Every weekend, and some days mornings at work. I have candy at work, and I will say I had a huge breakfast so nothing till lunch and then I will eat 12 pieces of hard candy.
I don't care. I used to be disciplined and effed my metabolism or whatever it was. Turns out I still burn a ton of calories and don't gain weight if I eat even 1000 mora calories per day.
So, who cares? I stray all the time.
I called it calorie cycling. It works, it works like nothing has ever worked.

Sounds like you were hungry, OP. I bet you didn't eat a lot when you were sick.
