Stuffing

All of these things sound delicious!

Taco Bell and pizza... Sounds delicious!

The other day I felt like doing Japanese food so I had around 3 bowls of ramen (from a restaurant, not instant) and 2 sushi platters each containing around 30 or so pieces then washed it down with some of the broth and a strawberry milkshake

It’s so hard to stop once you start!

Me when I was gaining and regularly stuffing: "I'll eat lighter today. I'll get a hoagie with vegetables."

Me thirty minutes later at Subway: "I'll have two 12 inches on white with meatballs and double mozzarella and a 12 inch turkey and cheese with ranch dressing."

*Wolfs down a whole sub before leaving the parking lot while my belly brushes the steering wheel*

I had my first stuffing in nearly three months Friday night for my birthday. I can't do an all-dayer like I used to (not is this the beginning of a new gain), and I have to watch my salt because I'm a heart patient. I did get pretty full though, and I felt pretty heavy and stretched out.

The birthday dinner was:
- Large chicken, strawberry and walnut salad
- Two XL baked sweet potatoes
- 6 crab cakes
- 1 pound of grilled shrimp
- 6 biscuits
- Family size asparagus
- Large serving of brown mushroom rice
- 1 pint of sugar free caramel ice cream
- 1 sugar free cupcake
- 1 gallon of sugar free tea (to fill any space left!)

It was amazing to feel that tight-as-a-drum feeling in my stomach again, and to get a birthday belly rub while super bloated.

Before dinner weight: 566.8
After dinner weight: 575.4
Weight today: 570.1

Happy Birthday!

Thanks so much! It was a really nice birthday weekend!

Once a month, I have a cheat day. I don't intentionally stuff because of health concerns, but I do eat whatever I want and as much of it as I want, with the caveat that I still watch my sugar. I ate A LOT yesterday, and I indulged in many things I miss, like cheesy mashed potatoes, meatloaf, burgers, and pizzas. Last night, my belly got so tight I couldn't stand to wear pants. Yesterday, I started the day off at 570 and finished at 579.2. This morning, I can tell I'm still bloated, because my cotton shirt is clinging to the top of my gut like Saran wrap, and my belly is peeking out of the bottom. Back to moderation and clean eating now (sighh) but it's nice to have satisfied my appetite!

I know there's health problems involved and all but I can't wait to read about your Thanksgiving "cheat day" this year 😊
