I introduced myself to this wonderful forum on Monday. I was uplifted, confident, and ready to commit (this time for good) to this WOE.

I went to work and we had a farewell luncheon for another nurse. I had every intention of LCing it and for no apparant reason, I walked into the room and ate a sandwich, bbq chips, all kinds of fruit..............and oh....let's not forget the piece of farewell cake.

Afterwards, I sat and thought "What the *^$* just happened there??

I didn't crave any of it......I wasn't DYING for that fruit or sugar. I almost felt the ketosis disappear with the 1/2 glass of pepsi I guzzled down. I was very disgusted with myself and sulked all evening.

This morning I got back up on the horse. It was yesterday....it's gone but damn, I'm still perplexed as to why it happened !!!!!

Confession by Jane

Okay we all do it . Force of old habits, That we are now trying to leave behind and change.Walking into a room of food and piging out. We must walk in room and find a nice person to just talk to not stand at food table and wolf down every living thing. All old habits are hard to breaK AT FIRST, But now you got great support people behind you and me , we can learn that new way together. Soooooo don;t be to hard on your self, Just start again .

Jane, interesting story! You're right, usually it is cravings that drive people off plan. I think Marie's idea that it's just force of habit may be part of the explanation.

Your attitude is good--just get right back on track. Also, make a plan for the next time you encounter the big office party. Imagine it fully--what foods will be there, who is there, what are the sounds and smells? Then imagine your own strategies for enjoying the party. What do you do when you're talking to someone eating a slice of cake and talking about how good it is? Where do you stand in relationship to the food table? The more accurately we can imagine such a scene, the more we'll already have the skills in hand to manage it next time it comes around. This WOL entails learning, coming to terms with the overabundance of carbs out there in the world. You're now on the way to that learning!

Thank you Marieaa and Razzle........

I appreciate your support and encouraging words and I'm going to need them because now they are having a "superbowl" party this weekend at work...... Fortunately, I am bringing the ground chuck to cook on the Foreman Grill. I also plan to make spinach dip bread bowl and substitute the bread for myself with fried pepper jack cheese (mmmmm so crunchy and good).

I just keep telling myself....I will not stray....I will not stray
