The hoagie wasn't worthy of a cheat meal last night. It's driving me nuts that when I have a cheat meal, it really doesn't taste good anymore. I have 3 lbs of retained water this morning. I can feel it in my fingers, around my eyes, around my stomach, my feet, and even in my throat! Soooo not worth it. I think even if I found something that tasted good, it probably wouldn't be worth it because of how I feel the next day.
I'm hard-headed, so it will take a while for this to really sink in...I can't eat processed food anymore. Can't enjoy it and truthfully... I don't enjoy it. Most of it tastes like salt and grease. My stomach starts to churn while I'm eating processed foods. And what it does to me in the morning...well, it's not good. I'm pretty sure I've journaled about this once before-almost word for word as a matter of fact. Yeah, hard-headed, that's me. :-(
I want to plan extra, super-healthy meals this week since turkey day will be here in no time and my cousin doesn't make any of the choices on that day remotely healthy. As Joe said, it's one meal, but I see this morning how one meal can make me feel. Good think I don't like turkey day leftovers. I'm thinking next week, one meal for Matt and I will be enough cause he may have turkey day leftovers.
Anyway, I know my water retention will be gone by end of today, as long as I drink plenty of water, get some exercise-even if it's just cleaning and doing laundry for constant movement, and eat clean today.
