Day 367 - Dinner

So for the first time in a year I gave myself permission to have whatever I wanted.  I found that what I really wanted was bread.  Warm hot bread with a touch of butter.  Life is good.    But back to reality is a little harder.

So I ordered everything I wanted, and ate not everything I wanted, but I ate a little of everything.  I know I could have eaten more and more and more, but I did restrain myself, and now I have five days to lose it again.  If I break even this week, that will be really good.

I am having some difficulty adjusting back to eating correctly.  I find that I want to eat more then I usually did before, so it is a struggle these last couple of weeks not to eat too much.

I know that it has to do with the swimming and my body thinks I need more food to compensate, and my head doesn't always win out.

I remember listening to people talk about exercising so they could eat.  I have thought a lot about that and I have to say that I am dieting so I can exercise.  I need to remember that when I want to go off plan.  What is the ultimate goal?  To be thin or be physical?  Def physical.

  1. T3 - you did GREAT at dinner! You took small portions & just ate samples of all & you didn't finish anything (unlike TSH who cleaned his plate & took a couple of bites off yours PLUS both your cornbrea slices - yum!!!)

    You also were WAY MODERATE on the cheese cake.

    I'm in awe & I'm not trying to butter you up for anything.

    Physical is better than thin, but the way you're going, you'll hit BOTH

    Yay LOML!
