Okay. So it's day 12 for me of vegetarianism.
I'd by lying if I said I didn't have a minor, and a major slip up.
On night 8 a friend of mine and I had two pretty good sized cocktails. I'm (almost) positive I still stayed under my calories for the day, and still pushed through and stayed strong! Then... There was night 10.
Oy... I had two straw-ber-Rita's, one Seagrams wine cooler, and MAYBE three shots, and I was obliterated. My tolerance is absolutely negative since I've been eating so healthy, and trust me, I'm not complaining, it made me proud to know I was doing my body so much good. But it's what that amount of alcohol caused me to EAT that is the embarassing and depressing part of the story...
Swear not to fat-shame or judge me here, as I was inebriated...
3 pizza hot pockets
A ham/cheese/diablo mustard sandwich (on wheat)
And a sausage and gravy pot pie....
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I just sought out every type of meat in my house and ate it. And the next morning I just wanted to cry! Sodium on sodium on processed garbage on carbs...
Since then I've bounced back stronger than ever, silently cursing my negligence and swearing there won't be another "cheat" or poor decision for at least 20 days this time...
But in a nutshell. I knew I had to face those things, and I was hoping for a little pep talk too
ALSO I've been using MFP to track and count my calories, but my scale refuses to say anything is even happening, so my biggest concern was, could I be forcing my body into starvation mode with 1500 calories?
My stats are as follows
Age:22
Gender:female
Height:~5'8"
Weight:~237
I swear I'm eating and doing the right things, I'm not just a "vegetarian" that lives on processed freezer meals or hostess snacks. I've done my best to entirely eliminate processed foods, refined carbs, sugar, most meats (except fish/shellfish) and most dairy products as well.
Clue me in, folks, I'm feeling kindof blue...
