a day off
Don't sweat it. Just return to the diet again.
I am a chronic cheater. On other diets, this was always a diet because I never stuck with them long enough.
But I find that on low carb, I don't gain weight back. It's a really stable weight loss. For December, I decided to "bag it" and go off the diet. I was starting to cheat here and there, so I decided to just stop for awhile. I had occasional wine, candy, toast, etc.
I only gained back one pound. Went back on LC 2 days ago and have lost 2 pounds already.
I agree that once you start cheating, it's hard to stop. The carbs and sugar are truly addictive.
But just pull yourself together and clean up your act tomorrow. Focus on the progress you've made, and how much more you want the next five pounds OFF versus the temporary experience of tasting whatever the tempting item is.
Good luck. You can do it!
