Lot's of food for thought here Nic! Some really good things! You are focusing, you are tracking in MFP (love that tool!), you are taking accountability and you are working out and drinking your water. You point out that eating "real food" is a goal of yours. So the question I really want you to ask yourself is did the snickers and cheese-its actually make you feel better? And then how did you feel "going off the rails?" Would you have felt better had you chosen a healthy alternative and do you think that would have avoided the rail issue? I have this concept of WEC - Worth Every Calorie! I believe in balance and that indulgences are part of a balanced life. Homemade ice cream on the beach? WEC A few glasses of wine with dear friends? WEC Now apply cheese-its and snickers to that equation - no judgement here at all (believe me I have had my share of both snickers and cheese-its!!!) - for you are they WEC? If not, next time take a few deep breaths and just really think about whether or not it is worth it for you and if it will meet the need you have at the moment (which likely has nothing to do with food!) and what you want to be able to say about it in your blog next week. Just something to think about...
