I had my first cheat day

I don’t even know if you can call it that. I was cooking all day for a dinner with my best friend, her husband, and their brand new baby daughter, and as I was tasting as I cooked I realized it wasn’t feasible to log everything today after my breakfast, so I just didn’t. For “lunch” I just nibbled on whatever I was cooking and some fruit, and then for dinner I consciously avoiding logging. I knew whatever I was eating was reasonably healthy, since I had made it and knew what was in it. Chicken tacos, mango salsa, corn salad, and fresh guacamole. Also lemon bars which I ate many of. I stuck to water all day but not as much as I usually drink, and this morning I do feel a little dehydrated.

I was nervous to get on the scale this morning because I didn’t know what to expect, and I’m short and don’t have much wiggle room in the excess calorie department. But. I had lost .8 lb. Thats double what I generally lose every day, and I’m the type to check every day at the same time because I like to know the minor fluctuations.

So after my first “cheat” day I know that long term weight loss is feasible even on days where counting isn’t. I know I need to do the cooking if I’m having company because my mother adds a lot of oil and salt. I know that I have control over myself and definitely won’t eat a whole tray of lemon bars even though I really would like to.
