Guest guest Posted September 6, 2001 Report Share Posted September 6, 2001 if you gained... what? I hope you gained! Some people will still lose when they cheat and then they start cheating more because they received the positive reinforcement. But eventually the losing will stop when you cheat and it gets harder and harder to stick to plan. Don't be mad at yourself. You are human. The important thing is what you do next. Don't eat more carby stuff because you 'already ruined the day'. Right now start back eating low carb. Get right back on induction with the next thing that crosses your lips. Keep this an isolated incident instead of turning it into a binge. YOU CAN DO THIS!!! The next important thing is to try and figure out just why you cheated and to get a strategy in place for the next time you are feeling that way. Learn from your mistakes and they have value :-) Kirstie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2001 Report Share Posted September 6, 2001 hehehhee... Actually... I was talking about me! I would far rather see a gain after a cheat than not - it's a good deterrent! Kirstie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2001 Report Share Posted September 6, 2001 Kirstie, that's SOOOOOO accurate! Truth be told, the best thing the scale does is punish me for a cheat. I'm not kidding, a few minor off-plan cheats and I will gain 3-5 pounds over night... and it takes me about a week to undo the damage (even with chugging extra water and increasing my exercise). But guess what? That's a good thing because if I did NOT gain from a cheat, I'd do it more often and that's NOT a good thing to do. So, as much as I hate to admit it, I'm glad the scale reflects the damage. -Marlena 214.5/161.8/150 > >Reply-To: Atkins_Support_List >To: <Atkins_Support_List > >Subject: Re: I cheated! help >Date: Thu, 6 Sep 2001 17:04:08 -0300 > >hehehhee... > >Actually...
