Diea's Journal, 15 December 2017

I found out that cheatdays come along without planning them explicitly...so I gave that up. But without regrets I eat on special events and parties...enjoying those as my cheatdays 😉 

Hop back on the healthy train and let's keep going!!  

We've all been there. Edy's/Dreyer's cookie dough ice cream is my Kryptonite too. I only buy Halo Top and Enlightened ice cream now for this very reason. Eating the whole thing is not a problem with one of those.  

Don't fret what's done is done. Start fresh tomorrow! 

Murphthesurf, that's a great question. I think I had 10 spoonfuls or so. They were obviously huge portions. This was a grand cheat meal, probably the grandest of them all in my weight loss journey. And yes, everyone, I was very positive about this. I mean, I accepted my defeat at the hands of the ice cream gallon, really did some critical retrospection, and got back in the game. Fitness and calorie counting is definitely back. 

Also, thank you to everyone who confessed to having done the same. It's great to have allies on FS who share experiences and tips for getting back on that healthy lifestyle. These are definitely fewer and far between. I used to do this very regularly before dedicating my life to health and wellness. I slipped back into an old habit, and am definitely proud that this is such a rarity.  

Diea, I was always taught if your going to do...do it right,and baby you did it right!! Ye Hal lol 

i've come to terms that there are some foods by which I will never be reasonable. I no longer buy them. The dopamine release is just too powerful, I can't put them down. (it's also a tactic by the food industry to combine ingredients that addict us) having said that, i do have those days where i splurge, and give myself permission. they are few and far between, but are done without guilt. But based on results on my weight loss journey, I'm clearly not an example to follow :) Merry Christmas, and happy festivus, to the rest of us!  

Yes, happy holiday everyone!!
