This was TOTALLY me today. All day I felt irritable with the world. I just had one of those days where it felt like I should have never left the house. I felt hungry ALL day. I felt like I thought about eating food 98% of my day. I thought about candy and melted cheese several as if they were a mirage and I was in the Sahara. 
I have to say that while I never ate any candy, I did eat at Taco Bell tonight. 710 calories worth, you know I checked. So it’s true. I’m not perfect nor should you ever imagine that I am. Everybody needs to just eat the meal they are dying for, within reason, sometimes. Everything in moderation of course. **Footnote: I ate Taco Bell after going to Body Rock class at the gym where I was pretty sure my triceps were just going to melt away. I mean seriously, how many push ups does a girl need in her life? How many squats is too many squats? Are you sure that’s not going to kill me? I hear Frankie saying somewhere: It won’t kill you. You can do another! NAMASTE!
To be clear: other than usual work stress I am not going through some sort of emotional trauma. I just have normal woman-hate-the-world-syndrome. But today I just couldn’t make a better choice and I think that’s ok too. Sometimes life just happens. Since I know how many calories I burn in a Frankie Class, I know how many I can eat. Granted, I also have to account for the high sodium content. I believe that as long as I’m being honest with myself about where I am and my choices, it will be moot. Now this isn’t about forgiving my poor choices like they don’t matter or reasoning with myself because I feel guilty. When I have a takeout meal nowadays, I’ve already made sure that I’ve balanced it with something else. I’ll always wish I ate less fast processed food no matter if I do once a year.
During my weight loss journey over the last 16 months (holy cow, really?!?) I feel like I have: 1. Decreased my fast food intake by 70 – 80%, 2. Figured out what to eat when I DO eat fast food, 3. Understand the pit falls and errors when eating fast food. (Possible future blog? Look for it.) So while I do wish I never had the craving for fast food, it’s inevitable for me. And if you have a problem with the hunger beast who is quiet for the first time all day, you can deal with her.
