Help! I've blown it!
Before when I couldn't stay on a diet I thought I was too busy or too lazy but now I think I'm an emotional eater. I followed the diet as well as I could for about two weeks. It was fairly easy since you have the menu all planned out. Then after moving my mother into assisted living and having some big tests at school (I'm working toward a PhD.) I got off the diet and somehow started eating things that weren't on the menu plan. I don't even know how it happened. I just kind of woke up and realized I hadn't followed the diet correctly. It was like I just forgot about it, and yet I think I knew I was not following it. I just couldn't do it. My brain just fogged over and I forgot my goals. Any suggestions on how to help me remember each time I eat? And what do I do now that I've blown it??? Do I start over at day 1 or start from the beginning of week three where I was?
Best idea is to start again with 2 weeks of the elim diet- you can repeat weeks 2 and 3 then go ahead with the food re-introductions in weeks 4 and beyond. Don't be hard on yourself about it- beating yourself up won't help. You are human and everyone slips up now and then. Just be mindful from now on about what you are eating- stay with the program and we'll give you lots of tools to combat emotional eating.
Take care,

Oh, man, I'm sorry. I haven't even started yet because I'm afraid I'll do the same thing.
I'm guessing that you'll have to start over because it's an elimination diet the first couple of weeks, and you need to re-introduce the eliminated foods in a structured way. Wait for the official view, though; I'm just guessing.
At least you know you can get through the first two weeks! :)
