I have indulgent meals sometimes and I don't feel bad about it. Fat tastes GOOD. If I'm going to go off plan, I own that - I try to be conscious of what I'm putting in my body, if I'm NOT okay with eating that many calories, I don't do it.

Good for you for planning it, sticking with it, and ENJOYING it.

EXACTLY what I was thinking.

Holy calories batman! I don't even know if I could get all that food down, and I can usually binge with the best of them! lol But good for you for not feeling guilty for having an off plan meal one time. I'm curious whether you stayed on plan the rest of the day?

Guess he didn't get back on plan because he didn't post last night like he said he would. That was an obscene amount of food.

I am curious too if he got back OP.. I can barely eat 2 pancakes... I would not be able to even move after all that.

Its good to plan ahead for meals like that, but not go overboard.

I've had those "Goodbye" meals before. That is ALOT but it sounds delicious.

My father used to eat big breakfasts on the weekends, too, though he was a foot shorter and only one or two of those dishes would suffice!

Since I've read your other post with your progress pics and know you do a lot of weight lifting, I know this one meal will not make a dent in the long run. You're probably getting a lot of shocked responses because you're talking to women with very different standards. Do you belong to any forums for men?

Yeah, what she said.

BTW, good news. I'm grilling up a couple of chicken breasts for lunch, and planning on a couple of lean cubed steaks and veggies for dinner... I've got to be honest though, I was really close to ordering a pizza but I thought better of it. Time to get down to that 1/2 way mark this week.

Naw, I like this forum. It's fun to see what this struggle is like for women and share what its like for men too.

I would give anything to have a morning like that! My family always makes a big breakfast Sunday, usually biscuits and gravy, and I used to eat myself sick! This Sunday the hubby made biscuits and gravy.

So what did I do? Hmmm.... I smelled it until I was in a state of gravy inebriation and then I drank a slimfast. I'm so jealous of you, my dear. But, it was an interesting read, with all the light weights on here that couldn't imagine eating that much in one sitting : )

I love breakfast. Favorite meal of the day! I don't like steak with it, but swap that sucker for some pork links or bacon and we'd be best friends for life.

Anyway, I think it's fine you got a "cheat" meal in and at 6'6" I can't even begrudge you the calories for it. I actually had eggs and sausage the other day and ****, looking at that plate the only thing that'd throw my tummy off was the pancakes or hashbrowns, haha.

P.s. I like your Deathstar.

Thats a LOT of food! Haha even when I was..lets just say participating in "extra" curricular activities I couldnt pound down steak, eggs, omelettes, potatoes, and pancakes! Though I do also have a nearly bottomless pit of a stomach.

That sounds sooooo good. Maybe i'll make my cheat day on friday some Eggs and bluberry pancakes.

Its my birthday so today is my disaster lunch (not dinner becuase jerks at work are making me work 2nd shift even on my birthday). Chicken Farfalle and garlic with a slice of Chris's Outragoues Chocolate cake.
