@MadisonMolly2017 - wow, congratulations on your MFP streak! That's over 4 years,. continuously checking in on MFP! Now that's what I call a good habit.

Thank goodness for this group. Yesterday I was about to eat/binge something. I wasn't hungry and I had already reported my three yeses for the day in our thread. I really didn't want to come back and amend it to a pass day, so that stopped me from eating. That's not to say that I didn't eat all the way up to my calorie limit for the day including exercise, but it could have been much worse. So thank you all for the motivation.

Thinking about it this morning, I'm pretty sure I get in these situations when I don't drink enough water. It always corresponds to when I travel either in a car or by plane since I don't always have the convenience of a bathroom nearby.

Pass day #2

We were out for the day – to the theatre – and ate out at our favourite Chinese buffet restaurant in the evening. Impossible to track as I had so many different items. It was delicious as always and I enjoyed the whole day.
I must emphasize that, although I decided not to track my dinner it didn’t mean that I just ate all sorts of rubbish. I had small portions of duck, chicken, beef and lamb and one small pork rib. I chose meat and veg that didn’t look greasy/fatty, wasn’t deep fried (in batter or crumbed), and was sensible with dessert – I had several pieces of fresh melon and pineapple with a small slice of cake while my b/f had several (small) cakes – twice over! Lunch was also just a plain chicken sandwich and I only drank water and black coffee all day. So although I may have been over my usual calories I won’t have derailed the whole week.
Oh, and I did get exercise – a couple hours of walking round the city, over 15,000 steps for the day.
