So.. today was a fruit/veggie day. I started my period the day before yesterday.. and the first two days are always the worst for me, also the days I feel most bloated.
My brother is over so I’m constantly cleaning up after him and watching him.. and my dad visited so he could see my brother and I
My dad brought food as usual but he also brought 2 Subway footlongs!
Ahh! Okay so at first I didn’t care.. I cooked my veggie stir-fry, and then I munched on dried fruit (I love the chewiness of dried fruit.. it’s that texture that I missed, and for me it is almost like candy). That being said, I kinda had cravings for sugar-free gummy bears but I don’t have any..
Okay… so I mean it was going good, I definitely had more fruit than I should have because I also had some of the natural fruit juice… but I mean it was early in the day and I drank tons of water…
So for some reason I just.. had to have a taste of the subway sandwich! I put it in the fridge so it was cold.. so.. I put it in the toaster but for too long, and it wasn’t good.. in fact, it didn’t taste that great. Yeah it was okay.. not that great though. I had a little more than half of a six-inch..and took a few bites out of the other one. Really.. it wasn’t worth it. But… I’ve cheated where I’ve had a subway sandwich before and with my experience, it doesn’t affect me on this diet as much as eating chocolate or sugary sweets does.
The point is though.. that for a while, I went back to my old habits where I’d feel like once I cheated I might as well eat other foods too… because the day was ruined anyway. Today… I ate some.. but I’m still massaging my beads and I didn’t go and raid the kitchen (I’m on my period too so that’s nuts!). In fact, I controlled it somewhat. So I’m glad.. because now I can officially say that I’m back, this cheat was still a cheat but not so terrible. I’m pretty sure I even lost a little weight this week because this morning, I had on my clothes and stuff and just decided to step on the scale anyway and my weight said 148. That tells me that without clothes and the water retention, I should definitely lose more this week, and my weight might actually be around 146…
But it’s speculation.. I cheated today so we’ll see.
I’m just glad I didn’t binge and I actually didn’t force myself to finish the whole sandwich because that is how I’m mentally used to… instead.. I just thought.. well there is no harm in me stopping right now, and I’m not FEELING hungry anyway (well because of the beads but still, it’s a mental thing). Also.. last night I got into a fight with my bf, and I didn’t get a lot of sleep (we talked all night) and when I woke up I had crazy cramps… so I’m surprised and pleased with myself to have cheated very little during my period, stress, and my brother being over (he eats a LOT and my parents always get a bunch of food when he’s around). In that sense, I’m a bit relieved.
Anyway..
I’m going to go fill up on more water and then maybe lie down.. (feeling a bit crampy again).
