Well, I cheated!

(John) #1

So, we went on a mini vacation. After 7 weeks on keto and losing 18 lbs. I decided a trip to Coldstone with the kids would afford me the opportunity to reward myself with the biggest dish of ice cream they offered. Holy crap, what a mistake! Headache, tense neck and an overall general feeling like I was hit by a freight train! Lesson learned, questions answered! I wouldn’t advise if anyone is “asking for a friend”. :exploding_head::flushed::nauseated_face:

I guess that one will stick in your memory bank for some time.:train2:

Without a doubt!

#4

Have we learned a lesson? Or are you the type to continuously “live for recovery”? Lol

(John) #5

I felt guilty after eating the ice cream. Now I’m just hoping this is like a bad hangover and will be gone in a couple days. I’m pretty stubborn but I’ve learned!

#6

Cool.

It doesn’t seem like it now but the experience will be worth it down the road. Imagine all the things you can pass by now with no temptation. Before you had this experience you (maybe?) might have found it harder to not cheat, but now you’ll remember how awful it made you feel. KCKO!

Hey,… I like that! Awesome thought.

Garlic bread was my weaknesses and I’m actually a bit surprised (and proud) of myself at my ability to resist the temptation. Ice cream of all things snuck up and bit me in the proud ass!

#10

OMG… Now that you mention that, I’m really surprised it hasn’t taken me down yet. The taste, the aroma, the-the… everything about it. Did I hear you whisper, cheese on top?!

(John) #11

Anyone have a good garlic bread recipe that’s keto friendly??? Ha ha.

#12

Hey, that’s a new post just for that alone. I would love to see the feedback for that recipe.

I cheated today as well. My stomach was unhappy and I was craving chicken soup so I opened a Top Ramen, threw away two thirds of the noodles and dropped in three eggs for bulk.

But darn, it was good. I’m such a connoisseur of fine cuisine. I adore top ramen.

Are you still in college? :rofl::rofl::rofl: I can relate. Pasta was my second weakness!

#15

Fathead pizza with garlic butter and cheese?

(John) #16

Sounds pretty damn good to me!

(Linda) #17

Heck, no. But I did enjoy my ramen so much, I may throw all of the noodles away and add eggs to the flavor packets by themselves so I can have it more often. Ummmm - Ramen! Mix the eggs up like you’re making egg flower soup, and you can almost pretend you’re eating noodles.

I can so relate! I planned and devoured 2 slices of my birthday cake which was not keto in the least. The first few bites were felt as a direct hit in my brain as I imagine a shot of tequila would. This departure was followed by 4 of my own cookies (I am a Cookie decorator on an extended leave of absence) nightly for 4 more nights. While I kept on track otherwise, this sugar/flour mini bender sent me back to overeating keto food just to reboot. It took 4 more days to straighten out. Since then, there are no temptations out there. It just isn’t worth it. Fat burning feels so much better.

I don’t think I appreciated the keto style it enough so it was a learning experience and I’m much more appreciative now! :wink:

WoW!!

Lot going on here girl!
Please don’t do that to yourself again in the near future. I can feel the anxiety with your description.
Oh,… what a tangled web we weave!
