i was bad again

:-D

Oh, not really horrible -- there will be no lasting damage.  We just spent last evening with our dear neighbors who ALWAYS fill us with great food, wine and friendship.  Had a great time, drank too much and ate a lot of carbs.  Won't happen again for some time.

THIS is why i'm "good" most of the time -- so i can enjoy a blowout like this occasionally with no regret.  Should i call it an unintentional leptin reset?

I DO realize that i'm lucky, and what i ate over the course of a few hours won't start me down a cravings-slide:  some people are in danger if they have ANY disallowed food.  If i indulged for an extended period, it would be more dangerous in that respect, kinda like when my husband worked in New Orleans for almost two years.  I had been doing low-carb for five years or so at that time, and going back to occasional wheat-eating was hard on my body, but i was also doing a huge amount of walking, so the scale went up only a little -- though the pain levels were significantly higher.  But sometimes things were irresistible -- barbecued oysters, anyone?  :-)

Today i'm delaying my fast-breaking, allowing some of that stored sugar to come out and be burnt.  Tomorrow i'll have the guts to get back on the scale.  I have a beautiful chuck roast all ready to go into the grinder, and i'll start eating right again, and we'll all live happily ever after.
