Falling off my diet confession...

I have a confession. Maybe after I tell you I will feel better and be able to move on.  Yesterday was a day full of bad eating.

March 8th... started off like any other day. Who would've guessed such a diet crime would be committed...

I woke up. Ready for my day, hungry and ready to eat. I was craving something delicious. Something like granola. YUM! I thought to myself, no granola is so dense in calories, that little bit I will eat could be a lot more delicious healthy oatmeal with some added fixings to enhance its deliciousness.  So I made a bowl of oatmeal with protein powder and some blue berries. It was good, but I still wasn't satisfied.

I thought okay, I'll wait. Maybe my mind hasn't registered as full. Maybe I'll have some coffee. Maybe I'm just tired and craving the sugar. I slurped down my coffee, and waited. All I could think of was, how delicious that granola was, and how I really wanted some. And like most diet crimes, I rationalized eating just a little...

Well I had a little. It was so good! Omg! My long lost love, granola. Oh how I love you. I just wanted to sing and dance with pleasure. So I had a little more. A little granola never hurt anyone, right? This is where it got ugly. "Maybe I'll just have a little more?  Maybe I'll add some milk to it, that will make it so good. Maybe I'll have some blueberries too, omg that would be just divine. So I poured myself a huge bowl. I know what you a thinking, granola, wow, big deal, but no hear me out, this was not just a little granola, this was enough granola to feed a family of 3 with milk and blue berries. I ate enough granola to make me not ever need granola ever. Any more granola and I probably would have turned into a granola oat myself... and then turned around and eaten myself, because granola is just that darn good...aghh... I wish I was exaggerating..

A little bit later, in hopes of getting back on track, I had a snack...

Snack: Apple and mixed nuts

At that point I was doing better, and thought, okay smooth sailing, back on track... right? Wrong!

Lunch: 3, count them 3! peanut butter cookies with milk and small slice of digorno pizza.... Aghhh what is wrong with me?!?! I couldn't stop at one cookie, no I had to eat three. I figured well subway sells them to you 3 for a dollar, so that must be the serving, right? Ughhhh, no, no wrong, wrong, wrong, but yummy, yummy, yummy.

So now in hopes of not vastly exceeding my daily calories to maintain my weight, I had dinner... Luckily by dinner I had finally gotten my head on straight-somewhat.

Dinner: Steamed veggies, and but to follow my apathetic diet mode, I sprinkled some Parmesan cheese on them.... sigh*

:(

Ugh, I hate when this happens. After the eating the cookies, there was a point in my mind where I just though, f*** it, I all ready ruined my diet, might as well eat worse. Has that happened to you? That's such bad thinking. It's like saying okay I dropped my phone, now let me smash it in, drop it in mud, and then maybe submerge it in water.

But what can I say, we are human. We make mistakes. Maybe if we just admitted it, we wouldn't feel so ashamed when it happens and keep on doing it. So now, I hope that after getting it out there, and confessing this to you guys I can carry on with my normal healthy eating and workouts.

Drop me a line and tell me how your are doing. Have you also fallen off your diets? Come out and confess it. No judgement here.  Shout it out, let us know. Maybe if you put it out there, we won't all be trying to hide and pretend we are so perfect.

Honestly, I feel so much better! It felt great. Thanks for listening. Do yourself a favor and confess your diet sins to someone. If you don't want to tell a friend, post it here. We will understand, and then you can move forward. xoxo -c
