    What the hell is "carb free"?

    It's when they don't charge you for 'em !

    I thought it was when you let them out of their cages so they could roam, like nature intended.

    Hahaha This made my day!! I suggest punishing your daughter for daring to wave her unfinished pancakes under you clearly undisciplined nose. Keep it up! :)

    Life would be so boring if we could do everything "perfectly"...

    ...and as I once read (and agree with), to do everything perfectly, every time one attempted to do so, would take all the fun out of trying (just imagine how incredibly 'lifeless' life would be if there wasn't ever a challenge, and we weren't ever presented with moments and circumstances in which we needed to 'get back up', and move forward)...



    After reading a thread here earlier tonight, and seeing mention of something I'd not heard of before, I did a search... and ended up on someone's blog... and then on a page where they'd posted several quotes...


    When I read your post, I thought of two of the quotes --


    If you get up one more time than you fall you will make it through.
    ~ Chinese Proverb


    Just don't give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there is love and inspiration, I don't think you can go wrong.
    ~ Ella Fitzgerald



    So... in addition to the many folks here who are conveying encouragement, you have ancient Chinese proverb sages, and Ella -freakin'- Fitzgerald speaking their minds, as well... and we're gonna 'hug it out' now (c'mon everyone -- group hug time)... ;)



    Oh, and I meant to add... there's a reason many avail themselves of a 'cheat day' (or moment!), so to speak... we are all human, after all... ;)

    I don't want to be mean or insensitive, but I'm not certain if the OP was serious or not.

    If you were serious, everything will be okay. I admire your dedication to your cause, but one simple bite will not undo all of those months and months of hard work. You can't deny yourself forever; allow yourself to be human. Also, if you are really concentrating on a no-carb healthy lifestyle, try to bring your daughter on board too! It may make things easier.

    If you weren't being serious, that was seriously funny! You pulled that off perfectly!

    I wanted to be sure to err on the side of caution, just in case...


    ...but if they weren't serious, then I'd be happy to offer a special homemade coupon for an 'all you can eat' day at an IHOP location of their choosing... ;)

    Come on now ! Stop beating your self up. And why are you feeding your daughter pancakes covered in sugar and fat ? Maybe, if you give her healthier food it will help you in the long run too. You have lost 33 lbs. That is tremendous. Keep going we all give in totemptation, this is life


    Ummmmm.....what is totemptation?

    Its not a what, its a who. She is calling you "totemptation" and exhorting you to quit just like the rest of us.

    NO! Totemptation is when the pancakes are stacked high like a totem pole and that makes them even MORE tempting. Duh!

    "I lost 33 lbs! yay!!!!!"

    I am a complete and total failure. I have given into temptation. I ate a bite off of my daughter’s pancakes. She was done and i just could not resist. I just don't have what it takes to do this. How can i possibly expect to lose weight when i don't have the strength to say no to a carb covered in sugar and fat? I will never be able to do anything right. Carbs for crying out loud, flipping carbs, i know better. I have been carb free for 3 months and now this. I am a complete and total failure. I shall go now and suffer the wrath of destruction that must become of someone like me.

    Those are "free range carbs."

    A lot of people will feel the same way as you when they give in to temptation. Just know that you are not alone and a mouth full of pancakes is nothing to sweat over =) Keep Calm and Carry On!

    Seems like kind of a valueless "joke"...People offer support, and you call them gullible...for responding to your (admittedly ridiculaous sounding) cry for help...I don't see what's funny about it, actually.

    Hey look! Another fake thread (not in Chit-Chat) that causes people who don't get the joke to offer genuine support. Watching others be duped into being helpful and express sincerity is so hilarious.

    I really feel like this is probably a joke.... but....

    If you feel so deprived of carbs that you are cheating, then stop doing the keto diet... seriously... it's not the end all be all of weight loss.

    And so what will giving up do for you? Especially giving up because you had a bit of your daughter's pancakes? Really? That will accomplish exactly what?

    Mistakes happen. That is LIFE. Weight loss happens because of what you do over weeks and months and years, not because you did or didn't take one bite off your daughter's pancakes!

    You are being ridiculous and overly dramatic over something that is so completely, absolutely insignificant in the long run!

    Get up, dust yourself off, track it and MOVE ON.

    Giving up is not an option. Failure is not an option. You have done so well up to this point. Enjoy the pancake. Get out and get a little more exercise to make up for it. Get back on you plan. You are certainly not a failure.

    Most of us, if not all of us, have been there in your shoes. Think about your goals and how awesome it will be to meet those goals. If you start now you'll start seeing results one day earlier than if you wait until tomorrow. Keep it up!!

    Hey look! Another fake thread (not in Chit-Chat) that causes people who don't get the joke to look stupid and be mocked by the "sarcasm-savvy" members of the forum.

    Fixed it for you.

    You are NOT A FAILURE, don't be so hard on yourself. You can have a pancake, it's not the end of the world. You just have to remember eat them in moderation.

    Yeah, I didn't read the whole thing and just saw someone wanting to give up.
