I have one huge motivation for preventing myself from eating like an unsupervised toddler: THE BLOAT
I'm in the middle of one right now and it feels like a bad one. This past Friday I weighed myself at 146. Sunday I spent the day apple picking which involved a lot of walking but also involved:
A chestnut praline latte
A caramel apple latte
A 1/2 an apple turnover
1/2 a tri tip sandwich
1/2 a pulled pork sandwich
A side of apple slaw
1/2 a piece of apple cobbler with cheddar cheese
1/2 a piece of apple pie
1/2 a pumpkin cinnamon roll
Bruschetta on baguette
Dark chocolate raspberry spread on a shortbread cookie
Grapes
Apples
A shot of rye whiskey in some fresh-pressed cider
I honestly didn't realize how much this came out to until I wrote it down just now. I'm not sure how I'm not catatonic from all of the sugar. But I do know that three days later I am now weighing in at 151lbs. Everything feels bigger: my belly, my sides, my bras even feel too small.
While I know in my head that it's impossible that I ate a surplus of 14,000cals and that I'll likely be back down to 146-148 in the next few days, feeling bloaty and gross the past few days was NOT worth it one bit.
It was a good reminder going into the holidays to stay mindful and to really consider what I'm putting in my body. It's amazing how many of these little snacks, bites, and tastes can add up and I know that will only get worse the farther we get into the season. Don't be like me, avoid the bloat, and keep on making good choices everyone.
