Why do I do things like this?

  • Tomorrow is the last day of a long term (yipee!). I've been eating fairly well, staying within my calorie range, which I up every Saturday for indulgences I've been losing weight, but every now and again I feel the "need" to reward myself for...um...breathing? IDK, the term ain't over yet! Haha! This morning, I had a cupcake for breakfast (gasp!). I'm not beating myself up over it, but usually I tell myself...that can wait until Saturday, today I just "caved" without a second thought. The brain is a strange thing...methodically planning healthy meals one moment...flippantly downing a carb-bomb the next! How do you prevent unplanned cupcakes from sneaking into your diet? My plan is to skip lunch and eat chicken & veggies for dinner to balance things out a bit.
  • A 100% perfect diet is a fool's errand. Don't skip lunch.
  • I know I do the same thing......we just got home from camping all week. This morning I was busy cleaning up and packing, grabbed a couple of oreos for breakfast just because I was too busy to make myself something to eat. Yeah right! Get home and we order the kids pizza because we're too tired to cook, of course I helped myself to some of that as well. I said on another thread that I am NOT going near a scale for a week!
  • Oh boy, this is me to a t! It's partly why I've had to tweak and make sure there is a lot of flexibility/room for extra calories in my plan, because I've been known to be good for MONTHS and then one day, I just can't be.

    Enjoy your cupcake, and keep going!
