And I think I'm still in control. I'll have to see.

I call it a 'mini-binge' as it involved eating not 1 ounce of cashews as I had planned, but mowing through about two-thirds of the 8 ounce container over the course of the afternoon. It definitely wasn't planned that way, but I figure it's probably under 1000 calories. And please. When I'm really binging I can pack away 7000 calories or more without breaking a sweat! This is child's play, pfft, 1000 calories! Plus it was at least healthier than 1000 calories of mini snickers (which were also in arm's reach).

So I got home and did my getting-home routine, and then went for a 30 minute walk on the treadmill. I wasn't hungry for dinner at my normal time (go figure, I just ate 5 or 6 ounces of cashews!) so I didn't eat. Just now, about 2 hours later than normal, I'm a bit hungry. So I'm having one of those Jimmy Dean D-Lights light egg muffin thingies, and some leftover steamed broccoli because I feel veggie deprived. I go to bed in a couple of hours and, though I can easily plow through thousands of calories between now and then, I don't really feel inclined. Heck, I didn't even dig into the Ben&Jerry's in the freezer! (It's a single-serving container, I know better than to keep pints around.)

I'll have to see how this goes. Rebounding is always hard for me, because I'm a perfectionist, but I've been reading some good thoughts on the issue lately so I'll see how it goes.
