Hope everyone had an awesome Easter!
I cannot help but love celebrating the amazing love of our Father and the gift of forgiveness and freedom Jesus gave us on the cross. ^_^
Now... If you are anything like me and you just happen to love food. In particular food that tastes GOOD and also happens to be meat, in my case, *insert food your choice here*. You may have gone a tad overboard yesterday. (Or on any holiday that offers an excuse to abandon all reason and logic and consume your weight in *said food* or die trying.) ;) By "tad" I may or may not mean eating an entire cow worth of burgers and ribs...
Normally I am pretty good at having some of what I like without going crazy, but there are rare occasions when my primitive caveman brain takes over, caution is thrown to the wind and I eat more than my fair share of calories. ***GASP*** The Health/Fitness Coach said WHAT?! Yup, she said she is HUMAN. ;) hahahaha We won't always make the best choices, but we can make the better choices the majority of the time and not completely jeopardize all the work we have done up to the point of what I might call a slight overindulgence. ;)
This is why I say, if you are craving it have a little of it so you won't binge. Regular binging is not only bad for your waistline and your goals, but hard on your body. It is better to go ahead and have some of whatever it is that you just can't stop thinking about than to go all in. If you do have one of these moments/days of eating what you normally wouldn't, don't stress about it. Don't let it derail you completely and become a pattern of bad daily eating. Just pick up where you left off and move forward. Don't beat yourself up. Don't punish yourself. Don't try to "make up for it". Just continue on as if nothing happened. You need to refocus and get back on track and your overall progress won't be permanently harmed by your indulgence. ;)
It isn't a crime to have things you enjoy from time to time. Living a healthy life shouldn't be painful, stressful or depressing. Nor does it mean eternal deprivation. You are allowed to LIVE. Just don't make it your regular eating pattern. :)
