Wedding cupcakes

[C_smith81]

I started Atkin's on July 18th and have lost 18 pounds. I haven't really been tempted to cheat or eat sweets or anything like that. I just have one question. I'm getting married next Saturday. Back in March, we ordered cupcakes for our wedding. Basically, I want to eat one of these cupcakes. We paid good money for these puppies, so I definitely want to enjoy at least one! I'm wondering, if I eat one, what will happen, and how hard will it be to get back on track? I've worked so hard and plan to continue to do so. Any advice?

I have found that when I eat one thing like that, I don't gain weight but I don't lose it either. Its just neutral for a few days. That is as long as it is one thing and doesn't lead to others. That's just my experience and someone else might tell you something different.

Its your wedding and imho (in my humble opinion), you deserve to celebrate and be a part of your own special day. Congratulations!

You will likely get kicked out of ketosis for a couple days. Just get right back on the wagon first thing the next morning and you'll get back into it. You could also try drinking a little extra water for a couple days.

Congrats on your upcoming wedding

Ok, thanks gals! I am doing great on Atkin's, but I also want to be able to enjoy my day! Thank you so much for the tips!

You probably would enjoy your day more withoutthe cupcake. If you eat it it will not be as delicious as you think it is going to be. You have weaned your body off carbs and are buring fat now. Your body will go back to burning carbs. Whatever you decide congratualtions anyway.

Have a beautiful day. I hope you feel like a princess as I did on my wedding day 23 years ago. May you also enjoy a long and happy life together!

Congratulations. It seems that if you can at least perform some type of high intensity exercise in the days that follow, it may not hit you as hard.

As for how hard it will be to get back on track, that's a personal thing. Some people can eat just one and be okay for another 3 months. Some people can't eat just one and will spiral out of control. You know you better than anyone else.
