Well it was my brother's 16th birthday today. Of course, there was celebration food. I was surprised with how well I stuck to my diet. I had muesli for breakfast and a sandwich and yoghurt for lunch, and the only snack I had all day was a vanilla biscuit (and lots of water).
We had a chinese for the birthday dinner, and though I felt like I ate a lot, I only had a plateful. I just don't really know much about chinese food - is it very fattening? Well, it tasted delicious, and there were some veggies in with the meat which I ate, so that's good. The only thing would be my brother's chocolate birthday cake. Only it's our family's secret recipe, so it's probably about 5000 calories a slice. I was so close to not having any, but it was my brother's birthday, and I hadn't had my family's cake in 2 years. So I had a TINY piece. Everyone else had seconds, but I didn't. And for that I feel proud. Still that tiny piece was probably about 500 calories...
I felt so bad after that. I felt really guilty over that one piece of cake. Just because I weighed myself this morning and I was down 0.1kg. And that isn't much, but it still feels good. That's what motivates me the most to keep up this diet.
The thing is I never wanted to be one of those people who calorie counted and felt guilty over eating something sugary. And my mind was saying "come on, it's a treat! you only had a small bit and you can work it off tomorrow!" I still felt really guilty though. I didn't want to have had my efforts be for nothing. I;ve been doing really well these last few days, and I just don't want to see my weight go back up. Because that is the most demotivational things ever. If I work my ass off to try and stick to this healthy lifestyle, and I see my weight go back up, I'm so sure that I'll just give up. I can't let that happen. Which is why I'm having another round on the crosstrainer. I did 10 mins this morning (an improvement) and I'll see if I can do another 10 mins now.
* I stopped halfway through adding my dinner to the calorie counter. It's a bit too painful...
