Well, I didn't get back on track the next day. In fact, I was way, WAY off track for a week. And I felt awful, mentally and physically. The bottom line is that, whether I'm losing weight or not, I really do feel better when I'm following Keto. I was just going to wait until after Christmas to get back on the wagon. This is what I do when I'm offtrack. I reason with myself on why it's okay to remain off track. Yesterday, I came to my senses. I COULD wait until after Christmas and just feel miserable and bloated for another week and a half. And then, my birthday is 5 days after Christmas. And then there's New Years Eve. Then Jordan's birthday. And so on. There's always something, some reason to wait. I had some kind of internal intervention with myself and today I'm back on track. I wasn't hungry until lunch, so I didn't eat until then. I just finished a delicious salad with Romain lettuce, a little feta, a little bacon, and a little Ranch dressing. It was delicious. I'm also drinking my water again.
In all reality, I probably will eat "real" Christmas food over Christmas, but at least I'll have a grip on myself as I head into that holiday. Which, I don't think, has ever happened before. For as long as I can remember, I've entered into Christmas stuffed full of food and miserable, anxiously waiting and dreading December 26th because that's when I'd start being healthy again. Such a lame struggle. I hate it.
