Cheat Day - Eww.

Well, my first cheat in 30 days went allot different than I thought it would..

For starters, I found myself NOT WANTING the food I ate. All day. 

I had to convince myself to eat it, that I would have regrets if I didn't...

Honestly after doing this cheat day, I have decided I won't be doing it again until I go on vacation in June!

All day I have felt disgusting and sick!

Here is what I ate:

 Breakfast: two pancakes

 Lunch: I only ate two of the giant onion rings & about 1/3 of the hamburger & most of the shake. The Hamburger and onion rings were so unapetizing to me I was shocked!

 Deep dish Pizza from my favorite pizza place!

Here is the best part...

I tracked EVERYTHING I ate on My-fitness pal app, and If I ate like I did today EVERYDAY, I would gain 30 pounds in 5 weeks...

THAT MEANS THAT IN ABOUT A MONTH I COULD GAIN BACK THE WEIGHT IT TOOK ME TEN MONTHS TO LOSE!

I thought allot after seeing that about how so many people who know little about nutrition may eat the way I did today on a normal day, and how easy it could be to gain back weight if you lose sight of your goals. 

I wanted today to be a day where I got to feast on forbidden foods.

Instead all I could do all day was think about the harm the food I was eating would do to my body!

I have learned a valuable lesson today, and that lesson is that

I have changed. 

I don't crave sugary and fried foods anymore

I didn't get a "good feeling" from these foods. 

I've grown to prefer gluten free & fresh options

In fact, I might as well start telling people I'm gluten free!!!!

I can't predict the future, but I can tell you that I WILL NOT be participating in a planned cheat day like this again. 

Now if you will excuse me, I have a terrible stomach ache and headache to tend to - (yes, you guessed it - caused by the food I ate today)
