Week 4 - Day 6

I cheated today. I found out some really crappy news about my financial situation and it just really upset me so, I turned to some comfort fast food. I feel guilty but at the same time, I still made a kind of healthier decision and I was more than full after eating what I ate. Now, I don't condone cheating and being an 'emotional eater' because that is a bad habit to have but this has really be my first big slip in the past 4 weeks. It's not something I do every day and it's not something I plan on doing every time I get upsetting news. I know I'll get stronger with time and be able to turn to a healthier comfort food... like peanut butter or carrots.

I planned the rest of my foods around my slip up so I still remained within my calorie limit for the day. I do commend myself for being able to recognize what I can and cannot have due to the slip.

Now most people wouldn't understand why I would admit such a bad slip, but to me... this blog is me discussing the highs AND lows of my weight loss. Not just talking about all the pretty moments, but discussing the ugly moments, too. I don't want to lie to my readers and even more important, I don't want to lie to myself by pretending it never happened. I know I may not have a lot of people who read this blog but that's fine. In the end, I'm doing this for myself, and after the three months, I want to be able to look back and re-evaluate to make my plan even better for the next 30lbs.

Thank you, readers, for forgiving my slip and more importantly, thank you to my future self who will read back on this and forgive me as well.

Much love to all

Day 6 is history, 1 more day and then weigh in on Monday
