had dominoes bread sticks!!!

hi all i've been on Atkins since 9/1/03 and have had no problem sticking to it until last night.

I felt really lousy last night- very nauseas and sick to my stomach- the idea of eating a salad or a piece of meat made me feel worse and since i didn't have the energy to cook for my family - i ordered them dominoes.

well after eating half an order of breadsticks - i felt like a new woman!!!!!!!! i am back on atkins this morning and feel revitalized.

for those of you who have been on atkins for a while- how do you handle the occasional slippage????

and could the nasuae have been caused by having an atkins breakfast bar???? i had my first bar yesterday afternoon and felt sick about and hr later????

You handle slippage by getting back on your program. Slippage will happen all thru life....vacations/birthday/special family holiday meals. The trick is to enjoy them when the come up, you just can't fall back into 'holiday' eating as a way of life! I had a 4lb gain after a long weekend at Disneyland and just went back to induction levels...it didn't even take a full week to lose it all. I think if you take IMMEDIATE action after a slip those extra pounds don't have a chance to "set"....at least that's what it seems like.

Can't answer about the bars, I don't use them (never could do meal substitue bars or drinks.....I want 'real' food). I have tried some of the chocolate 'candy bar' substitutes and found I can't eat a whole one at one time without some digestive ramifications...LOL. So when I really want a taste of chocolate, usually about 1/4 of a bar, melting slowly in my mouth, does the trick....really like Pure De-Lite...get them at Walmart.

Dont worry about it! That is the one sign that I have, that makes me realize that I am on this for life. When I cheat, I feel soooooooo guilty about what I am eating, but before Atkins that was "normal" for me. So, I KNOW that I am eating MUCH better everyday, and if I slip I will be ok! I just start induction again, and try not to beat my self up about it. You can do this!
