Well now it's confession time. I have totally pigged out today. I knew it was coming so I had a very light breakfast and lunch but then my 13 year old nephews had their birthday party at my house. I ate chocolate brownie, lemon drizzle cake and allsorts of little cakes. I feel totally bloated and sick and wish I hadn't eaten them now but it's just a one off and tomorrow is another day.
I'm going to try and keep the calories lower as much as possible for a few days but on Sunday we have my son's future in laws coming round for lunch and they are bringing desserts which it will be rude not to at least try.
I'm not so bothered though as I know that it is only occasional days that this happens, it's just bad luck that two of the days were close to each other.
My husband was so proud when I told him that I had run 4km
Hi Val, these types of special occasions are the perfect time to pig out!
In fact, I have chosen to use "cheat meals" only during the "get-togethers"
where I am with other people that are celebrating some kind of special
occasion, and the rest of the time to stick with 100% proper nutrition
on a daily basis.
All that I do is after the "get-together" go for a long 2 hour walk to burn off
the massive amount of calories that I just consumed, and obvioulsy the next
day I get back to eating only healthy food.
This is not an easy thing for people like "us" that like
(love would probably
be a more accurate word...lol) to eat delicious food, but little by little
an awareness comes that makes you realize that eating the delicious, high
calorie foods makes the healthy food seem "untasty."
But, if you eat healthy food all the time, within a very short time, something
changes inside, and healthy food starts to actually taste quite good. This
is the primary reason that I decided to use 100% proper nutrition on a daily
basis and leave the "pigging out" cheat meals for those "special days."
I gotta tell you Val, you have totally transformed yourself from the first time
that I talked to you in this forum, and you seem to be motivating a lot of
folks in here, and that is proof that "transcendence" is real.
And, even though you don't feel that comfortable with me telling you how
awesome I think you are, this doesn't change the fact that you have been
able to transform yourself, and change the structures of your life.
Because of this, your posts in this forum are going to make a huge difference
in the lives of all the other great folks that come in contact with you.
The reason for this is simple: You are genuine, and this is very, very
contagoius. So to end this long post, I really think that you should be quite
proud of yourself, for not only the results you are accomplishing, but also for
sharing a part of yourself that will help and motivate many other people to
finally start walking the path that leads to permanent weight loss.
