Day 32. My Bad!

Hum, I have a tiny confession to make… today I’ve been a bit of a bad boy, basically I ate something which was on the Atkins naughty list. It all came about when my dad bought me a Chocolate Easter Egg (with 2 x Snickers bars attached). My dad gave me this a few days ago obviously as an pre Easter present. I tried to resist not eating it, but when it’s in front of you and you walk past it daily, it's kind of difficult to ignore, so am sure you can imagine what happened next… :oS

So yup, I ended up munching on a snickers bar, it was very nice too ;o) Now normally I wouldn’t break my diet or even buy such things, EXCUSE TIME --> but as I’ve lost a lot of weight and its Easter time, and its coming up to 6 weeks of being on Atkins now <-- EXCUSE OVER - I thought what the hell, why not :oP Plus it was really starting to drive me nuts, salivating and not being able to eat it.

Some of you clever boffins may have noticed that I only ate one bar, and probably did the math, and are wondering what happened to the rest of my Chocolate delight. Well I managed not to eat the rest of it and the reason for this is, that I’m planning a splurge day very soon. Now for the people who don’t know what a splurge is, it’s basically a time you pick to vent your High Carb cravings. Now for some people this might not be a good idea to do, but for me I don’t think it will cause me to deviate from my plan… and am sure it will help me to stay focused on my future goals.

So what does a splurge consist of??? Well basically it’s a time you plan a meal, just one sitting where you can eat anything you want and as much as like, including desert. You can hear more about this idea from Jimmy & Catherine’s video found below:

Now some people would say this is cheating or could be a detrimental idea. But you know what, for some this might just be, but on the flip side, I kind of see this as a good reward and a motivator to keep me more focused and committed :o) Plus it was a gift, so hence…

After eating my snickers bar I don’t feel so guilty, and up until now I have committed 100% to my plan with amazing lweight oss results ;o) So just to let you guys and gals know, I’m planning to eat the rest of my Easter egg and snickers bar over the next couple of days and perhaps go out for a meal with my family, so don’t be to alarmed over my intentions of the sheer amount of net carbs consumed :o) Besides it’s a gift and its Easter, so Happy Festivities :oP
