@Regina That’s awesome!

I’m thankful Lisa and I eat the same stuff, because I don’t know if I could handle that. :thinking:

But my son doesn’t eat keto, and he’s always buying cookies and candy and baking things. He usually offers some to us. He’s being so sweet, trying to share, but I have to turn him down, and it makes me feel sad. :cry:

I have the same problem - my husband and son have a rough idea of my diet, but they still politely offer me popcorn and such. Guess they figure I’ll wake up one morning and say: “I know, starches…” :rofl:


#23

I went into Tim Hortons and only got an iced coffee even though I was hungry. I’ve also been avoiding all the work chocolate.

Usually it doesn’t bother me but today I’m a little peckish


#24

I was in line to buy some powdered psyllium, and saw a rack of pastries w/ fruit centers. My mouth didn’t water but I sure felt like buying some. And then I thought, no. go home and make your keto mug bread, now that you have the ground psyllium.


#25

Great job, Ann!

Yeah, those pastries were always hard for me to pass up too, but I’m proud you did.

Way to show those peddlers of cheap, sweet carbage.


#26

Now that’s dedication!
I usually have to quarantine myself, when fasting. :laughing:

My family ate Little Caesars pizza with Krispy Kreme birthday cake Donuts and sherbet ice cream along with diet dr. Pepper and Diet Coke. I did not


#28

I don’t think I could resist!! Awesome job!


#29

@dlc96_darren

I’m lovin’ this thread. It makes me so happy!


#30

Holy crap! That is massive carbage! At this point in my keto WoE, I would have major GI issues necessitating frequent trips to the bathroom AND very high BS! :scream::scream::scream:

Sometimes it’s easy to resist when you know what the side effects will be.


#31

I had MY REVENGE on my family yesterday! Made some keto brownies- they smelt so good, the family walked into the kitchen ‘ooh brownies’, I told them they were keto ones, they looked so sad… my son did try one but didn’t like the flavour of almond flour in them, so wouldn’t eat any more, I get to eat them all, while they are disappointed for a change! :smile:


#32

Yep, found that out on holiday after a flapjack!


#33

Oh, bummer! :anguished:

The big help for me has been seeing the scale. I weigh once a week. First week I lost 6 lb. And yesterday I had lost 11. This will be day 14 in the morning.


(A Tabitha Ann Swanks) #35

The first two days I was in it my mother in law (lives with us) bought a bunch of sweets. They all went through them pretty fast and they are all to lazy to bake. Since I started I have made chocolate lava cake, chocolate chip cookies, and brownies. I will not let anyone but the two year old have any. :smiling_imp: They just look longingly and say "oh that looks good. And no i don’t feel bad because they have no issue with continually buying “the good stuff” and eating it next to me.

What a cool question! Donuts are so hard to pass up. Today I passed up my favorite, Mocha Chip Ice Cream! I had zoodles instead of pasta with my chicken. I passed on pretzels, cheese puffs, pop tarts, Coke and pizza. Man, it gets hard when the kids “help” shop for groceries.

Won-Tons
Tasty yes, I was able to eat a bowl by themselves b4

Family member made the soup
Really good btw
Just had the broth and some Veges ( and added some kerrygold :heart_eyes:)

Side note , rant.
“ oh. You can just peel the outside layer and eat the inside if you want “
Ummm…no!:rage:
Even that’s too much work for me😂
“ sure . pass the scalpel and tweezers. Let me start start to dissect these thinly wrapped ravioli wanna be’s”

I digress


#38

I’ll bet you felt better than they did, after it was all said and done. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:


#39

At least they have a basic understanding of the diet :joy:


#40

Fortunately my kids are old enough they do their own shopping, So, Lisa and I just get what we want. Whew…
