Hey all - I'm on day 16 of induction (going for three weeks total) and I totally blew it at a large family gathering/birthday party. Birthday cake, pasta salad... I held out as long as I could, and then lost it. What do I do now? The book isn't all that clear on what you should do when you blow it. Do I need to start over with 2 more full weeks of induction, or should I just procede as if nothing happened? Thanks for any help!

If I were you I would just pick up where you left off! I think you'll be fine!

Hi....Think of this a JOURNEY.....if you were on the road and made a
wrong turn and got lost....you wouldn't turn around and go home !!!

Just get back on the road to your goal and and if you SWERVE again, just get yourself back on track.

YOU CAN DO THIS !!!!!

I've found that when I've STRAYED off the beaten path, it can slow me down for a couple of days, and then I'm back to losing again. Two weeks ago, I ate a whole bag of Bugles....DOn't know why....I wasn't even hungry !!! It just sorta happened !! Dinner that night was normal and so was everything else after that. I've lost about 4 lbs since then.

See....NO BIG DEAL !!

Have a great day !!

jmm, I did the same thing last week.

Caved on Day 5 of Induction. Was my wedding anniversary and DH talked me into have a celebatory drink with him at my favorite restaurant and after the drink, well I figured I just fell off the wagon so what's a serving of mashed potatoes gonna harm? then came the berry basket then a few more drinks.

I felt devastated on the drive home. Took 3 days for me to decide to give it another try. So here I am, day 3 and holding steady....

Good Luck to you and if you are ever in doubt the people here on this board are absolutely FABULOUS cheerleaders!
