Speaking from a degree of experience 1 week physically isn’t a huge deal. It’s more about being able to come back to the discipline you’ve already created.

I’ve done the whole “I’m doing double gym to make up for the food I shouldn’t have eaten” and I’ll be honest, it’s not a great way to relate to food.

Enjoy your birthday week, have fun and when it’s over just jump back in where you left off :)

Happy birthday week!!!

You’re right. I get into this cycle where I’m really good for a while, exercising and avoiding the treat foods, and then I eventually crack and eat a few things I shouldn’t. Then it’s like I’m all, “well I’ve ruined it all now!” instead of just maintaining consistency. I can’t remember who said it, but they allowed themselves a small amount of treat food regularly because if they didn’t, they’d eventually and inevitably fail their diet in a spectacular way and go on a ravenous treat bingeing rampage. This is an idea I need to adopt I think!

  I think that’s the way to go.
  
  Consistency really is key because eventually you start only wanting the good food. Because it makes you feel good. It takes a little time to get there but when you do you’ll know it.
  
  You get to a point where eating not healthy affects you because you’ve built up a stronger foundation of health.
  
  I’m what we’ll call “gym culture” there is absolutely the cheat day because it’s human nature to want something a little sugary or whatever.
  
  It’s OK to slip up. But getting back into it as soon as you can I reckon is a good way to go about things.
  
  Enjoy your birthday week without guilt. And when you’re ready, you can get back to working towards your goal :)
