Recovery's Hard

Who knew, right?
Was voracious yesterday and ate three full meals, plus snacks, and, like, a lot of brownies.
(A LOT.)
(Like eight brownies.)
(SO MANY BROWNIES.)
(I just could not get through this chocolate craving.)

Felt disgusting all last night (and still feel a little gross today) because I ate so much while being pretty much confined to bed.
Didn't weigh myself yesterday, not going to weigh myself today, not going to weigh myself again for a while.
(I say that now.)
(Right now "a while" feels like it should be weeks.)
(I give myself until Sunday until I cave.)

But guys? I ate brownies and lots of other food yesterday and even though I can feel and see it sitting in my lower belly, not fully digested yet... when I flex I can still see my little baby 2-pack abs.
So that's the thing to recognize today: one day of eating more than a normal human while doing no activity didn't make me magically gain layers and layers of fat overnight. (Shocking, right?)
So eating the same amount as a normal human while doing lots of activity shouldn't make that happen either. Hmm. Fascinating. Will attempt to follow through with this hypothesis and report back.

Strength and love,

    also i don't understand how you can have a chocolate craving for brownies but then that's just me. i eat chocolate on a regular basis.
    today i had the hugest ice-cream craving so i ate 500 calories of it.
    this is me being normal. oops.
    yesssssssssssssss.
    omg i weigh in every day i cant understand how people can go without weeks or months without weighing! power to them
    also i love you

  2. I love the little realizations like that. When we realize we're not actually going to gain 10lbs of fat overnight by eating like a normal human being, that's a beautiful feeling. Stay strong and keep fighting little soldier <3 xx
