NSV trifecta!!!!

Options
This is a HUGE deal for me...I have been up the last 3 nights with my baby and then up all day with only a couple hours of sleep in the morning, it hasn't been good. Thursday night I kind of "fell off the wagon," I was so tired that I think I started eating to replace sleep and I ate quite a bit. The difference from every other time that my diets have failed in the past or that I have gained weight when I wasn't dieting is this: I snacked all night, but they were all healthy choices and I still measured my food. Even so I felt horrible about eating so much...I had a snack every 1-3 hours that I was up. In the past I would have either tried to forget it happened or just feel like a total failure and give up, neither of those things happened. I still logged everything that I ate and I never felt like giving up. It turns out that even though I ate about a thousand calories during my binge, I genuinely was not that hungry during the rest of the day and it balanced out where I was only 100 calories over my goals, so not as bad as I thought it would be.
If this had happened during past attempts at improving my lifestyle I know that I would have given up, instead I feel renewed and even more motivated to succeed!!
