The Trough Overfloweth

I can only be good for so long.  I can only resist DQ treats and various other treats for so long.  Then the dam opens and I cram it all in in one day.....or in a very short few hours. 

The trough at work was overflowing with welcome-back cookies, cake, fudge brownies, peanuts, chips, you name it.  I managed to resist until after lunch at which point my stressful day caught up with me.  Then it was excuse after excuse:  "I deserve this brownie; my day was stressful".  Or the "I've been so good, I owe it to myself" excuse. All is fine and dandy until one brownie turns into two brownies turns into 4 brownies turns into a handful of sugar coated cashews.  Ugh. 

Somewhere in there, I thought I would not record it in myfitnesspal, but for some reason made myself do just that.  Had I stopped at just one brownie, I would have been just fine as they weren't that high is calories and totally doable, but before I entered it, I had convinced myself that I was going to sabotage my day.  Had I been a little more "mindful" and entered that first brownie, I would have stopped at that one and not go back for numbers 2, 3, or 4.  Oh yeah, I forgot the peanut M&M raid at my mom's house.  Yes, it was a day of excuses, a day of temptations, and a day of indulging.

However, all is not lost.  I recorded all that food and as it stand right here and now, I am NOT over my calories for today (I haven't had dinner yet).  Not sure if I will have dinner, but even if I DO have dinner, I will have a light dinner.  I will likely go over my calories, but not by much considering the lack of self control I exhibited today.

All that rich food did not sit well in my tummy.  I walked the dogs after work, and nearly had to drop a dookie in the forest!  I was either going to ralph up or squirt out, and I wasn't sure which one it would be or how it would happen.  Thankfully, I was able to keep all fluids inside and now have a horrendous bellyache (which is why I may or may not eat dinner)----a not-so-gentle reminder of why it is not good to over indulge.
