I've made a few posts to this group before. It's been beyond helpful to me to be able to talk about my weight loss journey and some of the challenges I come up against.
The current challenge I am facing is having to deal with cheat days, slip ups or whatever you call days where you eat above your deficit.
I have been diligently tracking my calories since September 16th. According to MFP, I have tracked my calories for 178 days straight. I am a little over 66 lb and Brother, let me tell you it feels great.
I've been very meticulous with my eating. Completely switched up my diet. A lot of salads, lean meats, virtually. Virtually no pasta. I can count on one hand. The amount of times I've had pasta since September three times. If my family wants fast food for dinner, that's what they have and I will eat shredded chicken breast and rice.
That is why I am struggling with this weekend. For whatever reason I splurged and while my kids ate McDonald's I ordered myself a pizza from my favorite dive bar. The perfect amount of cheese, pepperoni and grease. I've proceeded to eat the whole pizza myself throughout the night. I also had a few heavy drinks. A Guinness slammer and a White Russian to be exact. Today, I met with some friends after the gym and we had a few drinks at a cigar bar. I proceeded to join them at the local Chinese buffet and ate very big there too.
All in all, I barely ate over what would be my maintenance calories for the day. I was over by 110 calories yesterday and I am 67 calories over today (chatgpt is very helpful in counting).
I can't help but feel a sense of guilt because I haven't eaten at maintenance calories in 178 days. How do you guys combat the feelings of guilt when you go overboard?
