Hello All,
Am ashamed to say that I cheated last night - I REALLY didn't want to but felt as though I had no choice!
OH and daughter had taken the time to go on to the Cambridge website to look at the add a meal options so that they could cook me a Valentines meal for when I got home from work. They made me chicken, broccoli cauliflower and asparagus - and I have to say it was delicious. Trouble is he didn't take any notice of the portion sizes AND put gravy on it! I had large chicken breast and a plateful of veg.
He also bought me 6 truffles and said he thought I could have 1 a day and as "that won't hurt me" ???. I ate one after my dinner and it was so gorgeous that I knew the exsistance of the remaining ones in my cupboard would be the subject of much torture - so I gave OH and daughter 1 each and ate the other 3 so they were out of the way!
I looked at the packaging (after ) and they contained 150 cals EACH!!!
So - I have blown any hope of weight loss this week and my ketosis comfort blanket is gone. I'm feeling really really hungry. I usually try to hang on for my tetra at work till 2 but only lasted till 12.30 today - mind you I have got someone sitting opposite me eating pie and chips and 2 on the next group of desks eating McDonalds - so I guess is better that I reached for my tetra a little early rather than a handful of chips!
I just feel so disappointed in myself - I really had no choice but to eat the dinner after they had gone to so much effort but I shouldn't have gone on to scoff 600 cals worth of truffles to boot! I could have had my home made mint choc truffles and all 8 of them would have been less cals that 1 of the 4 that I scoffed!
Why, oh why did I do it?? :break_diet:
