Back on the wagon

I'm very proud of something I managed to achieve over the weekend. Now you know my style when I eat junk, I do it royally. When I'm bad with food, I'm REALLY bad. If I eat junk one day or go out or something, then I'll eat rubbish the next day, then the next day, then the next, until it turns into about five days straight gorging on takeaways, chocolate, drinks etc., which then results in lots of headaches and feeling lethargic too.

Now on Saturday, I had a wedding to go to. Even though I tried to be good, I ended up eating about three plates of starters, two main meals and lots of beer. When I woke up on Sunday, I was thinking about all the junk I could eat that day and the fact that I was going food shopping later and the cinema too (Ben and Jerry's!)

Something sensible finally took control of and said 'No, snap out of it. You ate loads of junk yesterday, you enjoyed it, GET OVER IT!!!'

And just like that, I did.

For the first time this year, I managed to have a day of binging which was just that. One day only. Nothing more. Sunday was back to some real, clean, healthy eating. When I stepped on the scales this morning, I was so much better for it. I'm feeling the extra energy too and I'm minus the headaches I get after junk.

I'm hoping I can use wisely and build in one day of 'relaxing' (not too much though!) so I don't go made without chocolate etc. Let's see how it goes.
