When it comes to keeping on track with your goals after you’ve just been gifted ten thousand easter eggs there’s only one rule…
Easter Calories Don’t Count**
**Clearly they do still count but as long as you don’t abuse it you’ll be ok (I’m talking to you guy who just finished a whole bucket of M&M’s in one sitting… Yes I’ve done that before, followed by going out drinking with mates, getting drunk way too quickly and then throwing them all back up later but that’s another story)
But this goes the same with my belief on diet at christmas, birthdays and even when your best friend invited you around to have a beer and watch the footy.
It all goes under the same category
Don’t Be Weird
Don’t be the guy who brings a kitchen scale or his tupperware containers of chicken and broccoli to a get together
Don’t refuse to eat a single chocolate at Easter for fear of getting fat or ruining your diet.
There’s obviously a few exceptions to this rule including such as:
- Having a competition just around the corner that requires you to weigh in under a certain amount
- You have some form of medical condition that requires you to eat a certain way
And that’s about it for reasonable exceptions…
Long game always takes precedence over the short term and one chocolate or off plan meal isn’t going to hurt you as long as you don’t abuse the privilege…
