Down 1/2 pound this morning - Day #15, 18 pounds lost (39 for the year). My daughter-in-law brought us a 1/2 pound box of See's candy from her trip to CA. I LOVE See's candy, and would always bring home 1/2# boxes to my son, daughter, and husband (plus their suckers for the grandkids). Well, there was this one particularly delicious-looking piece, and I thought I could just chew it a bit to get some flavor out of it and then spit it out. And that's what I TRIED to do, but it sorta just disintegrated in my mouth, and there WASN'T anything to swallow. I really did not mean to actually EAT the piece of candy, but in effect that's what happened, and it knocked me out of ketosis.
(Someone had asked in a previous journal entry how I could be in ketosis while fasting. I think it is because ketosis is actually the process of burning fat when there are no carbs to burn - since I'm not eating anything, all of the energy it takes for activity and normal bodily functions like breathing, heart beating, etc. are already being powered by the "stored fuel" I have conveniently stored in my belly, hips, thighs, and back boobs.
Normally, if an accident like consuming a piece of chocolate had occurred, I would say, "Well that blew the fast - I'm done with it," and I would go on a months-long binge. Praise the Lord, that didn't happen this time! I realized that I had not intentionally sabotaged my fast, and just continued as usual. This is a BIG God gift! It goes against every way I have operated in the past, and I praise God for the victory! SO, I'll say, "I'm on Day #15 (with an accidental ingestion of a piece of candy," and then I will put it completely behind me and move on.
Thanks again to everyone who supports me and comments on my posts. I appreciate you being involved in my life, and I thank God for the encouragement you all give.
