Binge
Okay, so when I am frustrated, sad, upset, stressed, or bored, I eat. That's the reason why I gained bar weight. That's the reason why I am on this diet. It's also the reason why I binged a bit last night after yesterday's fantabulous news from the EEOC.
::sigh::
I know I was bad, but I figured that one binge wouldn't kill me after being good for so long. I don't know if it will or not, but it was a happy thing. I felt full and satisfied and slightly guilty. A good binge.
What substance did I abuse? A green tea frappaccino and half a brownie from you-know-who.
As binges go, I thought afterwards that it really was the perfect little binge -- it hit the spot well (didn't leave me wanting), and I didn't go too crazy or overboard. It was a controlled binge. And all in all, not too bad -- or so I thought until I looked up the nutrition facts online today.
Holy mother of gxd. What did I do?

And the brownie was tiny! I had two bites! So, even divided by two, those numbers are truly scary. And more than cool and refreshing and yummy, those frappaccinos will pack on the pounds. I mean, one drink is the caloric equivalent of a small meal. Yikes. I had a meal through one drink and two bites of a brownie...
Well, now I have even more incentive to work-out this weekend. And those numbers are scary enough to keep me from doing that again -- so they won't affect my B number.
Ugh-ly.
