Mixed feeling today...
Last night my family and I did all the Christmas decorations, followed by ordering in Chineese food. I LOVE CHINEESE take out! I haven't had it in soooo long and looked forward to having a bit of indulgence.
I know that my portion was larger than my normal portions I have been eating, but not insane by any means. I had 1 plate full (as opposed to the 2 -3 I use to do!) I did eat 1/2 an egg roll (this is probably the one thing I wish I would have just said no to)
Anyways, I was well prepared for the fact that this was going to be a higher calorie dinner and loaded with sodium. What I wasn't prepared for was the fact that the scale was going to show 4 lbs increase this morning... 4LBS FROM ONE MEAL...I AM SO PISSED! 1 - 2 pounds was my mental preparation, so this was quite a shocker to me.
I know I am in this for a lifetime, so that to me means I should be able to enjoy one "special" dinner with my family, but seriously that much of an increase is soooo disappointing! am I not supposed to ever have this type of meal EVER?
I think why it bothers me the most is that I have a weigh in day at the gym on Wednesday and I totally sabbotaged myself by eating this ONE meal...grrrrrrrr

it's okay! all that sodium is probably just making your body retain water. after my spike days i gain crazy weight that just sort of melt off in the next couple days. i wouldn't even think of it as an increase, it's only temporary. keep at it! (:
and ohman, i know what you mean about chinese takeout.

I know that feeling so well, Stacie...but even you gain a couple of pounds, think of it as a part of journey that you're enjoying.. it is hard to just keep losing all the way down. Sometimes we NEED to enjoy those food in moderation. You actually did so excellent! I usually don't even think about calories or portion size when I have Chinese food! Have a wonderful & healthy week!
