You feel grumpy, fat, bloated, hungry, bored, sad, frustrated, nothing’s happening, your boyfriend dumped you, the cat got run over or you’re just plain unmotivated, so who’s calling your name? Oh, the cookie monster!!!! Yeah the friend you never want in the life is here ready to take you by storm! So, what’s holding you back? It’s the perfect day for it: it’s raining! It’s sunday! It’s labor day? It’s “I got nothing to do and I am alone!”, you, the fridge, all there alone…Anything can happen. Someone planted a big fat Häagen-Dazs in your fridge, it’s meant to be you and the bowl and spoon…MMMMM…. Oh, but wait. Before you go there, are you sure you want to feel like:
Your abs are gone, your belly jiggles, you’re so fat you feel like you got triple chin on the side of your chins over night, you cannot button your pants, the loose pants are tights, your ankles are so swollen they look like your grandma’s, your skinny pants only come up to your knees, walking is so much harder, your legs are stiff, you cannot squat deep cause there is a stiffness in your joints from all the goodies, your muscles won’t be visible for days, you don’t want to see your cholesterol right now after all the bacon and cheese, you don’t want to go train so you miss workouts, you look so puffy in your face it’s like you had restylane put in mega doses ALL OVER your face, you feel like you’re jiggling around, your ass is double size from yesterday.
Now, feeling that crappy, the odds are: you’re gonna have even worse cravings and go for a second cheat day cause you already messed up so bad, you don’t want to go work out because why, why, WHY when you just undid your hard work? The normal good food will feel a lot more bland. You just sabotaged your planning for a clean good refeed day. You worked so hard for this, then regained it feels like everything was for nothing… Oh sigh…. Well, maybe it’s better not to cheat, right? Hang in there! Tomorrow is a better day!!!
