Stopped myself mid binge

Started eating healthier two weeks ago. 1500 calories Monday - Friday, and 2000 calories on Saturday and Sunday. Not being so restricted on the weekend really helps me (or so I thought). I lost about 3 pounds the first week, but, despite tracking religiously, I only lost 0.2 lbs last week. I was feeling pretty defeated and had a “why am I even trying attitude” when I woke up this morning.

I got an air fryer recently, and I just basically created my own enormous appetizer platter: mini corn dogs, onion rings, fries, pizza rolls, and mozz sticks. Accompanied by all the sauces. I got about half way through it, and I stopped myself and ate a California roll that I had left over from dinner last night instead.

I still feel terrible about it, but I’m not going to let it defeat me. I logged 1200 calories in to LoseIt, and I guess the damage isn’t as bad as it could have been. If I hadn’t stopped myself and made the healthier choice, I’d be looking at over 2500. I’ve got 800 calories left for dinner, and I’m going to have a delicious, healthy, non greasy dinner. I’m actually excited for it.

I haven’t been on this sub long, but I’m really grateful for it. Before, I’d have had to hold this guilt inside. Here, I can share it, get it off my chest, and move on with my journey.
