I (27F, 5’1 cw185 gw120) am currently sticking to 1200 calorie for my weight loss and since I have recently started a new job from home have been looking for easy, low cal things to make on my lunch. I noticed some frozen thin crust pizzas in the supermarket that were just under 600 cal for the whole thing and my usual frozen pizzas are 750 for the whole thing so it sounded like a realistic win. So today I’ve eaten the pizza and then realised I had forgotten to read the packet and didn’t have the calories exact so googled it. Turns out I got it totally wrong and read the wrong number and the pizza is actually 926 for the whole thing.
Usually my thought process would be “ok you only had a coffee for breakfast so now you must stick to 274 cal for the rest of the day”. But today I thought “oh dear, mistakes happen but it isn’t realistic to stick to 274 calories for the rest of the day when it is only 12pm.”. I am still going to eat the dinner I had planned and potentially just replace the cheat meal I had planned for Saturday as I’m not really craving the planned meal anymore anyway. Plus the pizza was nice enough to use up my cheat meal.
I am really proud to have a healthy thought process instead of punishing myself. I have a lot of negative thought processes to get rid of, most of them not to do with food, this has just given me hope for what my self awareness, positive and being more forgiving of myself mindframe can do.
