Have you ever had to go to a social event and tried to stay under your caloric intake? Yeah, me too. My family has gatherings constantly and we like to have more dessert then salads. It is so hard for me to focus on eating better and having exact portions of food when I'm with my family. Last night I had that problem. I LITERALLY had a bowl of chocolate in my lap that my mom had to take away. I ate so much chocolate if you squeezed me it would probably come out of my pores. But I know that because I had one bad day of eating that I ruined everything. And to be honest sometimes your body needs it. Your mind needs it. You need to take a break from eating clean for too long. That's what I did yesterday. Im not going to beat myself up about it at all. If this was a year ago, I'd have probably starved myself. Not literally, but I would make sure I was extremely low on calories for a few days. I was so scared of gaining weight again that I tried to keep it off so unhealthy. Now that I've learned to love food and how much good, food can do for your body and overall progress on your journey, I've learned to be ok with over eating once in a while. No, I don't like to make it a habit, but once or twice a month, I'm ok with it. Also, after eating like I've did yesterday, I feel like my body naturally will work harder. I'm not sure if it's psychological or not, but I was sore right after my spin class today.
