After a Christmas, I stopped counting my calories every day. I only did a full day of counting maybe 2 days a week. I bought food that I can’t be trusted with in the house (chips). I also binged a few times on some old candy we had hiding in the cupboard (and it was so not worth it).
I lost 70lbs since March of 2019, but then since xmas, I’ve gained about 15lbs back. I’ll lose one or 2 lbs and then gain it back immediately. Especially because my old nemesis (fast food) popped back into my life recently with the excuse that I’ve been too busy to cook.
Last week, I stopped getting on the scale because I didn’t want to see the number after yet another fast food dinner the night before. I told myself I was going to start eating better and weigh myself in a week.
I didn’t eat better.
And then on Sunday, I saw a movie at the theater and ate an entire medium buttered popcorn, a box of chewy candy and 2 other “share size” bags of chocolate candy. Then I ate my regular dinner and then had cookies for dessert.
It was the most volume of food I’ve eaten in forever.
You guys. I felt sick. Like about to barf sick. I filled my stomach to it’s limit and then some.
I could barely sleep. I woke up with terrible heartburn. And I’ve felt like absolute garbage all day. In fact I’ve been sitting around all day because i have the worst indigestion, still.
And then this evening, I realized that I used to eat like this ALL the time. Constant fast food meals that were 1200 calories or more, twice a day. Plus candy and chips and just whatever I wanted.
When I eat to that extreme now, my body apparently rebels.
So it was a little wake up call. I’m back to counting my calories today and I’ll step on the scale tomorrow and every day after so I can keep myself accountable. I’m not looking forward to seeing my weight, but it’s time to get back on track.
If you’ve fallen off track like me, let’s get back on that horse!!
