And you know what? I rocked it!
Woke up this morning after a totally diet blowing night of deficit destroying chinese buffet, about 4 plates full of food, followed by about a pint of ice cream from one of those diy machines, and some mini cakes and I'm full of pms bloat. I spent an hour in bed feeling terrible wondering what to do about my first mega pig out in months, pulled my jeans on, couldn't do them up, briefly toyed with going back to bed and crying.
So I womaned up, put the skinny jeans back in the drawer, did my hair, pulled on a baggy tracksuit, ate a light breakfast, dragged my bloated butt outside and unlocked my gym, 25 mins later post treadmill...
My jeans probably won't do up today and maybe I've gained a lb when the bloat goes, who knows. I'm going to eat my planned meals and put it behind me, I am not going to drastically cut my food, over excise or cry and nor should anyone else.
I keep seeing these I've binged and the world has ended threads, yeah, you have messed up your deficit by eating 6000+ calories in an hour but if you beat yourself up your only setting yourself up for misery.
I just wanted to say this as someone who years ago used to avoid leaving the house on "fat days". My weight has been known to go up 11lbs in situations like this and it sucks but I've yet to ever get fat again from one or two bad days....
MORAL OF THE STORY? YOU BINGED DON'T LET IT RUIN YOUR DAY!
