Jared and I managed our first week of healthy eating. It was tough at times, and I felt famished at certain points in the day,  but we pushed through.

We then had our cheat day that was not as intense as we thought it would be. We didn’t go overboard.

And today we were supposed to go back to the healthy eating.

But then there was this cake

It was the Doctor’s birthday party (happy birthday doctor) and this magical cake was presented to her.

It’s a four layered red velvet cake with special chocolates from My Sugar on top.

So we made an exception for it, and ate cake even though it wasn’t part of our diet

Exceptions

I think the useful thing about allowing exceptions like this is that it doesn’t make you feel trapped. We didn’t have to stick to the diet super strictly. And I also didn’t feel guilty about having cake.

Building good habits is tough, so allowing yourself some room for the exceptions is important. As long as the exceptions don’t become the norm.
