Hey, guys! Quick info:
I have been cutting for a few months. I am currently trying to bulk now at 2000 calories a day and will eventually go up. I have only been eating healthy foods for those few months.

Today, my friend wanted to go eat at a chinese buffet. So, I did.

In the morning and around noon ish, I have already consumed 1000 calories.

around evening I headed to the buffet and ate around 5 plates.. had a doughnut blah blah. I think I deserved it anyways, been eating clean for a few months.

This whole weekend there will be TONS of event's coming up, food festivals, ethnic festivals, you name it. its here! So, I was thinking about just forget it and eat good this whole week. What do you think?


Here is what I ate at the buffet today.. Lol. They were looking at me weird because I was taking pictures of everything I ate and thought I was doing a report on their restaurant.

    Don't let one bad day or one bad meal throw you. I shoot for doing it right 80% of the time. If you never cheat or have yummy food you won't stick to it. This isn't a diet, this is a new lifestyle.

    Yeah, I was thinking about treating myself this weekend without thinking about the calories but still do my usual workout and start fresh again the following week.

    if you dont think you can control your self at a chinese buffet then dont go.

    when I go I only go up once ! I always have 3 plates coming back with me, and I eat about 1 1/2 of them I never finish. I guess I told my self when i go to a restaurant i wouldnt order 5 plates I would just get one or two.

    I would eat before I go to the events, when i am full I dont care to eat. My Belly is so full I can't eat.

    Oh and if people or friends say " come on just have a bite" or come on you know you want it". walk away. you dont have to listen to that.

    At dinner the other night I was so full and I still had a half of plate left, I friend was giving me ****. and I said DAMN man ! Im not hungry, if you want it then eat it, but stop shuving it down my throut. I told him I am one person, one mouth, and one belly that got full already. he said I sorry. that was almost 2 weeks ago and I have never herd him tell me to eat the rest of my food again.

    Oh, I can handle it. I was just curious you know? I mean I have been eating absolutely clean for literally 6 months straight. This is the first time in forever that I've eaten at a buffet or "junk" food period. Yeah, people give me crap all of the time but I just be like whatever and don't eat it. I mean, I did manage that for 6 months. But thanks for your input.

    Be careful though. My stomach/body doesn't like all the stuff I consider a "treat" anymore. A couple of weeks ago I decided to treat myself to a big helping of onion rings and ranch to dip them in. Within an hour my stomach was turing so violently I walked around for the afternoon feeling like I needed to hurl. Tried to treat myself to pizza this past weekend.....same thing. It is odd that something I used to daydream about now makes me sick to my stomach LOL
