Today was a real off day. Things never seemed to click at any point. I mentally could not get things on track. Looking at the scale tick up another .2 lbs in the wrong direction was a frustrating way to start the day.
Breakfast was ho-hum. I started thinking about pizza by 9 am and feeling bad about it. I called my wife around lunch time and explained how my day was going. She, oddly enough, was feeling the same way. So, up went the white flag. Dinner would be pizza at Brewer's Cafe (Barley's Casino and Brew Co.) tonight. We also had a Groupon that was expiring soon. I skipped lunch, partly due to food indecision paralysis (where to eat, what to eat, when to eat, etc.) and partly to save the calories for dinner. Tonight was my first binge. It's the worst day on the diet since I started, and I felt bad about it from the start. I knew I had to get back on the rails the next day and not let this thing spiral.
Overall, I didn't get too far out of line (who am I kidding?). I skipped lunch, not a good thing for metabolism, but I saved calories there. I only ate two slices of pizza (far less than I used to eat on a regular basis.) I didn't want to order the onion rings, but my wife wanted to order them ("for our son" ). So I wound up eating half of those. I only drank water, but finished the meal with bread puddling and a scoop of ice cream on top. I really fell off the wagon. I felt out of control.
