WOW.
I *love* that I just had a normal, delicious burger (and small fries!) and that I don't feel guilty in any way whatsoever.
I planned my meal from earlier today (a horrifying 1030 calories all up - definitely a "treat") but having more than 1200 calories meant that I had plenty of nutritious, filling meals for breakfast and lunch too! And I worked out and don't feel like its all gone down the drain!
This is amazing. I felt like a dirty burger. I got to have the dirty burger because I had the calorie allowance for it. And I don't feel guilty at ALL. THIS is what a lifestyle change feels like! I can still be normal and have the occasional naughty food!

This coming from a confirmed junk food junkie, I love this. It feels so wonderful to hang out with my family and enjoy a "normal" meal with them. So glad you enjoyed! And so glad you didn't feel the least bit guilty.0

I am also going to be enjoying some fast food this evening before I go to Blue Man Group. Happens about once a week (the fast food that is) and I don't feel even a little bit guilty about it.

Nice realization, huh? The other guilt I've let go of is if I'm in a bind and must stop quick for food I don't blow it and get whatever from the fast food place and then feel bad. I will pick one thing (a double hamburger usually...) that is around 400-500 cals and a diet coke and that's it.0
