Fell off the paleo wagon today....

[hi725]

Hard.
I started eating paleo back in May in an attempt to stop my migraines, which were coming with alarming frequency. Aside from a glass of wine every week or two, I hadn't really deviated from the plan. There was a bowl of Halloween candy at work today and I'm hard-core PMS-ing. So, I swiped a butterfinger bar. One turned into 8, and then 8 turned into I-lost-fucking-count-somewhere-around-20, I just kept eating, stuffing them in my face like they were crack. Seriously, not in control of my actions, at all.

I feel awful right now, and I dread the explosion of vomit that may be brewing.

Sugar and gluten, man, they'll get you every time.

But for serious, there's no wagon. It's just you and your life and what you decide to eat. And you can choose to wake up tomorrow and eat clean and today will just be a blip. Dust yo' self off!

[hi725]

I know there is technically no "wagon". I was just amazed that none of that crap was even slightly appealing to me for the past five months, then Bam! I turn into a rabid sugar junkie. Wtf? If I survive the night, I am never touching candy again.

Sorry, I hope you don't get sick!

[bonquiqui]

I hope you feel better!

Dude, Butterfingers are like crack. You can't just eat 5.

I don't get them for Halloween anymore because they never actually make it to TOTing.

Wait wine isn't paleo?

Alcohol is not technical in the crazy militant sense. But I dare you to find a paleo person who doesn't drink wine or tequila on the regular.

absolutely. 

[hi725]

I would like to say that I'm not crazy militant about this. I cut way back on wine because of the migraines.

[wambam]

Oh no I didn't think you were. "On the regular" May have been a strong phrase.

Have you ever tried nitrate free wine (I think this means organic)...a friend of mine gets migraines because of nitrates but can drink organic wine just fine. 

Just in case you want to have a glass or two without bringing on a migraine

[hi725]

Oh, I didn't take offense at anything. I only meant that I'm really not hard core. I cut out grains, dairy, sugar, and all processed stuff. I couldn't tell you what militant paleo even means because I'm not it, lol. I use the dessert cheats that I know are a no-no for the super serious. I use maple syrup heavily in place of sugar. I was just strict enough that the butterfingers have turned me upside down.

Ok I fell better...we drink booze and we are (were) paleo (and by we I mean DH mostly and I fell off the wagon when I got PG...I need to get back on it though).

eDIT: we are (were) modified paleo because we ate dairy too.

I drink wine semi-regularly and most would consider me pretty militant (for myself, not for others),

I had to stop when I got pregnant. I thought I would start again for 2nd tri once the m/s passed but I haven't.  I still *need* pasta and bread...my body is demanding it. More than anything, I feel like this is the 9 month period in my life when I can justify it. Which is horrible only because I always said I would well through my pregnancy. I eat horribly.

You slipped a little bit today, that's all.  It happens and it's not going to undo all the work you've done so far.

Tomorrow you get to start all over again.



I hope you don't puke but is it a true possibility? I've discovered that if I really overindulge it does push me to the point where I end up puking because I feel so gross.
