Default Woe is me!!!!!!!!

I am sooooooooo upset with myself. I have done so well for the last 4 months, had one day, actually 2, where I cheated.
Then last night the carb demon got ahold of me but good! Every single time I have lost weight, about 4 months or so into it that same demon creeps up and it's like I cant shake it! It is like I am out of control, the whole time I am stuffing myself I am saying, dont do it, dont do it!
I got up during the night and ate 1/2 box of thin mint girl scout cookies! Then I told myself this morning, "ok, no more!"
I ate right all day, drank my water, then about 4 o'clock I ate the other half of the box!!!
Right now I feel sick physically and emotionally, and I feel so bloated. It's my own fault, I have to be strong and make up my mind NOT to do it again.
Some people will say "stop whining about it, either be responsible for yourself and stop doing that, or suffer the results."
I agree, but it's like a person with alcohol addiction, I have to take one day at a time, and pray for strength.
When you have a binge like this, how long does it take to get back into Ketosis I wonder?

I went off plan over the past weekend gained back some weight went out of Ketosis. Got a grip, got back on track, and it took exactly 3 days of sticking strictly to induction to get back into ketosis. That was for me but I think this may be one of those YMMV things. I know how you feel I wish you the best on your jouney. Hang in there and know you are not alone. Sincerely~MargoP

P.S. Your confession has been heard and you are forgiven

Thanks Margo, it is so nice to know there are others out there who struggle too and understand what you're going thru.
Hey, I have an Aunt and Uncle who live in La. They used to live in Houma, but now live in Lafayette.
Am back on track this morning and have gotten RID of all the yucky stuff in my house.

Yea I never got a chance to visit him when he lived up there. He lived on a lake. You probably know where that is.
