    I did great! Under my calories, even ate a hot dog lol
    I was wondering around after dinner, even opened the fridge and cupboard a couple times, but each "loop" around the kitchen, I drank some mio water and that helped.

    Today was another great day, i went over calories a little, but that's not counting the 48 minutes of cycling I did. :)
    So yeah me! day 2 was a success. The sun came out today and the temp finally got about 0 (from Canada) I know its too soon, especially since snow is in the forecast, but the thoughts of spring are dancing around in my head.
    On another note, I didn't get to read yet, I kept myself busy making and stirring my soup lol. Ive got a couple hours before bed so Ill try to get a chapter or two in before that.

    Ok so it's mid week and this is when I usually start to waiver. So far I'm staying strong. I found myself in Wendy's drive through today, but I only got chili (which is delish) came home, ate a banana for a little potassium boost. Now I'm making my breakfast for dinner that I totally forgot I was going to make yesterday lol. I'll post pics in the food thread, but I'm having 2 poached eggs on an English muffin with turkey, mozzarella, roasted peppers and chipotle mayo and shredded sweet potato.

    Ugh, I broke my fast at 7am (12hours in) with mints!!
    Its the only thing I can do right now to stop me from shoving ridiculous amounts of food in my mouth lol. I keep repeating "you DONT want chips" over and over, people are looking at me crazy :) Just kidding I'm only saying it in my head. Gotta keep strong and keep busy.

    Don't despair! I've had days like that, in fact, I just let it all go yesterday and ate as much as wanted to whenever I wanted to. It wasn't great but some days you'll slip up... not giving yourself too hard a time and perhaps trying to get as many nutritious foods in there as possible and then resolving to start again tomorrow might be the best way forward?
    Regardless, you're not alone in this!

    Thank you. I've been here more times than I can count lol but at least now I "go there " for a day instead of a week.

    I remember the first couple of months of IF and I would have a day every once in a while where my intentions was to just have a little and then the flood gates opened. I didn't even try to resist at that point and just decided that was how it was going to be for that day. I got back on the wagon the next day. Lost all food weight within 2-3 days so a bad day like that, once in a while, I figured didn't really hurt me much. Just get back to it!

    I feel much better today, what ever was with me yesterday has passed thankfully. I didnt log everything I ate, but Id give it a rough estimate at 4000k lol. It could have been much worse, luckily I decided not to go to a store to buy something, or else it would have been closer to 6k or more.

    Done that before! Any damage should be gone in a couple of days.
