Lessons from weekend

[RaeB]

I had a planned weekend off, so no guilt because I was in control (back on the wagon today).

Contrary to my obviously low expectations of myself, I didn't pig out. I had carbs with lunch on Saturday because I knew I'd be drinking, but I only managed to eat a third of the amount I'd normally eat (and I was uncomfortable with that amount).

Black tie do on Saturday evening, I left the carbs and couldn't finish any of the courses, in fact probably ate a third again of each one. In fact that repeated for brekkie and for lunch I had a light bite salad (that's a first for me!).

Pleased to be back on plan, but learnt a lot about listening to my body and not letting my eyes decide how much I need to eat. It does give me more confidence to move onto the maintenance step in a few weeks time.

So I'm relieved to be honest, I feel much more in control and I do believe that I can cope in the future.

Thanks ladies, the sooner I get back into ketosis the better. Luckily I'm doing something food free and distracting for the next couple of days, so the positive mental attitude will continue. Expect to see me on cupcake's emergency help thread when I hit the tough spot getting back into it!
