My Mad Moment Sussed Out

In one of my previous entries, I had asked "What does a mad moment look like?" and by jove, I think I've got it! (very thick British accent)

According to the rules set out in this adventure, whenever you have a "mad moment", it will set your weight loss back by 5 days. Not sure of the science behind it but my semi-logical mind tells me that because you have been detoxing your body and the sudden rush of "chemicals" the body is not accustomed to will have an effect on the acceleration of metabolism as a result of the detox. It will slow down the burn that was created because the body is trying to figure out what are all these "new" foreign substances!

There are two versions of a "mad moment":

Version 1

When you pig out and eat with abandon!

Version 2

You don't pig out but at each meal or at each snack you say, "A little bit of this or that won't hurt." And then you keep doing it each time and have a little bit here and a little bit there. As they say, "Sikit-sikit, lama-lama jadi bukit!" Direct translation: "Bit by bit, after awhile it will turn into a hill!" And we go down the slope from there... It all adds up!

The concept of "a little bit won't hurt you" is a lovely reassuring concept, however, I realized that if I'm really serious about seeing results and I've worked so darn hard so far, is to just keep on going and ignore the voice inside my head that says, "a little bit won't hurt you, you've done so well so far!" Uhuh... not when you have another 20-30kg left to go!

I really would like to see the scale move down to 99.1kg please! That would be me hitting my 20kg mark equivalent to my second bag of rice. But because, and I will openly admit that I am human, I've been naughty last week with Version 2 of my mad moment(s), it's not moving fast enough.

So there, I should have been a good student and followed the rules to see results but I guess I needed to do it this way so that I could internalize the lesson faster! Again, not to judge myself or beat myself up, just learn the lesson and move on.

I was good today!
