Oh my goodness, I had cake .... it was a small piece and I didn't feel guilty .... it was a monumental move on my part. Just to put this in perspective ..... since October 23rd, 2013 I have never gone off plan. Even at christmas I did not eat any of my mother's incredible rum fruit cake. I did not partake in Halloween or valentine's or easter treats. I realize now that I could not have done it before today because I was not ready or prepared....... until now.
Here's the difference between the past and the present for me. Although I still consider myself to be a carb addict, I no longer let it control me. I know I have the discipline and resolve to prevent me from going full face into carb coma. There was a time when I did not have that control and I felt like a slave to cravings - that's in the past. My reason for indulging is also different. I did not have the slice of cake because of the " I must have a piece of it" feelings of the past. No, in fact I decided to have a small slice to celebrate the birth of my daughter 15 yrs ago. It was her favourite cake and it was her desire for us to enjoy it together. I simply adjusted my diet today accordingly (high carbs but low calories overall). Tomorrow and probably for the next 3 days it will be super low carb to get me back to ketosis and ..... I know I will probably gain some weight but I know how to deal with it now ... calm, patience and consistent clean eating for the next days. It's all good! My "eating intelligence" (sorry, just made that up), has grown so much over the past months, it has emancipated me from my addiction. It is the key to my continued success and maintenance. I feel sooooooooo good!
