After Binge

Has anyone seen a weight drop a couple days after a binge? I know I have, and it happens every time. Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about binging every other day. After dieting for a couple of weeks, you have a day where you do something special and you end up going over your calories. Hey, in real life, it happens!

I told you about Monday where I enjoyed my favorite naughty food (deep fat fried burritos), then ended up going out with my husband and enjoying some Fish N Chips (SOOOO Yummy). Well, today I stepped on the scale, and I'm down 2 more pounds!! I LOVE seeing this weight drop. So, I have a theory.

My theory is that if you stick to low calorie, healthy living lifestyle, make sure you splurge every couple of weeks. It's good for the soul. Especially if you love yummy food!!

My Day Off

So I wasn't planing to have a "day off" from dieting, but that's the way it ended. I chose to treat myself to something I crave. My Monday was terrible, I had to go to the store anyway so I splurged with this treat. I measured out my calories for the day and made this treat fit right into my daily calories along with a salad for dinner. What is this "treat"? Deep Fat Fried deli Burritos. YEAH BABY!!! I know, most people are cringing. But I love these things. So I had my meals planned out, I ate my disgustingly delicious burritos, and them my day changed.

I joined my husband at a bar for a social meeting with friends. The bad part is that this bar has the best fish n chips in town. I had 1 Michelob Ultra, diet soda (which is also on the NO NO list), and I only at HALF of the meal. So I'm definitely over my calories for the day, I had a beer, and I had soda. And I was sick to my stomach on the way home. HA! I guess that's what I get for my gluttony.

The funny thing is that even though I know I messed up, I'm ok with it. I can't be perfect all the time, I don't expect to be. But if I'm good 6 out of 7 days a week, I'm good with that. It may dampen my goal of losing 50 lbs in 6 months though...we'll see.
