In the past as soon as 5pm hit on a Friday afternoon I found myself saying to myself that the weekend is here and F my eating clean until Monday morning! Many people say that a person should treat themselves to one cheat meal a week, but I would think that heck, if I was so good from Monday through Friday then I deserve to have a cheat day or even weekend. Well, as we all know, that doesn't work. When I would eat like crap the entire weekend I would regress to back to where I was on the scale from Monday morning and all that progress would be for not.
Well, I am happy to announce that since my journey started (again) on Thursday I ate pretty clean the entire weekend and when I weighed myself this morning I am down 5.6 pounds. I"m very excited!!
Yesterday my family went to this wine festival where it was all you can taste for a few hours. Thinking about exactly how much wine I drank I can honestly say that it must have been just about one glass or maybe one and half. There were so many people that it was hard to get to the front of the table to actually get a taste. It definitely was a great time. There were food vendors and wine tables all over the place. I had some samples of sauces on bread, but overall that didn't affect my weight loss since I lost weight overall. The amount of tasting I did probably amounted to the size of my index finger.
My point to today's post is that you should treat yourself for your success. You should not eliminate all foods that are bad because your body craves them. In my past I have cheated and then I kept cheating and cheating and here I am with all of my weight back on.
Don't deprive yourself. Focus on portion control and calories or "points" like I am doing.
Hope everyone has a great week!!
