#SpringForward Assess: I rarely struggle anymore with staying on my low carb/NSNG/keto eating plan but last night “it” hit me HARD! I’m still not even sure what the IT was. I just wanted something. Anything. I assumed the craving was for something sweet since eating sweet flavors of any kind is something I seldom do so I wasted no time. I knew I needed to slay that dragon in a quick hurry. I do keep a couple of things (dark dark chocolate) around just in case so I brought something in from my garage fridge and buried it in MY drawer in the house fridge. About this time my grown daughter is watching me rummage through the inside pantry and asks me what I’m looking for….”COFFEE…INSTANT COFFEE…I NEED IT NOW!” Lol. 😂 That girl set about making me some good brewed coffee-no questions asked. I added a little butter and a couple sprinkles of RealSalt and sat down to calmly sip my coffee and breath. It worked. God bless my daughter for recognizing my struggle and just reacting. She is not low carb but she sees and knows how I eat. She knows that I go to Disneyland all the time with her and always pass up the churros and all the things that others indulge in. All I ever get is coffee. This was an eye opener for me. Stay strong & diligent peeps! Not sure what I could have done differently. My meal was homemade & 100% clean. I walked after my meal like usual. So I just have to go with, it happens. 🤷‍♀️ BTW: The dark chocolate is now back out in our garage fridge where it lives most of the time. 💪
