Yesterday was basically a zero day. Not good on the diet front. Dinner was circumstantial, but lunch was my fault entirely: weakness and my OCD about not wasting food (it was a kid's meal that I didn't want to go to waste).
I learned two things:
1. Chicken tenders have a *lot* of calories in them! I knew they weren't great for you but I didn't realise it was that bad...
2. I had fast food for two meals yesterday and *still* ended up with a caloric deficit. How on earth did I ever manage to eat a surplus so often that I gained as much weight as I have? Having fast food twice in a day isn't something that I've ever done often, so I'm puzzled. :) Probably a combination of a larger breakfast with numerous additional snacks thought the day. Still, it's a positive thought: in the two weeks since I've been doing this, my mindset has already changed to the point where I struggle to think how I could possibly eat enough to gain weight. I felt like a pig yesterday after all was said and done: it's a feeling that I remember from before, and did not enjoy it at all. Lesson learned.
So I'll count this as a "spike" day or whatever it's being called these days. Back on track today, with 210 in sight. I would love to see that sometime in the next week. :)
