Cheating in small doses

So I woke up extra early today, since I wasn't able to sleep well and my body was just craving junk. I wanted a free set burger, some large fries! Spivey chicken sandwiches! I kept telling myself no and no. And thought of my Goal. Sexy red Dress. Hokey Pokey. TICKLE BEAST STAMINA! No greasy food.

It was starting to bother me when I remember something the EX husband said to me once. Cheat in small doses. Instead of a Burger. Make a BLT, use a large Roll, add extra Bacon. Give into the craving but not entirely.
loopholes baby.

So I caved and I went to The Crack. (Jack In The Box) I was craving something greasy and remembered they have Egg roles. It's fried but it's veggies. And thy have that chicken bowl. Boom.
bruh! I ate two egg rolls and I was stuffed.
what the hell happened? I could polish off 10 easily. Now I can't even handle 2?!
I have to admit I'm pretty happy that I got full right away and it satisfied that craving.

Now fast food sounds gross. As punishment to myself I have done 3 five minute videos before I did my calisthenics. I found a new one under five minutes. And I'm finding I'm not getting as achey.
For lunch I plan to have the Chicken Teriyaki Bowl. Rice is filling it has veggies and that chicken. I won't use the sauce because it's too sweet and I just got my A1C done and it has been jumping around.

Sexy red Dress. Sexy red dress

@LunixAlive That is actually a good idea. It is something many nutritionists advise too - to have cheat days but consume that food in small amounts so as to give in to your craving but not wholly. I too have been craving for some pizza and other junk food since the past couple of days and I am so glad I was reminded of this.

@ListenLitany I've been using my diet coach and it's been great to type in something I'm craving to see the calories and it measures my intake and sets my reminders. Totally recommend it!
