Ketosis!

[APanthesilia]

A few days ago I posted because my little sticks weren't turning purple but I knew I was sticking to the diet and I was getting very frustrated! People here were great and gave me good advice and then even though the sticks hadn't changed I noticed an amazing burst of energy, a kind of funny taste in my mouth (I've never been so happy to have funny breath!) and really just a positive outlook on this whole venture but the stick still said negative!

Then today I went out to dinner and ordered a salad (of course) but my boyfriend (who could eat continually for days and never ever gain a pound) ordered pizza! It looked SO good and I really wanted to cheat, I kept thinking "if I'm not even in ketosis what does it matter?" but I was good and stuck to it. When I got home I tested with the little stick again and it turned purple- I am so glad I didn't cheat! I'm feeling really great about it- not only because the stick turned but also because I know now that even if the stick doesn't turn I can still be in ketosis. I'm sure that I have been over the past week or so but the sticks just didn't change. So I'm just sticking to what I've been doing and feeling great about it. My clothes are even starting to fit better after just 1.5 weeks. Hooray! I've got a long way to go before I reach my goal but this is a great start!

Keep up the good work

And dont worry about that pesky stick too much - I never saw any change of colour while losing 140 pounds!!

Great job resisting the temptation!
