Recovery Diet

It's interesting to read about your experience and I see that my dieting is not so different. Sometimes I just love to eat some sweets, eg I got a serenata chocolate box for valentine's day... I just ate one piece of it and shared the rest with my friends. I was happy, they were happy... it was ok after all :)

@ Charmaine and Laarni: I just don't do these cheats (this big, I mean) often. I don't force myself to skip meals either...if I feel hungry, I'll eat something light, but I'd never starve myself. I learned my lesson, because when I used to do so, I'd suffer from gas.

And it also helps that my family chooses to get a few dessert items and then we just share...and I make my two brothers eat most of it. We all love to eat too, but we also try to keep it in check.

@ Jana: Because we know that carbs make you full easily at buffets, and you want more room for the more expensive stuff (beef, lamb, salmon, tuna, duck foie gras....) 

I'm going to pick up 12 mini-cakes this next long weekend from a Deal Grocer deal I got, uh-oh!

that's the best part Jana. having a bf around :) hehe (mainggit ba raw ako?) oh well, Christmas is just around the corner... hehe

I just weighed myself and I'm 101 lbs, which is not bad considering the amount of alcohol and fried food I've consumed over the past few days. I've also eaten at Escolta and Circles (both buffets) but had minimal carbs during both meals (as if it makes a difference)

If its any consolation, I worked out on Monday and thats about it. Having my boyfriend around makes my life 10x more unhealthier.

Get well soon, Gisa! We miss you already...

Anyway, glad that you can still visit us here at BT. hehehe =)

@ terry: Wow what a great weekend with great food and Jason Mraz! Hindi halatang malakas ka kumain :D

As for me, I didn't get to "cheat" so much during the long weekend because I'm mostly asleep (hello 10 hours of snooze time!). But I felt too lazy and sluggish so yesterday I went to the gym.

Oh my, Vic!

All those food without gaining weight? How I wish I can eat that much also without adding digits on the scale. (nakakainggit!) hehehe :)

I am currently paying for all my excessive whatever over the long weekend sick in bed. :(

Does not having an apetite count as a natural way of losing (again)? hehehe! hopefully when i have an apetite again, i will go back to eating regularly and well. *fingers crossed*

The few days before the long weekend, I was already being cautious of my diet, knowing what was coming up ahead!

Saturday:

I treated my family at Circles for my parents' wedding anniversary. I had an embarrassing amount of foie gras (to get my money's worth hehe), lamb chops, prime rib, Yorkshire pudding, barbecued beef and pork, grilled vegetables (kunwari lang), salmon sashimi, red wine, crème brûlée, chocolate tart, chocolate mousse, crystal tart, chocolate chip cookie passed under the chocolate fountain, mango crepe with chocolate and crème anglaise, ube ice cream, and coffee.

Sunday:

Chicken sandwich (without mayo) and crisscut fries from Burger King (fast food ), then I had a large toffee milk tea with pudding from Gong Cha. (This is possibly the only place where I'll get a large drink.) And then purple yam cake and concorde. Buffalo wings for dinner, and when I came home from the Jason Mraz concert, I had a brownie as my midnight snack.

Monday

Met my friends at Old Swiss Inn, where we had cheese fondue, and I had vegetable roesti, which was fried potatoes covered in gruyere cheese. I had red wine again. Then we went to the Peninsula Lobby, where I had a wonderful chocolate crunch (all by myself!), coffee, and some of my friends'  chocolate fondue. I also took home a peanut butter cupcake and chocolate chip cookie that I shared with my family. Later that night, we shared dessert again (Mango Royale from Kitchen's Best) and then I ate too many Cheetos at the cemetery. But I resisted my brothers' 3 a.m Jollibee craving, so I just sat and watched while they ate.

Tuesday

I was supposed to start avoiding dessert, but I had a handful of peanut butter M&M's.

Wednesday

I had Cheetos again before dinnertime. But I was able to resist grabbing dessert by brushing my teeth right away. And I went to Barre3 class again.

For the rest of the week, I'll be avoiding dessert and limiting my refined carbs too. For this next weekend, I'm hoping to just stay at home so I won't be faced with any temptation.
