Why is the day after cheat day so hard :( Why is the day after cheat day so hard :(

I’ve been going a month strong with calorie restriction, logging everything I’m consuming down to the tablespoon. Yesterday was an unplanned cheat day because my boyfriend bought me fast food as a suprise. Would have probably been my entire days worth of calories so I decided to enjoy the day.

The day after is so hard. All I can think about is food. This whole month I’ve been disciplined without much effort, but today is so hard.

A few months ago I was in a similar situation. It was so bad after the first cheat day that it turned into a cheat week and I lost all my progress.

How do I deal with this. I want to still enjoy cheat days, but it really just takes one to throw me off.
