So today was Christmas Eve and both my parents had the say off. We went to go finalize the deal on my car (I got a 2011 Urban Titanium with Beige Interior Honda Civic LX..Holla!) and afterwards we went to go eat at an Indian Buffet that was near the dealership. Seeing all that yummy food I was so tempted to cheat just a little bit. One of my favorite Indian dishes is Pav Bhaji and I couldn't resist the temptation. Pav Bhaju is an Indian take on Sloppy Joe's made with all sorts of vegetables paired with a bun. I had just one tiny little piece of bun which was better than if I wasn't on this diet because then I would for sure had 3 or 4. That was my first cheat of the day. I mostly ate Chili Chicken and all the subzis at the buffet. They were good and all but I still missed my naan and rice that I would normally have ate. In my mind, I kept thinking that this is only a temporary thing for a few months.
At the end my mom was claiming how good the desert was so I had to try a little piece. I only had 1/2 of the Gulab Jamun when if I wasnt on this diet I would probably have like a whole one, so I guess theres improvement there. The buffet was so filling that it accounted for my breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
After 10 hours of not eating, I started getting hungry. My sister and I decided to make a salad with our favorite dressing, Balsamic Vinegar. I also had my leftover Espresso custard from yesterday. I paired this with a glass of warm milk with a sprinkle of brown sugar. I also had some spiced peanuts my mom made.
Recap of Day 4: A not so good day accompanied by many cheats. =/ Oh well, I did pretty well considering it is the holidays and unhealthy eating is expected.
