hi all...

im so depressed . i came back from a vacation where i totally binged on carbs and sugar. i managed to gain 7 pounds in 5 days... it took me almost three years to get down to where i was and now this....im determined to get back on, have people been sucessful after a stumble?....i want to crawl under a rock and stay there....

I went on a binge once - seems a long time ago now. FIVE bars of Kit-Kat Chocolate in a couple of hours. I know how you feel

I went on a fat fast the very next day - amazingly I didn't even put on despite the 300g extra carbs. Haven't done it again though - perhaps it was a good thing. Hated the emotional swings for the next week or so but had to determinedly hang on in there.

Crawl under a rock ... if that's how you feel ... just make sure you don't take any carbs to keep you company! if you really want to see the mirror reflecting a healthier, fitter (and slightly slimmer) you.

We all fall from grace some time so go easy on yourself.

Take care.

Sunnie, we have all binged and the hardest part is to put it behind you and go on. Today is a brand new day so start over, don't do induction but keep around 20 carbs. LCing is a journy and we need to remember the lessons on the way.
Forgive yourself, We do.

thanks so much for the encouragement....im feeling better today...
and if anything determined to get back on track....after that experience i hope i dont find myself there again!....thanks to you both for reminding me to be be a bit gracious to myself....my new mantra- low carbing is a way of life!....cheers and God bless.

That's what we are all here for isn't it?

Give each other a helping hand when you or I am down.

God Bless - and take care.

Together we can make the journey
