Not enjoying my "cheat" meals very much anymore

So this past Saturday, I had an out and out Cheat/Splurge Day. Unlike regular cheat meals, I just decided for various reasons I was going to eat whatever the heck I wanted all day, just like I did before I started dieting. We're talking sugary cereal, chips, ice cream, french fries.....it came to about 2400 calories, so not too absurd for me...(unlike if it had been 4000 calories or something). I've had each of those things here and there in the last 6 months I've been on my weight loss journey, and I used to eat like that regularly. But I haven't had a day like that since before I started.

Well, my stomach did NOT thank me for that. For a good 24 hours I did not feel well at all. Then yesterday, I had a normal healthy breakfast and lunch, but decided to have Jack in the Box chicken sandwich and onion rings for dinner. My stomach didn't really care for that either.

Hmmm. It kind of seems like my body has acclimated to the healthy food and doesn't do well with the treats anymore. I still have 17 lbs to go, and since I hope after I meet goal I can come up with a maintenance diet that includes treats more often...I sure hope this doesn't stay a problem.

I'm probably not the only one who's had this experience, right?

The only difference I've found with 'cheat meals' is that they fill me up for much longer than before.
Though foods with a lot of salt do make my stomach turn since I've started eating a bit more healthy.
