How pathetic am I?

So my nutritionist has been upping my calories (which is so fun but makes me nervous that Im going to gain weight back!) for the past few months since the wedding. Today he tells me that he wants me to have a cheat meal each week. I can't do it! I don't know what to have! I have been eating so cleanly for such a long time that my 'cheat' food is pretzels!

PIZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

see i can eat soo good for the longest time, and then eat one bad thing and its over for me!

good for you tho for staying motivated!

Its not pathetic at all!!

I'm with you completely-I'm panicked about gaining weight too.

Except I had pasta for dinner...

Ever since we got back from the hm I've been dying to go to the gym, but have been coughing so bad I can't work out.

No gym + pasta = I feel yucky

I'm hoping to get back in by the weekend.

I actually intensified my workouts after the wedding and have been following my nutritionist's plan but his feeling is 'You can't diet forever!' And i know he is right but its such a different mind set!

You can do it.

I was also nuts about staying thin and honestly, I learned that a cheat meal a week helps keep you at bay.

I can eat Taco Bell. fries, chips- whatever as long as it's once a week. You'll be fine.

Do it.... it actually makes you lose weight. I have been on a diet where I did that. Where i ate ridiculously healthy for a month then started a cheat once a week. I got to be the skinniest I ever was and looked great. One week I went out and had a waffle sunday with 5 scoops of ice cream, hot fudge and whipped cream on top. I don't recommend going that far because I felt sick after, but I lost 2 lbs that week. Also it was fun because my mom overheard someone saying, I can't believe she can eat like that and be that thin. It was fun to be that girl.

Oh by the way, I was able to stick to it no problem. Knowing I could have that sweet once a week turned out to be enough for me and I would use it for great things, ice cream, cheese cake, something I really wanted.

I was in college then so it all went sour when the summer was over and I rediscovered beer and liquor.

Your not pathetic at all.. pretzels are gooooood!!!
