NSV: Had a cheat meal after two weeks of perfect eating, ate 700 calories over my daily 1,200, feeling like crap... but also really victorious?

I just ate 1,200 calories for dinner alone. Korean fried chicken and ddeokbokki (spicy rice cake things, AKA 1000% carbs), and a 20oz-ish Coke.

I feel like absolute shit physically. But weirdly successful and proud of myself? It's only been two weeks of squeaky clean eating and hitting my 1200 calorie limit each day with exercise, but I noticed that I could not eat as much of this shitty food as I could before! And I actually felt nauseated at the end when I never did before! And the coke tasted 2x sweeter than it did before! And it WASN'T WORTH IT!! I would've rathered to eat a clean meal!

This does so much for me. Sure, I ate over, but I did it purposefully and not out of emotional weakness. In the grand scheme of the week, I wasn't really set back that much. And I learned that my new clean diet IS sustainable. I don't crave chocolate and carbs and sugar like I did before. And now that I indulged, I discovered that it honestly isn't something I'm "deprived of" because in the end, I didn't enjoy it as much as the food I've been eating lately.

I don't know guys. This might be a weird way to react. But I feel a lot better about losing weight now.
