I'm slightly conflicted. I do occasionally miss the ignorance of not knowing how many calories are in that doughnut/ice cream/cookie that I want. At the same time, it's my lack of ignorance that keeps me on plan and allows me to keep losing or maintain, instead of being 200+ pounds again.
So I guess what I really miss is the act of eating without thinking about the ramifications and consequences of every bite I put into my body. I can't turn off my brain anymore. I can't unlearn things. So, even with planned high calorie days, I sometimes have to make myself not feel guilty about what I'm eating - even though I've planned for it! That's aggravating. I wish I had a "high calorie day" switch in my brain.
