So, I ruined my diet in 17 minutes flat.

[Beware the Beast Man]

Today was Employee Appreciation Day in the break room at work, and the theme was "A World of Thanks." The menu consisted of Ziti & Meatballs, Pork Stir Fry, Chicken Fajitas with beans & rice, broccoli salad and cookies. I somehow managed to go on a high-carb bender, and now I feel like garbage. x(

1. ...

:spank:

Now stop punishing yoursef. Tomorrow is another day. :)

[Magrittes Pipe]

5. What's that you say, Ms. Pie A La Mode?

You fucked the diet for BOTH of us. x(

[dolo amber]

7. Mmmmm....pie

:9

[Magrittes Pipe]

8. Lots of ginger, please!

No more mincemeat, though. x(

[flvegan]

2. Write it off as a "cheat day" and go for a second round of vittles.

You'll still feel like garbage, but it'll taste good!

[Mrs_Beastman]

3. broccoli

that's ok on the diet, you'll be fine!

[Beware the Beast Man]

4. I didn't eat the broccoli.

:blush:

[Mrs_Beastman]

6. ha

We feel your pain, me and the other dieter's at my job.(yes, they are reading the thread with me)

[Susang]

12. Oh, he is so busted

I bet he doesn't do that again. :hi:

[redqueen]

9. Whaddaya mean you feel like garbage?

Do you feel sick from overeating? Or just guilty?

If it's guilt, fuck that shit. You took a break from your diet.. BFD... just remember to stick to it when it's not a special occasion.

To be honest I don't even think diets are a good idea... just portion control, healthy choices and EXERCISE!

Feel better, Beast Man.

:pals:

[Beware the Beast Man]

11. Not guilty. Physically sick.

I OD'd.

[redqueen]

13. Aww...

The only food that makes me sick... well not a food, it's a drink... is mocha... I love it so, but I can't drink it on an empty stomach.

Can you have a nap at work? That might help. :)

[tigereye]

20. yinz

need a nap room. My husband has one at work... don't think anyone uses it though. I used to "meditate" occasionally in my office.

[Susang]

10. So you left the South Beach for awhile

You'll be back. Not the end of the world. Don't beat yourself up. Just get back on that horse! :P

[wtmusic]

14. That long, huh

Put me in front of a box of donut holes and we're talking seconds.

[Beware the Beast Man]

15. Thankfully, they were not around.

I have been guilty of donuticide in the past.

[Shell Beau]

16. One little flub.

It is all right. You can make up for it tomorrow!!:evilgrin:

[supernova]

17. Hey, I've had an off month

For the past three weeks, I've raided the candy machine of M&Ms!!!

That's more carbs than I've eaten since going low carb three years ago. :grr: :grr: x(

ARGH!

[Beware the Beast Man]

18. The day low-carb Skittles hit the market,

I will bow down and give thanks & praise. :D

[supernova]

19. Hmmmm.. Skittles with Splenda

:think:

Hey, you never know. I think today I will get some sugar-free ice cream.

[tigereye]

21. well buy an exercise bike

that's on the husband's new agenda. And lots of rice cakes!

[Beware the Beast Man]

22. Can't have rice cakes- no carbs for 2 weeks.

I am, however, allowed 3-egg omelets for breakfast.

[tigereye]

23. see

I think that no carb thing is bullshit. JMO.

[supernova]

25. Not if you are insulin resistant

And diabetics follow the same principles as in low carb.

[tigereye]

27. I meant as a the latest fad diet ( not a necessary diet for illness)

people need complex carbohydrates, from what I have read. It just seems unhealthy to me.

[Beware the Beast Man]

26. I am allowed some carbs.

Fruit, grains, and potatoes are out for the first two weeks. Eventually I am allowed to re-introduce "good" carbs (fruit & whole grains) back into my diet. I'm pretty much theough with refined sugars and enriched grains.

I was mighty skeptical at first, but in the last 4 days I've noticed a big difference not only in my weight, but in my overall feeling.

[sniffa]

24. eh, screw dieting

i break mine every few hours.

there's no carbs in pizza right?
