Does anyone else find they can't have food treats any more?

I've been eating super healthily for so long it seems I actually can't treat myself any more! I know in many ways this is a good thing, but also sometimes frustrating when you'd like to enjoy some rather luxurious food...

Case in point: this weekend we had friends over to celebrate a birthday and I decided I could be free to have a nice indulgent meal - after all life is for living and everyone keeps saying one day won't undo two years of good work. It was hardly a binge but I had a lovely big plate of lasagne, garlic bread and salad and then a couple of profiteroles with ice cream and 3 small glasses of white wine. I cooked it all from scratch and it was delicious and I even tracked it :-)

End result - Swollen joints, bloated system, energy crash, bad mood and 4lbs gained overnight apparently!

It's taken me 3 days, what feels like a million gallons of water and a five mile run to make me feel human again!

Gah. Next time I'll be the one having chicken salad and a cup of tea!
