Halibut and chips with gravy. About 3 days worth of carbs.
Oh well. Start again tomorrow.
What was your last "fall off the wagon " moment?

Halibut chips gravy and cheese lol
Made me feel horrible for 3 days but it was sooooo good. A coupon came in the mail for my favorite fish and chip place this month and it went right in the recycle bin!

I was really hungover on Sunday and my hubby ordered the pizza for him and the kids. I was feeling too *kitten* to bother making myself something so I had 2 slices. I regretted it immediately as I felt like I ate a brick. I've been good since and since I was too sick all day to eat it didn't turn out to be as bad as it could have been.3

atm I seem to fall off once a week! I know! hopeless.... last Saturday my mother inlaw bought my favourite chocolate to our house, I said I would only eat one piece but it didn't quite work out that way! This weekend my girlfriends are taking me out for high tea (read = full of carbs) for my birthday .... Maybe after that I will do longer. I still lost 1 kilo for the week

I feel like yesterday was a fall off the wagon moment since I was starving all day and ate way more calories than I budget for; I kept carbs down though...tons of fat and protein.3

Do you ever give yourself a "cheat" day? I've only been doing LCHF for a little over two weeks, but I know sooner or later I'm going to cave and have some chips or chocolate or something. What do you do when you fall off the wagon?0

I had a donut ok two couple weekends ago. I don't dwell on it but keep on track. I don't allow myself cheats because as a diabetic eating carbs are actually very bad for my health, same as smoking cigarettes. If I let myself, I'll be getting a cheat daily lol1

For me, there are no cheat days. This is a way of life, not a diet. There are days that are slightly higher carb than others, but the things I have chosen not to eat, I simply don't eat (grains and sugar).
If you do fall back off the wagon (and most of us do!), simply get back up, dust yourself off, and get back on the wagon. It'll be okay 14 -
I just started on Sunday, and someone offered me donuts at a meeting today. Didn't help that I was hungry already...I ended up eating half of one but threw the rest away. It didn't even taste that good6

*ahem* the rest of the batch of fat bombs.

No cheat days for me either. This is my way of life now, not a diet. I cringe when I need to taste something not Keto friendly as I'm cooking these days. You know...making sure the rice is cooked properly. 9 times out of 10 I make my girls taste it for me because I don't even want those 5 grains of rice. I haven't craved anything from before this WOE...and let me tell you...I used to eat lots of carbs...unrefined and refined. It was bad. If I "cheat" I cheat with something Keto friendly and eat more calories than I'd like to eat not more carbs.
Now, having said all that - I love keeping sugar free candy on my desk and probably eat way too much of that. Some say that will increase their cravings for sugar but I've not had that issue so I keep my crutches. I also drink diet soda some days. There have been days I've had 3 in one day. It's not affecting my WOE but I KNOW first hand exactly what diet drinks can do to someone. But when I see Rowdy or the girls with a soda my brain sometimes says "you should have one too" so I drink it. I don't smoke, do drugs, drink alcohol much...so I guess it's not the worst vice ever. Maybe I should log those to really see how many I drink in a month....Maybe that would wake me up.3 -
I messed up big time. Had chicken fried chicken sandwich with the bun and onion rings. *sigh* Kicked me right out of ketosis. Back on the wagon today. No, it wasn't a cheat day thing. It was a waiting on hubby at the restaurant so long I got starving and had temporary insanity. It all started with "just a little taste" of the kids' appetizer, battered and fried pickles. The struggle is real!!!!

What matters is getting back to it! Let the past go and move forward with confidence! You can do this, @BABetter15

Lately I've been missing the quinoa and brown rice (mixed) that I make for DH. I also miss having Nature's Path GF cereal with almond milk which I haven't had for over a year. But my fall always occurs with Que Pasa Blue Organic Tortilla Chips coupled with BIG hunks of old cheese (Cheddar or Parmesan) and a shooter glass of Frank's Red Hot Chili & Lime. Last time was about two weeks ago now. With a couple really good glasses of Marechal Foch.

Ice cream. A few weeks ago. Lots and lots of ice cream...in the middle of the night...when no one was watching...
Can relate. I learned very early to never make more than one bomb. The old hide them in the freezer trick does not work for me. So sad.SuperCarLori wrote: »*ahem* the rest of the batch of fat bombs.2 -

At least I can now see that I'm not alone....4

This is only my 16th day on this WOE, but I'm hoping to make it a way of life. I have a lot of weight to lose, so I will be keeping it super strict for now, but once I lose the weight, I hope to relax a little bit more to be able to be more experimental and a little bit higher in my carbs (right now, I keep it below 30g and my net carbs below 20g). To include more vegetables and maybe add in some more lower sugar fruits once I lose the weight. To allow myself that low carb wrap when I have a craving, etc.1

I split some barley wine with my husband on Saturday. I don't remember the brewer, but it was lovely.
Beer is my love. One thing I remind myself is that just because I am waaaaay overcarbing on that, I don't need to use that as an excuse to eat other junk. I do make effort to limit my consumption to one every couple weeks or so.5 -
Last night. I went hog wild. Back on the wagon today. 0

No cheating for me, either. I do sometimes overdo calories, but I am on the mark with my macros and I basically stay sated most of the day and am not really hungry that much.
If I want chocolate, I've got cocoa powder, almond butter or tahini, several flavors of liquid stevia, butter, salt, and nuts, to make a variety of fat bombs (which, when I have a batch, might last me a week or more). Or I can nibble a square of 85-90% cacao bar.
I have been enjoying SO much flavor and variety that sometimes my tongue yells at me and swells up a little from it all. I have not craved sugar or wheat hardly at all (but I've been off most bread/pasta/rice since Dec. 2015 and I rarely ate or craved sweets - it was mostly fruit, back in my pre-LCHF days)2 -
A blizzard tonigjt
it was too sweet and I should have stopped eating it but I didn't. ..oh well at least it wasn't the start of a binge and I'm off to log it. 3 -
I am definitely wanting to do this woe for life as I feel better eating like this, but I tend to have binge attacks and eat everything in sight (had one of these yesterday) have decided that I know these are going to happen but from now on I will be logging them so I am accountable - I do hope one day that they will stop happening but until they do I will acknowledge them and move on3

A Snickers bar... and then another. I wasn't even hungry and it didn't even taste that good. 126 carbs, 94 sugar.
I suppose I was chasing the memory of how it made me feel, I had plenty of them as a child. I'm pleading temporary insanity due to acute boredom.

When I'm at the check out counter now I will look at all the chocolate bars (that I used to buy and eat on the way home, or board in my dresser so no one knew!) and laugh to myself! I didn't see them as fuel before LCHF, and I certainly don't now! I'm not sure how I viewed them before, but it was an addiction there is no doubt!
Like a drug addict, walking through a store with their favorite options on display! I'm so glad I can laugh and move on now!7 -

I'm in that same boat. There was never a shopping trip without a candy bar and a soda on the way home. Or sometimes...those cinnamon mini doughnuts - and not just a pack of 6 but a family size bag. Half would be gone before I drove the 10 miles home. No more of that. It was a social thing or "just something I did" or "I deserve a treat". Now it's "why would I put that in my body when I feel so good without it?"6 -

I do this. So I don't make them. They are too yummy.3 -
the smoked turkey leg at the fair. Granted very few carbs - but holy sodium and calories LOL2

I don't care what anyone says, there IS such a thing as food addiction. I was a straight up, no-joke, chocoholic. I ate it until it was all gone or I got sick. Every. Time. I craved it. I couldn't think about anything but the next time I was going to get it, and you'd better not ask for a bite of my fix even if there's a whole bag. I would hide in another room from everyone else and eat it and hide the wrappers.7 -
I think we can all agree that as much as we enjoy this woe slip ups will happen. We will all have days where we eat to many carbs and that's OK!! It's shaking it off and getting right back on track that's important. We are all human and let's face it carbs do taste good they just do bad things to our bodies...5

Literally falling off the wagon - it's the booze, every time. Two weeks ago was the last time. I get on periodic down turns and it stalls all the work. Good news is I'm in a dry spell for now. There's nothing in the house, so I'm feeling good.5
