My wimpy cheat day

Gee, I can't even do a cheat day right! (Background, I've gained 4 pounds by the scale in the last two weeks, even though I haven't exceeded my calorie range .... depression!) So....

Wow, I decided I would do a cheat day .... gee, what I did I cheat on?. I had two fully-caffeinated Diet Cokes and instead of the school salad bar, I had the school b-b-q pork, without sauce or bread. Wow!

What happened to the days when I felt sorry for myself and I had an entire large pepperoni pizza by myself?

Okay, I am definitely making this a lifestyle change .... but, you know, when those 4 pounds disappear, I'm going to go out and have a scoop some ice cream with chocolate sauce! That won't be a cheat, it will be a planned treat to fit within my calories.

    Cheat day or meals don't necessary need to be fastfood. Just something that is not good for you something you consider on your naughty list. For me I am prepping for a competition so pasta is not on my mealplan. So when my treat meal comes around I can have pasta. etc.

    Don't stress to much on the 4 lbs...Accept it, See it, Move on...don't focus on the scale to much. It took me a long time to not focus on the number on the scale and to focus on how I look from month to month with comparison photos :)

    All my best to you on your journey :flowerforyou: PG
