Thanks Umpa  :) Today was a better day.  i was going to weigh-in/measurements today but I am going to hold off until Friday because of TOM.  My "Sugar Brain" was quiet today and didn't think about food much. 
Back to work tomorrow and I have packed my lunch. 

This Week's Goal
1. Be real and eat REAL food. 
2. Cut down to 2 diet pepsi per day this week
3. Mark down everything I eat
4. Stay in ketosis

Have a good night - Faith

Hi Faith, if I can make a suggestion? Diet Pepsi and coke are both very very sweet which may be part of your sugar brain. This week try o carb flavored seltzer water. You'll still get a nice flavored carbonated drink but much less "sweet" This will surely help break that sugar brain.

Hi, Faith! :)

Sugar free soft drinks do help quell the "sugar bug" especially during sugar detox.

But after you get past detox and notice that your progress is very slow or stopped,
drop all foods and beverages with artificial sweeteners.
Sweeteners are notorious for causing progress problems!

Yes artificial sweetner is a hugh problem with me. ??? Thank you for reminding because today I am only trace ketosis. This is probably why the times before I would get frustrated because I wasn't losing weight in ketosis. It's time to break this addiction

Wow, Shawn!... I'm so happy that you're OK!!!
I cannot imagine this place without you!

And you were probably getting bored with that car anyway.
A new car is a great "silver lining"! ;D

Thanks everyone  ;D aww ....what a great forum. I am glad your OK TooSweet.

It's funny how everyone has an opinion regarding what you eat.  My co-workers are stuck in the convential low fat diet.  It was a co-worker's birthday today and they brought in a cake.  Today I really was not hungry and didn't have a  piece of cake. Two weeks ago I would have ate 3 pieces  but I was asked why I didn't want a piece of cake and then asked if i was on Low Carb.  So I just let them know I am on low sugar and low carbs.  Well they rolled their eyes.  I don't care - I know Fts works.  Look at all the successes.  

Have a good night
Faith
