Re: Debby - Is this die off?

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I know what I'm talking about because I've cheated a

few times too, and I also have had really bad results.

So when I tell people don't cheat, it's not because

I'm Miss Perfect and Self Righteous.

It's because I've been there and done that and I know

that it can be hard to pull yourself out of that hole

once you dig it.

I find that when I cheat now it's much easier for me

to put myself back on track than it ever was before.

This is because I immediately try to figure out what

happened (most of the time I manage to stop myself

before it happens with a lot of different strategies)

and then I forgive myself, figure out a new strategy

for the situation and move on.

I don't give myself a lot of reasons for cheating like

I feel like it, this food looks good, etc. So far my

cheats have always been me being around extremely

yummy food and being very hungry.

Like one time I was up late cooking some breakfast for

my husband (bacon) and it looked good and I was having

the munchies and I caved.

I wanted to eat every piece of bacon in the house.

But as soon as my hunger abated, I stopped myself,

drank a bunch of water and got right back on track.

Now, I no longer cook bacon unless it's on a very full

stomach. I learned from that mistake and figured out

how to avoid it again.

I probably won't make that mistake again but I'll

probably make others. Each time I make a mistake I

use it as a learning experience.

So if you aren't already back on track, don't eat

another bite off plan. Stop, go cook some appropriate

food, plan some food for tomorrow, etc. Prepare your

strategies for this war on food.

Don't say " after this doughnut " or " after this

vacation " because the longer you wait, the harder it

is to detox from the sugar cravings, the more damage

and back tracking you do, and the more discouraged you

get.

Hope that helps..

Luv,

It is a lot easier to act ourselves into new thinking than to think ourselves

into a new action.

Oh I also wanted to say that from eating that bacon

one time my acne came back for a month. So not worth

it.

Hi Debby, yes your post helps a lot. I am feeling very badly again,

so I am trying to ride this out and hope things improve properly

soon.

Very good idea to make sure you do not cook tempting food on an empty

stomach!!! Also, with me? I am going to make sure that before I go

out somewhere in the car, or to someone's house, that I have eaten

well beforehand. It's amazing how tempting it is to drop into a

takeaway drivethru!!!! Or, at someone's house to think " i'm

starving, maybe I'll just eat this and then when I get home, I'll get

back on track'. As you said this yourself, it just extends the agony

and makes it even harder.

Thanks again
