I lost it...

Maybe you have me confused with someone else? I have only been back here like 3 days, I responded to one of your threads, one time, yesterday, and that is the only thread of yours I have ever seen. And you didnt ask me/tell me anything at all. But yeah, no problem. I wont respond to them, but before you say things like that, make sure you are talking about the right situation and person before you embarass them like that. Thanks.

Ummmmm.... Hrm. Not really sure what I walked into here. I think I'm one of those umm, strict people at times. I was actually pretty sad when they wouldn't let you type **** anymore, since my favourite nickname was "Gym ****". But anyway.

I wanted to say COngrats on jumping back on the wagon, Meli.

I agree with Sarina about keeping things around your lair. I always keep frozen and canned veggies as well as canned tuna, salmon and crab. That way if I don't get a chance to go to the grocery, there is *something* to eat. Even if it's not really something as delicious as it could be. I then force myself to go shopping for fear of starving to death (or cheating) the next day.

Ok your right.. it wasn't you it was megs you just sound so much like her I mistook you... I apologize

[surreys_princess]

No worries. I just kinda thought you were having a rough day. Good luck, and dont worry, the hurdles and all, *this too shall pass*!! Smiles all around!!!

I haven´t even had the energy to get on the computer to come here... So anyway. I start again tomorrow and I hope 2 off meals didn´t harm me tooooo much.... I hope to get back to ketosis soon... ok.. I will say I come on the second time around club because you are less critical than the atkins nazis on the main board I love us imperfect gals!!!

Hello Melimeli,
Great to hear you're back on track. That-a-girl! Always pushing forward. That's what it takes. I can't even count how many oopses I've had over the last 4 1/2 years on Atkins. But I can say that each time I picked myself up, brushed myself off and went back on plan 100%.
No, 2 off meals didn't do much damage. It will only take 3-4 days to get back into ketosis. You'll be melting in no time.
And yes, i'm one of those imperfect girls that has lost over 100 lbs., reversed my type-2 diabetes, stablized my blood pressure and have accomplished a healthy blood chemistry. Not to mention being able to kick many meds to the curb. Not bad for being imperfect.
Just flush your system with lots of water, you'll be good to go......literally. Hehe
Wishing you the best of success and lite.
Sincerely, Sherri

Hi Meli,

I am one of those folks for whom tough love works in some things but not in others. For me, tough love over the internet never works. Like someone else said, you can't hear the tone of voice and caring behind the words. So if i am already feeling down, sometimes reading posts makes me feel even more like a loser. For myself, some of the best moderators have been those that give you a "pull up your bootstraps, you can do it" speech. Its just a bit different in the way it comes across but it makes a world of difference.

Sorry for your bad week. Don't feel like you are alone in this. I would bet many of us lapse occasionally and a lot of us don't record each lapse on the board, we just pick ourselves up and get back on track ASAP. There's no need to record it--I know when I have goofed and often I want to skip the lecture. However, because all these goof ups don't get reported I sometimes feel like I am the only one who seems to have so much trouble staying on track.

Sounds to me like you are doing great and know yourself well. Have a good weekend.
