It's very clear the initial question on this post was asked in jest and a cheat wasn't imminent. Some folks were clearly too blunt with their responses. Tonality gets lost in the cyber world and it's just important to re-read posts before hitting "Submit Reply".

I'll be the first to admit I was wrong in castrating someone who clearly did cheat. I was also in p1 and sensitive to cheats when I was 100%. If I could redo my response to that person I would.

Constructive criticism can help some people respond better to others.

Just sayin'.

:lol: Sometimes it just feels good to commiserate!! I get what you were saying. Congrats on the 19 lbs in two weeks, that's incredible!

it would be nice if IP made liquor lol

+1

I hear you NewEnglander. :)

And yes, you're right about tonality.

For example ... I guess I just don't get the OP's humor. It's not the first time they've written about wanting to cheat early in on the plan so ...

It is tough but stick to it. You are worth it. Me I want a double serving of my homemade lasagna with meat and sausage and all the cheese and sauce! Man oh Man. But I don't want to look like Garfield anymore. Keep working it.

I am not a drinker so I can't say I understand, but man, I miss peanut butter! Bars and peanut puffs DO NOT HELP!!! Good luck gordito..congrats on all that weight that is lost and gone forever! Or shall I say, gone forever if we keep making the right decisions. LOL...

STOP IT, STOP IT!!!

You're making my mouth drool! :dizzy:

:D

Oh dear....I hope I was not the one that was harsh on anyone! I merely shared my thoughts on how I do know about that desire to cheat. That desire is with me constantly and I know EXACTLY what he was talking about.

A guy posted the original post and men can brush crap off and don't care like us women so I wouldn't worry!!! I think all us chicks are chiming in and making a bigger deal of this!!! Typical right! Love us women!!! LOL :)

I want abita amber!
 

I am 26 and I live in New Orleans. EVERYTHING revolves around alcohol. Since I started the diet I was able to say no over and over and over again until one night I cracked. I had 2 draft abita ambers. There was no peer pressure or anything like that...I just got tired of being the one getting drunk off of water. I had a great time until about the middle of beer #2. I started getting really bad stomach cramps. The kind where all you want to do is get to that one position where it doesn't hurt and never move again. Soon after the cramps started, we all went home and I was able to find a comfortable position to sleep in....fast forward to the morning where I had the worst hangover I have ever had in my entire life. Remember, I am from New Orleans, so I have had my fair share of hangovers. This hangover made me miserable. The worst part about it was that it lasted 2 days! I can honestly say that I will not have another temptation to drink beer again. I learned that lesson the very hard way.

i had a beer at the end of my second week...didnt knock me out of ketosis and didn't slow my weight loss. I generally stay away from the restricted foods so i dont feel bad about having a beer (~8 carbs) once or twice a month. i commend everyone who stick to IP 100% but every once and while i need a treat!

Hey Gordito - You said WISHFUL THINKING!!!! Not that you were actually going to do it!!!! Add to my wishful thinking list - Mio in "fun" flavors like Malbec (my fav red wine), screwdriver (vodka OJ) etc.

You never know, it could happen! They have margarita flavored crystal lite so screwdriver flavored mio doesn't seem like such a stretch!! :D

San antonio...come south about 3 hours and we cn make fajitas and enchiladas.
