Last night, much to my dismay, I totally went off diet. It wasn’t intentional because up to the time I was scheduled to go home, I had been sticking with diet plan and had planned on sticking right to it for the rest of the night. I learned, when I left work, that my mom decided to invite everyone (brothers, sister-in-laws, niece) over for a birthday celebration for my brothers and sister. She had been trying to arrange a get-together for the longest time now but finally something had been agreed upon. We had steak, baked potatoes, corn, fried pickles and dinner rolls. I was starving by the time I arrived home and dipped into the fried pickles and grated cheese as well as take a scoop or two of the chocolate icing from my sister’s birthday cake. By the time we actually ate, it was around 8 p.m. and to be honest I really wasn’t as hungry as I was earlier that evening. Now, dessert is another story. My mom bought a ice cream cake from Dairy Queen along with baking a chcolate cake for my sister. My sister-in-law brought a cheesecake she had fixed for my brother(whose birthday was on Tuesday). And again to be perfectly honest, I had a little bit of everything. I normally love cheesecake but to me the cheesecake wasn’t that great. I ate it anyway. I loved the ice cream cake and the chocolate cake was okay as well.
Was it worth it, in the end? Probably not, since I really didn’t get much enjoyment out of eating those desserts. To make matters worse, today was weigh in day. Even though I pigged out last night, I still managed to lose .8 lbs. I am sort of disappointed because I had weighed myself earlier this week and had been down several pounds since last Friday. But at least I didn’t gain any weight. It just makes me sick that I slow myself down by doing stupid things like I did last night.
