So last weekend I had a family gathering. I had a plan. I was going to eat whatever I wanted in a reasonable portion. One plate, no seconds.
The problem is, when my family does get together, the food just keeps coming. Appetizers, salami, cheese, fruit, pasta, burgers, sausage, cake, pie. It doesn’t stop for hours. And we just sit around the food all night. If I remove myself, I’ll be sitting alone because everyone else is around the table.
So what happened? I sat around the table all night. In front of all this food. And just kept eating. And eating. And eating. Every bite was my last bite. When we left, I knew I had gone way overboard. My stomach hurt and my pants were tight. I had that brain fog, a haze over my head. I was lethargic.
I felt a little guilt, a little shame. I considered fasting the following day. But I didn’t. I just kept logging my foods like usual. I ate my 1900 calories like I do almost every day. I decided not to step on the scale since I knew what all the water weight from the salt and carbs would have done. In my head I said, oh great, weeks of progress gone.
And guess what? I still lost weight! I weighed myself the following week and I’m down 2lbs. I’ve got a big smile on my face for persevering and sticking to the recovery plan.
