Since the 1st of August I have been very strict with my -500 calorie a day deficit (a few days I went even lower than that).
Two days ago, for the first time in 48 days, I went over my deficit and ended up eating a "maintenance day." I didn't want to do this, but I was so goddamn hungry for some reason that I couldn't keep my head on straight to save my life. Even the days that I've been hitting the gym, I've never eaten a maintenance-day. I don't know why my non-gym day had me so hungry! (Blah blah it's 40 degrees outside, blah blah I was ovulating, blah blah human physiology excuses!) [hand waves]
To keep myself from obsessing with this minor hiccup and to prevent myself from punishment for eating 1600 calories, I decided to reward myself for the 9 pounds that I've lost since August 1 by buying a sweater I've been eye-balling since the summer. And, it was on sale for 25% off, too!
Remember, wonderful people: Reward yourself! Don't beat yourself up on hiccup days! Weight loss is not a linear line on a graph.
I come here to re-cage my thinking, and to keep an honest perspective from all your wonderful stories and struggles. I love you people.
