I'm the same today, I keep forgetting to look at the less than 1 pound reading. I'll watch for that tomorrow morning......

You're doing great Tara!

I was 162.6. This morning

Then somebody very important that gives my company a lot of business want to take me and six girls out to lunch I was very nervous about going because I really wanted to stay on plan but I didn’t want to tell them I was on a diet because they’re most of them are all heavy to

I was just about to tell them no croutons on my Caesar salad when the person in charge was ordering appetizers and then I didn’t mention the no crouton thing

I really wasn’t that bad at lunch but the problem is knowing I went off I ended up going off plan for dinner

I can’t really explain it what happened was I picked my daughter up from camp and she hurt my feelings but then she apologized but she was doing a lot of crying in the meantime then she lost a tooth and was crying because of that so it was just a very stressful hour from 5:30 PM till 6:30 PM and by the time we were ready for dinner I was just like whatever I’ll eat whatever

I I am realizing I definitely am a food addict and I think the reason I have been look having it because I can’t handle certain foods even in small quantities

Tara I really appreciate you looking out for me I wish I read that before everything happened today all in all it was a good day and I have to look at the positives of the day instead of the negatives

Yup, scale at MIL's was exaggerating.

Entropy, as far as I'm concerned, you are probably still at that bump. Forget yesterday. As far as I can tell, reading what you reported, you committed no nasty sins that would send you to hell in a hand-basket. Seriously. Really. I cannot see major wrongness. If you ate some (lots of) carbs, you exaggerated the bump by adding water all over your body. So the thing to do is chug down 2-3 litres of water a day, get back on plan, walk/exercise a lot to speed up the return to ketosis, and be with us.

Thank you Tara!

Way to go Tara!
I don't know WHY I am losing weight, I binged last night.
I will just keep going because what else is there to do?
I don't even ENJOY binging anymore. It is just the memory of what it USED to do for me plus if I eat just a LITTLE bit of wheat or other bad foods it definitely sets me off.

Thanks Emy! Is your binging because of evening anxiety? Like weird restlessness that happens in the evening for no good reason? this happens to me a lot.

163.8 today so soon I will be where I was for my start of this challenge .

Does anyone here ever hear of magic spoon keto cereal? It looks too good to be true ?

Why wait I am re-entering the challenge now. LOL

Yes, it is a lot like that. And sometimes I just can't seem to sleep. I'm sure if I just stop binging for a few days and keep the carbs low enough the urge will stop.

Is it just me or did Tara win this challenge and we were all too busy posting to realize this?

LOL

Congrats Tara!!!

Hi y'all. Thanks. Yeah I forgot to start the new thread (which I just now took care of).

Emy, everybody is different. But for me, it's the anxiety that is causing the urges. Not the urges that create the anxiety. You aren't crazy darling. You obviously want to lose weight and are quite good at it from what I've seen. So it's not some messed up behaviour on your part that is the cause of this situation. It's very likely the anxiety, which can exist for no ****ing good reason (immune system imbalance is suspected as the cause, but nobody really knows for sure.). You can have an entirely peaceful, worry-free existence, and suffer from that weird evening anxiety (and it's so screwed up!!!... always playing tricks with your mind, making you feel a weird combo of guilty and paranoid (my experience)).

Explore ways to treat the anxiety. I can't stress this enough... finding a crutch for this BS anxiety stuff takes a load of guilt and worry and trappedness off the shoulders.

Sorry if I'm over-enthusiastic about this, but finding a way to handle my anxiety did great things for me, and if I can convince somebody else going through the same hell to experiment ways of dealing with it, I will have done something good today.
