LCHF weeks 7 and 8

It has been a while since I posted last. How's been going? Ok-ish I guess.
I bought myself some ketostix, so now I can monitor what happens with my ketosis. I often drink during the weekends and I could now monitor that those excesses bring some diminishing amount of ketones in my body. Therefore the slow change on my weight. I am now at 72 kg... The same I was before I ate the cookies and fell off the diet wagon. The thing I learned was that once you fall out of the diet, all the usual carb cravings come back. So you have to re-adapt once more to the diet like you just started it. Tough price to pay for one infraction, but at the same time, this diet is easy to follow (never hungry!) and something is gotta give, I guess. Going out for dinner is truly an art, as many places cannot conceive you don't want fries or potatoes (aren't they the same?), but I just have to bite the bitter pill and pay more (ordering an extra salad, for example). Tapas is the best option for me, as they usually have nuts, olives and some meaty things that I can consume. I feel leaner though, and a bit trimmed, and my ego has taken this with cherish relief. I would love to have my BMI below obese for the summer, just that would make me very happy. My contentment with myself shows: people say I look sunnier than before... even though I often have this sad/sensitive/raw feeling in me.  I don't understand it and I think it is a by-product of the burning of the fat on my body. Fat cells store the toxins of the body, and depressive people are full of toxins, so it makes sense that if you are full of toxins you feel prone to sensitivity, sadness, anger.
