Lost All Discipline
While I was at the county fair today I somehow justified to myself that it would be o.k. to have a cheat meal. It’s crazy because I am extremely disciplined, until I convince myself that it is o.k. to have a cheat meal. That’s when all hell breaks lose and I am like an uncontrollable animal searching around for any unhealthy food I can get my hands on. It was all because I realized that I haven’t had a cheat meal in about three weeks. My diet is controlled, not entirely strict. I eat fruits and cottage cheese and probably too much peanut butter most of the time. So basically I’m not sure I was really WORTHY of a cheat meal tonight. Anyways, I decided to get a burrito, with just chicken, beans, and rice. Not too bad for a cheat meal. Then I was still hungry. I decided to get a huge waffle cone with oreo’s and butterfinger topping. That’s probably a little too much. I got home and was still not full, and I couldn’t stop thinking about food and how I wanted MORE. So I made a bowl of cereal, Raisin Bran Crunch, which turned into half of the box. Believe it or not I still am hungry. I mean how is this possible? I think it’s also because I know I’m about to start dieting and so I figure who cares if I get fatter before I start dieting? It’ll make the before pictures better. HA! It’s funny how I can find a way to justify anything. I’m going to the gym before I make myself sick.

One day/night like that isn’t going to make much of a difference to anything if your eating right the rest of the time… infact it may help you out if you are constantly eat in calorie deficit as a good ‘feed’ like this once in a while will help stop the body from going into ’starvation mode’ - during which time your metabolism will slow down to preserve energy deposits i.e FAT.
so gain your discipline back tomorrow and forget about it… I had a similar weekend, we had friends stay, waay too much food and beer… but i haven’t done that in a looong time so i’m not stressing over it… and I just did a double cardio session to make up for it… that is one funny thing, always have heaps of energy the day after a binge… lol
