Story Time!

So I had my binge/cheat day... Best and worst day of my life. I loved it because I could eat anything guilt-free and it was just heavenly. The worst of it came later when I had eaten so much that my body wasn't used to it. I am pretty sure after my 10pm dinner at Olive Garden I went into a sort of a carb/insulin shock. It was one of the scariest things I had ever experienced. I had just about finished my plate then I somehow told myself I should to stop. Within seconds, a sudden painful urge to go to the bathroom hit me. I was in excruciating pain for about 15 minutes straight. Legit thought my stomach was tearing itself apart from the inside out, screaming at me (nice visual, eh? :P). It passed just barely enough so that I could go back outside and attempt to sit in the car on the way home. I could hardly breath (I literally felt like an obese person who just ran up 3 flights of stairs), I kept gasping for air and tiny, little gas bubbles kept coming up my throat (basically it was indigestion times 20). About 10 minutes later it all subsided and all I wanted to do was curl up into a ball and crash until the next morning. I didn't fall asleep and instead I walked around my room with my shirt off strutting my bloated, disgusting gut that I created from all the binging haha. I ended the night with one of my favorite candy bars and crashed about 2 hours later.


Here's a list of everything I ate Saturday:
(First) Breakfast-
     2 Eggs
     Bacon
     Beans
     Corn
     Grapefruit
(Second) Breakfast-
      Apple Cinnamon Scone
      Half Oatmeal Raisin Cookie
      Half Chocolate Chip Cookie
      2 Bruegger's Bagles
Lunch-
      Slice of Pepp. Pizza
      Fried Chicken Wrap in White Wrap
      Snickers Bar
      Twix Bar
Snack-
     2 Soup Crackers
     Green Tea
Dinner-
     Olive Garden:
            (2 breadsticks, bowl of salad, lunch size shrimp alfredo with parm cheese)
Snack-
     Nutrageous Candy Bar (king size)


Needless to say - mission accomplished, haha. Can you believe I could stomach all that? I can't! I'd say I probably had over 6,000 calories. Next Saturday I definitely will not be eating that much. Also, I was really regimented with this first binging and I think next Saturday I need to just enjoy it more - especially since I'll be in NYC. I'll just eat like a normal person who is not on a diet, increasing the frequency, and decreasing portion size instead.

I took pictures of me, before and after binging, and I can definitely see that I had eaten a lot that day. But the troubling aspect is that it doesn't seem to look as if I lost much body fat within the 48 hours post binge... Did I eat too much? It seems damn near impossible considering the point of the cheat day is to eat as much as I want and as often as I want. So I'll be speaking to my trainer tonight during my one-on-one with him to see what he thinks.

 Also, I'll be posting either later tonight or tomorrow about the program that I'm on and what exactly it is and what it requires. I guess I should have done that a while ago, haha oh well.
