Oh lord. I ate really bad today!

okay i've been sick for the last two days and have been sleeping a lot. today I had a small oreo blizzard from dairy queen and a lot of brownie. what do I do? i never eat sweets but it got out of control today. help!

it's only one day. there's always tomorrow! if anything, it was a shock to your metabolism and could help you in the long run.

For the past week I have not been able to stop sneaking bites of ice cream from my parents stash in the freezer. Their ice cream has never been appealing to me but its like BAM! out of nowhere I just crave it. I even bought my own Blue Bunny fudge lites so I can have my chocolatey goodness without eating theirs but I still sneak bites. I feel your pain. Just keep it to today and keep on living!

Yeah.. This weekend I pretty much sucked at life. I was outside a lot.. But wish I was more active than I wanted to be!

I have been so stressed the past few weeks (I am moving this Friday into my apartment- so the preparing/buying/running around for that has been crazy) that I haven't been keeping up with my regular exercise.. I have still been making healthy food choices with the occasional dessert this weekend at a couple memorial day parties.. But with the alcohol and the "non-deficit".. I feel like a failure!

My own personal "detox" this weeek! NO sweets, NO cereal, tons of fruits/vegetables/lean meats/and water!

This weekend, I stopped paying attention (intentionally) to what I ate.  I had fast food for most of my meals (I very rarely eat fast food normally), deserts and sweets, and even a 'forbidden' bacon cheeseburger with fries! =o  I didn't log for four whole days, and I know I ate like crap.

Stepping on the scale today, I am a half pound lighter than I was before.  I have no desire for the foods I'd been eating, and am definitely craving some fresh fruit again!

 

Sometimes, your body knows what you need, and overrides your mind to get it.  That's my theory, anyways. :]  Don't stress.

First of all, normal ice cream (not made with butter) is a very healthy snack, as it supplies you with a lot of calcium and sugar, which boosts your energy.

 

Second, it is ok to eat really bad for one day. We all need it once in a while. Just make sure to eat better tomorrow. Have your 5 pieces of fruit/vegetables, drink a lot of water and try to walk a lot, and use the stairs, in order to burn all the sugar you ate today. Non burned sugar turns into fat.

 

And third, try not to get obsessed with food. Food should always be seen as a pleasure, not an obsession.

 

I hope this tips have helped you!
