Okay so a common question I have asked fellow friends and weightloss guru's are what do you do when you splurge or want to splurge? Do you have days where you just say forget it I am eating fries? Answers have ranged but it always goes back to allowing yourself moments where you eat something that isnt perfect so you dont end of freaking out on someone because they are eating a cupcake in front of you kind of situation.
So to avoid that kind of reaction from myself I have taken this under much consideration because for the most part I like to have a very strict diet plan..weightloss plan. For me..a person who has been overweight since I was about 6...thats right i wasnt always fat..there were those 6 years that I was on the thinner side..this girl even had a bikini..boo yah...

So right now as I try to lose my weight..I stick to Monday through Friday I eat super low carb, high protein and watch my calories. Saturday and Sunday I allow myself cheat moments..not the whole day but moments. So if I know I want to cheat for dinner I will eat really good for breakfast and so on. But this allows me to not want to dive into someones plate of pasta... I have liked this ratio. It works for me right now. It may not work for everyone..it may not be the best plan or idea but for a girl who has done it all its working for me now. Does it slow down the pounds...sure..but im still losing and I have my sanity.
It really is awesome to find a plan that works for you. For me I count calories. Its strict...i konw what I cant go past. I also have forced upon myself the rule of low to no carbs during the week. It helps maintain a good blood sugar, I dont feel weighed down and even on the weekends I still wont go eat something insane like a never ending bowl of pasta.
Have I cheated on the weekday and gone ate a burger..yes. I will admit it. Did I regret it afterwards? yes and i rarely regret things. But I didnt beat myself up over it. I came back to work after that non low carb lunch and drank the crap out of some water and decided to work out extra hard that night and keep going. We make mistakes..we arent always perfect..that is something I have had to figure out of my years..I like perfection and control over my life. I cant be perfect all the time..but I can have control about what I eat and how I eat it... SO dont give up..dont beat yourself up over it..but do admit to yourself..own what you did and move on. My cheat was today... My day of drinking water is right now..im chugging my 4th bottle of water as I type this..the workout thats gonna kick my butt and make me miss watching project runway tonight..is tonight! But Im owning my mistake and moving on..tomorrow is another day!
Love ya!
