Alright, so this journey is a learning experience and next in the lesson plan is learning how to splurge responsibly. :o) I believe that it is healthy to splurge occasionally...even once a week. However, the trick is finding the balance between an actual splurge and just justifying eating whatever you want. In hindsight, this weekend was about eating whatever I wanted and justifying it as a splurge. And the scale reflects this decision. But, that's ok. I now know that I can't be trusted yet to splurge without a plan. I will need to plan my splurges. I will need to come up with splurge rules for myself and until I do, I will not be splurging. The same justification I used all weekend to splurge (you've been working so hard, you deserve it) is the same justification I'm now using to not splurge. I deserve to be healthy and not fall back into letting food rule my life. So, here's to a better week!
