Mamato, You can do this. It is hard initially, but once you are in ketosis, the cravings become MUCH less and you have more energy. Its those first few days that are a killer. Hang in there!!

Ok, why...why....why....did I put the bad carbs in my mouth. For almost a month I have been losing like crazy, staying well in ketosis and not craving sweets at all!! Then it happened...I splurged. I ate a hot fudge Sunday....
The sugar cravings are back, and I am no longer in ketosis. I can't lose my momentum!! HELP!!!!!

If I fell off the wagon and that is a big if, could I be in ketosis by monday  . Ok, Ok the carb wagon has run over me, not only am I off the wagon it came back in reverse and dun run me over. Crap  why is it so dam hard. When I am in control I feel so powerful and then one little taste of a carb laced food and I am like a drugged fool. Back to the grind tomorow.I will pee on a stick on monday and see what happens. Good luck to us all.

haha...I know what you mean, its nice to know that we are all human and we make mistakes...but we CAN do this...and it better if we are all doing it together! Last night we went to see a movie (WallE) and we almost always go to this italian restaurant across the street. I went online, looked at the menu for the lowest carb item and when I got there I knew exactly what I wanted and ordered it...didn't tempt myself by looking at the rest of the menu. I used the dipping the fork in the dressing method of eating my salad. It really did work! I got a taste of dressing in every bite and I only used 1/3 of the little cup. Usually I would drown my whole salad with all of it. My meal was chicken breast with montery jack cheese with bacon, brocoli, & pecans on it. It was a little too "bacony" (is that word?) The bacon was shredded like a pizza topping and covered the whole top of the chicken. It was still pretty good though. I felt happy that I didn't get a mountain of pasta. My ketosis was in the trace section this morning. Hopefully I can boost it in the next 2 days!

I just wrote "Ketosis Monday" on my hand. Now every time I reach for something CARB"ed", I will think of all of you and my promise!
Tough spot for me this weekend: My mother-in-law passed away after a 10 year battle with Alzheimers and a stroke. bitter-sweet passing. I have the family dinners, wake, and funeral food to face.
What is your challenge this weekend. Picnics? Social events? Being along? Let's identify the upcoming challenges and plan for them.
OK, who is on the wagon...
