Right off the bat, I'll say that today was not my healthiest day. I had some chips and guacamole for a snack, 2 slices of pizza for dinner and then a couple scoops of ice cream afterwards.
However, I am very pleased with how today went eating-wise. Why? Other days, this is what would have happened: half a bag of chips and a ton of guacamole, as much pizza as I could eat, a whole thing of ice cream. I would say that's an improvement and most importantly, it's how "normal" people eat. Normal eating people get right back to eating healthily the next day without too much guilt, which is my plan! Usually going off plan leads to out of control binging because hey, why not? I've already ruined the day! I even pondered eating the rest of the junk food because I wanted all the "bad" food gone, which is the ridiculously illogical thought process of compulsive overeating. I can have the leftover pizza later or give it to my roommate. Where did this "eat all the bad food at once and start fresh tomorrow" nonsense come from? So even though the food wasn't healthy and I was slightly over my calories, I still ate with a normal mindset: I ate foods that I liked/wanted and stopped when I was full after having a little bit. To me, that is a victory!
