new to this forum and the dukan diet!, I am not sure if I screwed up my attack phas!

[lbkali2710]

hello im about 19 years old and have been overweight most of my life, My mom bought me the book and I thought it completely made sense and so started on it as soon as I finished the attack phase chapter.
I have been on attack phase for about 4 days and everything is going on amazingl so im doing the attack phase for 6 days.
anyway today I was making pizza for my niece, a really small pizza, and she started screaming saying it was hot/spicey or something(I thought I mixed up the pizza boxes), it worried me so much because she is 4 years old and cries like theres no tomorrow so I thought she might have burned her tongue . so i took a slice, its about the size of my thumb and tasted it.
I feel horrible ! i feel like i ruined my hard work! so after a few hours i felt so horrible i thought of quiting the diet and ate anotherthumb sized slice out of despair (i know! a big nono.)
I dont know if the situation is that horrible or not, and i am not sure if i should continue for 6 days, or maybe add one more attack day.
or just quit the diet for a few days and go back on attack again?!! help!
anyway i tried weighing myself but i just got my period AND my mom bought a new scale (the old one showed i was actually thinner than i was ) so i have no idea how much i have lost since being on attack!
WHAT SHOULD I DO?

just continue as you were

continue as you were, drink plenty of water, forget about it - onwards and downwards xx

Ditto above - don't let this one teeny weeny little slip spoil 4 days of great work. Most of us have an all or nothing personality and you sound a bit like that too - it's nice to recognise your tendency to go full blast at things cos it also means that we quit easily too - with that in the back of your mind you can be aware of it and fight it............ I KNOW that one bad day will not undo my work in the long run but giving up for a couple of days will lead to a couple of weeks and so on so on!!!! Well done on a great start, forget the pizza and move on and up (or down with regard to the scales!)...Good luck

Thanks for replying! I think I probably over reacted but dr.dukans words are stuck in my head "it's an all or nothing method" so I just felt like I blew it.
well then, wish me luck

Just carry on like the girls have said, this is the start of your journey.... keep your chin up x and keep posting x

I recommend the 'keep calm and carry on' philosophy. Works for me anyway

Agree with the others, just carry on as if it never happened. The exact same thing happened to me on day 3 of attack, my daughter was refusing to taste a pizza bread that I had made, I always tell them I won't give them something they won't like, so to prove my point, without thinking I took a bite! I ate it saying 'now, if it wasn't nice would I be eating it'. Didn't even cop what I had done till after I swallowed and went for my second bite which I obviously didn't take.

Anyway, I put it behind me and carried on as normal.

Good luck with it
