    Today's update - so on Monday I had sausages, eggs, and chips was really yummy ,,,, on Tuesday I had lasagne and roast potatoes obviously needed my cheese fix lol ,,,, need to start taking meal pictures again ,,,, I keep forgetting ,,,, today I'm going to eat eat eat ,,,, or try too really I'm using it as a day where I can just destress and relax 😊😊😊 hope your all doing well and staying safe ❀❀❀

    Ya know what's funny is that I pretty much eat what I want on the weekends, but I find myself not really eating until late in the day out of habit and because when I KNOW I CAN EAT, I don't really think about food that much - isn't it funny how our brains work? I definitely eat more because once I start eating it's game over, but it's so odd how ALLLLLLLLLLLLL week I'll be obsessive about food all day until my OMAD/mini fast (right now LOL) but the weekend comes when I CAN eat and I'm just like meh...I'mma think for a lil while longer what I want hahahahahaha

    Have a great splurge day!!! Enjoy, beautiful <3

    Sometimes it's nice to treat yourself to food :') ,,,, yha that is funny ,,,, I find as well that whenever I do splurge I end up feeling full really quickly and not eating as much as I thought I could but still enjoying it ,,,, I'm just listening to my body really but not being too strict with it either ,,,, maybe by the weekend time your body is used to your OMAD/mini fasts I think it's amazing that your body doesn't need three meals a day and you can survive and feel better on the one meal a day ,,,, still people tend to tell me how silly I am because I'm skipping meals but having a normal sized meal in the afternoon with a snack and dessert still fills me up 😊😊😊😊 I also think changing it up sometimes helps a lot hence why I have my own splurge day ,,,, thank you soooo much ❀ ,,,, I'm glad to hear your journey is going well ,,,, I've been reading your journey and it is soooo inspiring you've done absolutely amazing πŸ˜„ you deserve many more splurge weekends to come .

    Thanks for the tips! <3 I have been horrible since covid-19 started. I can't just OMAD...whenever my kids snack, I will take a bite of this, a pinch of that and there goes my OMAD for that day :( Hopefully, I will do better next week as this Easter long weekend will be very hard for me to resist those yummy chocolates :lol:

    It's okay no worries ,,,, hope it helps 😊 , yha I think it is quite hard when your normal routine changes I'd just try to keep yourself busy or distract yourself , I used to do that but after eating a little snack throughout the day I stopped and then continued my OMAD I then just ate my one meal a day and the snack I chose to eat earlier in the day used as my snack ,,,, I always have my meal and a snack or dessert ,,,, stops me from craving or have future binges πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ ,,,, yha I love chocolate too , I'll probably eat some , you should treat yourself too and get back on it next week and if you need any help or support just know we're all in this together ❀

    I like the delay, don't deny concept. If you want the snack, eat it with your meal. You can have it, but not right now.
