Last weekend:
Tracked all day Saturday with the intention to stay within my meager 1330 calorie goal (I’m 4 months postpartum and breastfeeding, so this isn’t exactly a feast) and ended up eating two pieces of pizza and some wings for dinner.
Sunday: tracked all day, ate a little candy, and had some Chinese for dinner because I lost willpower.
This week has been fighting to get back down to a low weight I achieved last Wednesday. Had I stayed the course and not gone off plan, I probably would have reached a new weight loss milestone.
Needless to say, cheat ANYTHING isn’t worth it from a numbers perspective, and definitely not worth it if you get hung up on those numbers like I do.
I’d usually be discouraged because I have a closet full of clothes that don’t fit as well, and there is so much pressure to “bounce back” after having a baby, but I’m not. It makes me more committed to staying the course, even on days where I don’t want to think about wtf I’m going to eat on top of what 2/3 kids will eat, and even when I’d rather not for the sake of convenience.
I know I’ll keep losing again, but I know I won’t get to where I’m going by cheating and effectively taking two steps forward and one step back. Lesson learned!
