You're right. I get into this cycle where I'm really good for a while, exercising and avoiding the treat foods, and then I eventually crack and eat a few things I shouldn't. Then it's like I'm all, "well I've ruined it all now!" instead of just maintaining consistency. I can't remember who said it, but they allowed themselves a small amount of treat food regularly because if they didn't, they'd eventually and inevitably fail their diet in a spectacular way and go on a ravenous treat bingeing rampage. This is an idea I need to adopt I think!

I think that's the way to go.

Consistency really is key because eventually you start only wanting the good food. Because it makes you feel good. It takes a little time to get there but when you do you'll know it.

You get to a point where eating not healthy affects you because you've built up a stronger foundation of health.

I'm what we'll call "gym culture" there is absolutely the cheat day because it's human nature to want something a little sugary or whatever.

It's OK to slip up. But getting back into it as soon as you can I reckon is a good way to go about things.

Enjoy your birthday week without guilt. And when you're ready, you can get back to working towards your goal :)

Might be interesting to check your step counter/watch/whatever in case it reset itself to zero at midday. My boss has a watch thingy that counts his steps and one day he was morally certain he'd done 'enough' only to find that only the steps from midday onward had been counted. Something to do with a 12 hour clock not a 24 hour one. The watch turned out not to be faulty, he'd just set it up on the wrong timing. Worth checking imo. And happy birfday!
