I can’t believe that I’m already almost 2 months into this thing! I’m up to 23 pounds of weight loss! This is the first “diet” that I’ve actually lost belly fat! But, with that also went my boobs. Eh, sacrifice I’m willing to take. I can always get a boob job when I’m skinny :stuck_out_tongue: I’m not gonna lie, the last few weeks have been rough and I’ve cheated more than I care to admit. And every single time I feel like absolute crap afterwards. I think I’ll always struggle with my relationship with food. However, a cheat day is just that. A day. Moving forward I do better, because I can’t get that time back, so why sweat it too much?

Football season has started and I’m already tired of 12 hours of football on Sundays and then the entire evenings on Monday and Thursday. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy watching the Bengals on Sunday afternoon, but I can’t fully encompass the entire league like my boyfriend needs to. So I decided that I needed to find something to distract myself. I’m now a Perfectly Posh independent consultant and honestly that has helped me to get back on my keto track than anything. I’m putting more energy into it and, hello! I’d like to look hot while selling pampering products, right?!

I digress. I obviously just really needs some friends or some accountability partners or something. But it’s okay, my dog is a really good listener.

Hope all is well!

You’re right @raynebow. You can survive a day, and keep going. Over time those “cheat days” will get fewer and fewer.

I’m glad you’re back on track, and it was great to hear from you! :+1:

I think we all have days where we give in to temptation or plan a day to eat off plan foods. Best thing to do is exactly what you do…get back to it. Congrats on your success so far and best wishes to your continued success :smile:

Exactly! It’s crazy to think how much issues with food early on continue to be a problem into adulthood. But I will keep on ketoing on! Thank you so much for your encouragement and for following my journey! :slight_smile:

Heck yes! Who doesn’t walk by someone eating a slice of pizza and damn near threaten to lick it? :stuck_out_tongue: Thank you so much, I really appreciate the encouragement!

People don’t often admit that…

It might help to have some keto “cheat” foods handy for when the urge strikes. Try heating up some unsweetened chocolate in the microwave, and mix in some artificial sweetener and some heavy cream. Totally keto instant fudge! Keep a supply of a cheese that you like, and cut off a chunk to nibble on. Butter the bits as you eat them, for extra yumminess. A bit of Greek yoghurt and heavy cream (you may need to add a bit of sweetener, at first) is another satisfying treat, as is blueberries in heavy cream. And don’t get me started on roasted, salted almonds!

You might also try increasing your food at meals a bit, if you are getting the urge to snack, as that will help with the urges. But if you have keto snacks handy, a binge is a lot less like a binge and more like healthy eating.
