True. I feel you , i said i wouldnt buy ben and jerrys again for being too expensive but next thing i know I’ve just ate 1100 calories of pure ice cream heaven lol.

I’ve never had a gym hiatus before so i dont know how long it will take to gain weight back, im assuming this has set me back a month or so in terms of catching up to weight/ strength levels. Maybe more.

Btw I’ve never eaten sushi, roast me :scream:

Mate you must have put your taste buds through the ringer. You don’t like snags, you haven’t eaten sushi… Am I right in saying you don’t like ketchup either??

Annnd shit, another junk-food binge. I’ve really had an appalling last two weeks. Either:
A) I’ve been a slack gumby, or
B) I’ve got wayyyy too much affection for chocolate.

I’m voting A. I know for a fact if I can last 3 weeks without a cheat, 3 months becomes easy, so I’ve just got to not be a spineless mong until February 19th, hopefully I can handle my Birthday Cake (Feb 20) without flying going crazy again.

I nearly did the same in my early 20’s. Minus the roids part. Went to jail instead. Got clean.

Cocaine’s a hell of a drug.

I’m not intimately familiar with Zyzz, but wasn’t he also all about the (other) party drugs? GHB, acid, Ketamine, Molly, shit like that?

Woke up a bit bloated and soft, but can’t weigh because I’m at my dad’s house.

Awesome night at a formal with one of my good friends, but I did get frisky with the sliders at the post

Pretty sure you’re supposed to get frisky with the girls, not the finger food…

I was in a bit of a pickle. I went with their school captain who was also hosting the post who also had her parents there. That basically struck me out with everyone :frowning:
