'cheat day' getting better

usually on friday night after work, i pig out. i let myself get pretty much whatever i want and can eat in one night. the rest of the week i'm pretty good with food. i don't buy any junk when i go grocery shopping and only eat the mostly healthy food i buy from this weekly shopping visit.

to be clear, i don't think pigging out like this even once a week is conducive for weight loss, i've just become very attached to over-eating and it's still something i need to realize i don't enjoy the way i used to (thank god). in reality, it doesn't really do much for me and i'm getting closer and closer to being a 'normal' person who's satisfied with something like a single donut as a treat after work on friday instead of eating half a dozen. good news is, i seem to be making progress in this regard.

as evidence of this progress, today i was doing my junk food run coming home from work and stopped at a store where i haven't shopped for months. i was there to pick up ice cream (two containers of ben and jerry's is way too much ice cream to eat in one night but still about half as much ice cream as a full tub) and went to see if these donuts i used to buy were still there. i was looking for them as i'd remembered them: a moderate assortment. i wasn't seeing them and when i finally did i was shocked. they were not a moderate assortment, the package of them was enormous! i was stunned that i used to eat all of them plus, like, a pizza or something on my cheat day.

i still have to work on the idea of a small amount of junk being enough and how i don't need something way over the top to be treated and satisfied. i'm confident i can get there.
