Where do I start? I don’t know any of you, but hopefully you will “get this”.
I have done very nicely following the Ketogenic Protolocol for 8 months…until today.
Some Life Stresses have done me in…I won’t bore anyone with details. I just need to confess that I ate an ENTIRE Lindt Salted Dark Chocolate Bar in one sitting today. The thing had been in the cupboard forever! It was like something snapped in me and a radar zeroed in on it.
After I finished it, I had heart palpitations, nausea, a headache and I cried. I have convinced myself I dont want to experience those feelings again…how long will that last? I don’t know. With an addiction, every minute matters. I do know I CAN NOT have things like that in my vicinity…just like an alcoholic shouldn’t have alcohol around.
I have prayed, and talked with my Husband about it… and forgiven myself…and plan to forge ahead once again. P:S: There is no more chocolate in the cupboard!!
Confession Is Good For the Soul
For me it’s usually not about the food but the thing that’s making me want the food in the first place. Not the food but the mood. Sorry you had a bad one. Tomorrow is a new day!
Just remember how sick you felt after you ate it, Rebecca, and that will hopefully help for you to not do it again. I agree that it is better just not to have the temptations around though. I live with 4 other people that are not doing Keto at all, so it is always here, all the Carbage. It bugged me at the beginning but it doesn’t now.
Don’t be so hard on yourself though; these things happen. It could have been way worse, you could have eaten tons more carbs and be feeling even worse. At least you stopped at just that one chocolate bar and are now back on track!!
I ate a Lindt chocolate ball on Christmas day -a milk chocolate one, as my Christmas cheat and I didn’t have much guilt (I planned to have it, it was not an impulse, and I still had a tad of guilt) but not tons and I enjoyed it and I didn’t have any reaction, but I am sure if I had more then the one I would have had a bad reaction.
Sometimes we go off plan a bit, but you are back on right after, so relax and don’t worry about it. Unless it becomes a habit, it is not a big deal when these little things happen once a while =).
So sorry
Yes this.
So good and true to do so
" if it’s in the pantry someone will eventually eat it "
So they say
There was a beautiful tin of Christmas candy and mints still in our pantry
Ummm…Christmas 2018!!
Tossed it out about a month ago
Crazy
Had to stare at that every week. Just saving it for , I guess I have no freaking idea 
Tomorrow is another day
Good luck!
My name is Sandra and I have a confession - I’ve been attackingmy husband’s peanut drawer, and I mean of “stuffing my feelings” amounts, for the past week and I need to stop! I felt bad with every peanut I ate… 
I will smack them out of my grubby little hands today, enough is enough!
