Uh Oh just had 2 donuts!

As the title says, I just indulged on two donuts at work today. One was a standard cake donut and the other was a berry filled donut. The old me would take this as today is a "cheat day". But the new mentality I have ( and am also currently forcing myself to do and constantly reminding myself that this is the key to long term sustainability) is its okay to have a treat just work it in. If you go over your calorie limit by a couple hundred even 500 calories for just one day, guess what? nothing happens it doesnt ruin your progress or even prevent you from losing weight. This is something that I have to do in order to live. Limiting myself forever is not realistic or even healthy mentality. But that's the battle in my head.

I've lost close to 90lbs over the last year due to watching what I eat and tracking everything and working out. This would have been the 2nd time I've lost significant amounts of weight and its a constant battle. But this time feels different, better. Like I'm not guilt shaming myself for have a donut or going over my calorie limit as long as I'm not blowing it out of the water like the old me would do, which was exactly what led to me gaining everything back.
