Clarity

I didn't react to Wednesday's overload by cutting back Thursday - Monday.

I just wanted to clarify that statement from my last post.

I didn't mean cutting back as in: "I'm going to have a slice of birthday cake tonight, so I'll cut back a bit this afternoon", or "We were impulsive and stopped for an ice cream cone on our walk, so I'll skip my snack later."

I meant the sort of drastic cutting back that making up for a binge involves. The kind that takes a couple of days, or more, and leaves you feeling deprived and resentful. That used to be my MO in days gone by.

I'm just happy that I didn't go overboard in either direction: indulgence or deprivation. Not saying I won't ever do either, but I didn't this time 'round, so to me it's a NSV.
