My First Cheat Day

OK, so not really much of a cheat day, but a cheat hour. I had 3 small bowls of chili, a few moderate sized bites of apple pie and 4 or 5 different miniature sized pieces of various chocolate candies. By my personal standards of eating, it was a pittance, but it was so great!

It was a chili cook off contest at my church. I have been faithfully at this diet and eating plan for the past 2 weeks and honestly I was going to totally skip any cheating for the first month even though Francesco has said that it is doable if kept to once every couple of weeks and moderate at the time it is happening. Reality, however had set in and I realized that to keep myself sane, I needed to do a little something to keep me from wanting to jump off a bridge!

So, the deed is done, the food is in me, whether it should be or not. I am just grateful I was able to stop and say "no" to more when I did!
