It’s my birthday!

Today, I ate 450 calories over my maintenance and I couldn’t care less.

I had a steak dinner, with onions, mushrooms, and a loaded baked potato and a slice of chocolate cake for dessert. All of the food tasted so good and I am now resting on my couch with a super full stomach, excited to back to eating healthy tomorrow.

I think this can be a good lesson for a lot of people on here. You don’t have to be “good” 100% of the time. You can have a huge dinner, you can eat a slice of cake, and you can go over calories and you don’t have to feel bad.

Turn eating healthy into a lifestyle you enjoy just as much as overeating. Food tastes better. Your body won’t hurt all the time.

I eat anything I want, but I eat it in moderation. I’ll eat popcorn, or an unhealthy dinner, or whatever else I feel like eating. I just have to understand what a reasonable portion size is for me.

Dieting is easy when you don’t do it because you hate yourself. If you hate yourself for the amount of food you eat, the way you look, or that fact you fell off the wagon you will never lose weight. Eat better because you decided you want better for yourself, and realize that it’s okay to be “bad” every once in a while. Hell, maybe it’s even a good thing to screw up every now and again.

Stop hating yourself. You don’t deserve it.
