Weight Loss Challenge - Week 3 - Day 2 - Lost the Battle, But I’ll Win the War!

Posted in: July to October 2009, Suzanne's Weight Loss Journey, Week 3    |    Be the first to comment!

It was the chips that did me in! Tough little buggers! I told myself I’d only have a few, but…

Last evening, we had some people over for supper. In many ways, I didn’t do too badly: had a tiny bit of potato salad, kept the steak to 2 oz, had some healthy scallops/olive oil. But I could have kept the wine to 1 glass max — and did I really need to eat those chips?!? They were really tasty — but that’s how they get you! Ha! (I’ll be posting an article within the next few weeks about how junk food companies get you wanting more.)

But, no excuses, right?

Now, here’s where things get interesting. Technically, I only went about 200 calories over my calorie deficit goal. Technically, I’m still below the amount of calories I’d need to eat to maintain my weight. BUT, if I add up what I ate over suppertime (from approx. 6:00 - 7:30PM), the total comes to around 875 calories! I know my body didn’t need that many calories in one shot. So, what did my body do, most likely? Used what it needed and then said, “Wow, look at all these extra calories roaming around. I better store that as fat for future use!”

Lost one little battle, but, no worries, I’ll win the war! :-)

Here are the gory details on what I ate:
