... it was really underwhelming. I ate all the cheese and dessert I wanted. It felt like I was force-feeding myself because the day would go to waste if I didn't eat all the junk at once, and I didn't even eat that much today! I know this is a really unhealthy mindset, I haven't had a "real" relaxed day of food in 3 months so I ate a bunch of food that honestly didn't taste THAT great and made me feel weird and jittery.
I guess my tastes have changed a lot since my diet/lifestyle change and even though I could tell the food was "good" it didn't really give me that comforting high that it used to. I think having just a bit in moderation every once in a while is a lot better than having 1 day to go balls-to-the-wall crazy on food. That's not to say I haven't had cravings -- I literally dreamed about this day EVERY day since the start of my diet and sometimes my cravings made me want to rip out my own tongue or something, but really, it isn't that great. Eating decently tasty food and feeling great is a lot better IMO than eating junk.
Overall, I think just having a bunch of food freedom at my fingertips was the best part of today, actually eating the food was more of an afterthought. The high that came with planning today was much greater than the execution. Overall I would rate it a 3/10 in terms of fulfillment, where a good day on track is typically a 6.5/10. (It did give me the energy to go out for a run twice today, though, marking the 2nd and 3rd time I've run this year haha, not out of guilt but because all the carbs/sugar/fat/salt made me jittery and I had to burn off the energy somehow!)
