward off those hunger pangs and headaches. This is much harder than I thought!

We all have down days, and occassionally we fall.
You've got the right way of thinking though. Identify where you've gone wrong, admit it to yourself, and jump straight back on

Just keep going .. Tomorrow starts off cheat free!

Ask yourself why did you grab those foods (self sabotage?)
When there was many other alternatives you could have.

Perhaps go and prepare those alternatives now.

Cheers

Chin up.. We all go through this. You are off to a great start, you owned your mistake and made a plan to avoid it.

Thanks for the support! I know that I now need to bring prepared snacks with me like celery and cream cheese or something like that. I'm sitting at my desk chugging water right now, contemplating what my next snack be.

Good to hear you are back on again. Just don't give up.

I was tempted yesterday but I asked myself is it worth it (?)

Answer: NO.

I feel that I have to say NO NO NO to break thru the cycle.

Yes the water is hard. I think I'm drowning.

But I've read how much the water can make a difference.

I see we started the same day but I have 20 pounds more to lose than you.

Keep it up Minnie - you can do it.

I know you are upset about cheating, but I can't help but think that at least you cheated with healthy foods instead of something like doretos or cookies. Hey in a couple of weeks (if you choose to move up the ladder) you can eat those nuts and berries.

For now a no no, but at least you are making plans to keep your snacks handy. Good luck!!

Make sure you have phase appropriate snacks with you or have access to those snacks. They can be as simple as a can of tuna, a few hard boiled eggs, sliced pepperoni, veggies and dip or even cheese.

Also, you can take tylenol to get through those headaches and such! I've had to reinduct a few times more than I'd care to admit, and tylenol really does help!

OK question..... After you cheat on any day , Does it mean you have to start over day 1 or do you just jump back on ..
