So I ate dinner and I'm just stuffed (all that curry will do that) but I already prelogged my usual 3 cookies and ice cream for dessert! Should I just woman up and eat them? They are a part of balanced diet after all.

Or maybe I should just not eat them? But then I'll be just under 1400 calories a day, a far cry from the 2000 I usually take in. What if I go into starvation mode and get fat? Or die?!

    I wish I was hungry. Leaving calories on the table just seems like a bad idea.

    But if I eat them after midnight but before I go to bed do I log it as today or tomorrow?

    I'm gonna have to go with the tough love approach and tell them that they already fit into your macros so you'd better just eat them. You def. don't want to encourage starvation mode and you def. don't want to die. You can do it. You totally have this. Just one spoonful at a time and before you know it, that bowl of ice cream will be demolished.

    Good luck on your journey. You've got this.

    I usually just eat more the next day to make up for it.

    This is true, they do fit my macros. Without dessert I'll be 1 gram under on my protein.

    On the other hand, extra cookies tomorrow could be cool. Unless I wake up dead

    Yeah, probably. Husband is more of a sugar cookie guy so he'd part with the chocolate chip pretty easily.

    Or fat. I think I'd eat the cookies, just to avoid gaining weight overnight from not eating enough.

    A very good point. If I've learned nothing else on the forums I've learned that starvation mode is serious business and should be taken seriously and literally in the exact manner most people explain it.

    Which means if I don't eat these cookies I'll stall out. Because my body is on a 24 hour clock and once midnight hits it is over! Bam starvation mode!

    Starvation mode may have already kicked in... Your body is very in tune with you... It probably senses you are contemplating a serious calorie defecit... Eat them... with haste!

    Why would I be joking? Very serious topics are being discussed here.

    Anyway, rude people who think this is some kind of game aside, ive decided to go ahead and eat the cookies. Gotta be strong.

    Don't forget to eat the ice cream too. That's very serious business. If you don't eat ice cream those cookies you ate will instantly turn into fat and get stored.

    Well I'm completely confused by this thread but I hope to get your figure one day OP and be able to eat cookies and icecream for dessert :)

    Oh my, this is an example of some of the misguided advice you'll find here.:grumble: Don't you know it's only the week that matters? You won't go into starvation mode in one day. If you have cookie and ice cream calories left at night, that's breakfast the next day. Of course Sunday is an exception. If the clock strikes midnight Sunday and you are under goal for the week, BOOM, starvation mode and you'll never drop another ounce.

    :tongue:

    (For those who don't "get this" don't worry. You will after reading these forums for a while.)
