What's a poor Weight Watcher like me to do with all of this amazing food at my fingertips???! It's like the indulgent start to my week with a divine dinner at Gary Danko snowballed (or in this case, cream-puffed) into caloric chaos. Because I knew I had already used my flex points on Day 1, was there really any reason to try to make up for it the rest of the week?
In a meeting a while back, I heard someone explain that they only consider their food intake in 15 minute increments. In other words, if they just stuffed half a cheese plate down their throat before dinner, they didn't write off the whole meal, but considered the next 15 minutes to be a clean slate in which to do better. Usually if I have a moment of indulgence, I try to stick to this principle and let go of the mistake quickly in order to move on to the next chance to make a better choice. I try not to fall into the "oh-fuck-it" spiral and get lost in endless abandon.
Not really sure what happened this week, but now that I'm stacked with a fresh plate of points, it's time to start over. In the meantime, I'm pretty excited to hop on the scale and scope the extent of the damage in t-minus 5 hours. NOT.
