Don't Cheat!!!

Trust me, it’s not worth it. No matter how good something looks or smells – imagine it coming right back up again. Imagine that flavor. Yeah – I just broke your craving right there didn’t I? Muah haha!

But seriously, I had the flu this weekend and as I started feeling better I justified going off the plan for 2 full days. Just to get my energy back up. I swore that was it. And I wasn’t going to go crazy, just enough to have some toast, saltines, pizza, bread, …oh wait, no, no, no. NOT crazy. The first day off the plan, I truly only ate a half piece of toast, a few saltines and …a half a slice of pizza.

But really, I needed the energy and nourishment to make me feel better. And if I had to taste one more Splenda sweetened nasty packet, I knew it was going to send me right back into my eat, sick, vomit cycle.

Second day off the plan, I finally had an appetite again. I ate some breakfast burrito, another half slice of pizza and… the meatballs off of a Subway sandwich. May I remind you, ‘Don’t cheat, it’s not worth it.’ A few sleepless hours later – it all came right back up. I will never eat a meatball again. Jaaaaaaack nasty!
