Hi Guys,
Soooo last night was my one year anniversary with my boyfriend, so he took me out to the Melting Pot for dinner. For those of you who don't know, the melting pot is a fondue restaurant. It's phenomenal, but it's really easy to go calorie crazy... which i totally did, and it was totally worth it.
I knew I was going to blow it going into it, but I feel like I planned accordingly to the best of my ability. Before we went out, I ran for 30 minutes at 6.2 mph, so I burned 330 calories. I use my fitness pal, and my goal is set to 1 lb per week. By dinner, I still had 730 calories to use, however I believe my dinner was at least 1400 calories (LOLOLOLOLOLOL)
I had:
-At least 1/2 of the cheese pot (dipping bread into it)
-4 glasses of Sangria wine
-the "land & sea" dinner plate (believe it or not - only like, 350 calories! and that was the main dish!)
-Dark chocolate fondue (dipping some brownies, and some strawberries into it).
By dessert, I was STUFFED so I don't even think I ate 25% of the plate. I'm pretty sure the sangria alone ruined the 700 calories I had left for the day though. Bahaha!
I've been dieting for almost 2 weeks, so I truly think my stomach has become more sensitive to being full like that. I felt so ill last night and into this morning, that I couldn't even eat breakfast!
We had a lovely time, and it was SOOO delicious. I guess what I wanted to say after all this rambling was that usually, when I "blow it" after one meal on a diet, I approach it like "I failed - better luck next time." BUT I got right back on track today, and to feel less guilty i'm going to go workout in a minute!!! In the past, I have been such an "all or nothing" dieter, and i'm really trying to not do that this time.
Does anyone else have like, an "all or nothing" approach or have had experience with having an "all or nothing approach"? How do you handle it? I'm glad I got over it today, but I just hope it lasts for the rest of the week/month! Any advice is greatly appreciated!
