Day 4/56

Posted on February 27, 2015

What to do in case of a diet cheat?
I had one of those today. A party, a special occasion. How to deal with it?
Well, the way I see it, when you start a diet you can make arrangements around these dates and decide not to go at all. That’s fine but will you do it all the time? Maybe hibernate alone in your home? If this is what you want, great ! By all means do it.
You can chose to go and socialize. If you do that there is a chance that you can not eat anything, or maybe a salad, if that’s an option. And you can drink water. There are people who can chose socializing over water. Chances are though, if you are on a diet, you probably enjoy food and drink.

My personal take on this is: I will eat what I like, enjoy taste and texture of food. Before going to the event I’ll try to keep to the diet but once there I’ll actually enjoy. Drinks… well that should be controlled anyway, right. So there you go! Have fun and only allow yourself to intake whatever you really want.

Here’s the important catch: as soon as you are gone…. get back on track. Something like a party should not trigger you to break the diet the day after and on. Go back to being serious on your commitment the healthy eating.

And the weekend approaches….

The Medifast news: I tried the oatmeal again today and this time it was too dry. So between 4 oz and 6 oz of water, I’ll stick to 5 ounces and it should work well.
