So I went...a lot off track yesterday. My TOM started yesterday, and the cadbury mini eggs were on sale at CVS, and my hormones took control. And I made pizza yesterday, I had 2 slices, but being that it was homemade, the two slices literally were the equivalent to one slice of pizza you would order out.

I'm not kicking myself mentally for it. Physically...yes. I feel like total junk today for it! I haven't eaten like that in more than a month, and that was my reassurance as to how great I feel eating healthy and exercising every day. It definitely reminded me that I am changing for the good, and that I don't want to feel guilty or bloated every single day.

As for the rest of the cadbury eggs, I portioned them into snack bags so I can't just walk by and munch on a few. I either have the whole serving and add the 190 calories for the day, or I have none.

Don't kick yourself too much for it! I had a not so good last two days...probably due to TOM. We all fall off the wagon now and again.

i wasn't kicking myself for it, i was saying that my body physically felt like crap (something i can't control) and that it was reinforcement that my change is a good one.

For me that gross feeling can be a really good motivator. If I go off track and then I feel bad the next day, it undoes whatever "good" I was feeling from whatever I ate, and it makes me feel extra positive about the healthy choices I make over the next few days. Plus, the next time I want to eat something I shouldn't it's a lot easier not to do it.

Mmmmmmm, cadbury eggs are dangerously amazing! I don't blame you; I have some sitting in my kitchen and it's so hard not to just devour them.

Drink a lot of water today. That's the best way to take care of feeling icky because of excess junk food :-)

And remember, one day isn't going to hurt! :-)

I was that way today.. I had popeyes and afterward felt like a tub of lard. I know its going to be that way, but I eat it anyways. Blah.

When you eat healthy you don't have that rock in your stomach feeling.

I understand the hangover, lol. I didn't eat enough for dinner, and binged early this morning when my blood-sugar took a dive. It is the worst binge I have had in weeks, and I felt like crap this morning, lethargy, headache, EVERYTHING, when I woke up. So, I am taking my off-day (really, I only go over by 1-300, so no biggie) today instead of tomorrow, and starting tomorrow I will eat healthy all the way to my normal off-day, and make sure I don't short myself at dinner. That means 8 days, instead of 7, till I get a treat, but feeling better and in control is worth it.

That being said, you are a better woman than I if you can have Cadbury eggs in the house at TOM, and only eat one, lol.

Food hangover, what a great way to describe it! It just feels disgusting, physically. Like your blood is coagulating and somebody just tarred your mouth with plaque.

i totally agree with this. half the time after i splurge on an order of fries or whatever, i'm still hungry! lol

ew i definitely have had food hangovers. they really are like alcohol hangovers for me..i wake up so thirsty. (probably all the salt intake from the junk causing me to be dehydrated.) also my body is sore..like behind my neck and especially my belly. weird phenomenon.
