Ahh thats all very cute, hope you fully enjoyed your comfort day, now its a new day, get back onto the healthy eating track
Its very important to relax and now and again treat yourself to a massage, so good on you BettyBoop, and go get someone to give you a massage after all that exam blitz!
BUT You should never ever be starving, that concerns me. When your body is feeling hungry for too long. Your brain starts to crave for the fattier food if this happens. The biggest fat loss tip and general healthy eating tip is to eat 5 meals a day. Of course same total calories allowance but split into smaller meals. This is a very powerful way to lose weight and healthily. I do 5 meals a deal a day.
Breakfast
Mid Morning
Lunch
Mid Afternoon
Dinner
The mid morning and mid afternoon meals can be smaller meals/snacks. Such as Rice cake and cottage cheese etc or even meal replacement supplements if time is a factor. Dont go more than 3 hours without a meal. And drink plenty of water (or tea!)
Why is this so important? Here's why:
1. Your fat burn metabolism increases so you are burning calories more efficiently.
2. Stops craving for fatty and sugary foods, feeling hungry and therfore prevents over eating.
3. Food digests more efficiently and absorption of all the nutrients.
Through out the day you will feel more energetic, focussed and sharp because your fuelling yourself more efficient.
So please never starve. 7 months ago, put a blueberry muffin or cookie in front of me, and it would be gone so quickly that David Blaine would be asking me for the secret to that wonderous magic trick. But one week into the 5 meal a day routine, put a double decker or choc chip muffin in front of me and I would not budge, I dont crave for it any more because the body has been full filled with the healthy 5 healthy meals a day routine. So dont starve, you just make it more difficult for yourselves to stay on track. And you just cant get to any food for a little while than DRINK WATER, it will suffice for just the time being. And there's no excuse, every office must have a water tank for employees.
On your "comfort day" of the week, relax, have fun, reward yourself and dont think about diet but dont go excessive either!
Have a great weekend everyone!

i think that might be because i practised the Heimlich Manoeuvre and made myself and children laugh somewhat hysterically
