Chapter #5The next day by: Jax   After that the night concluded and isobel and her boss headed home. The next day soon arrived and isobel woke up starving. She quickly made her breakfast of oats and went to work. However work didn’t go as she planned after such an awesome day of letting loose all isobel could think about was that amazing food. She had been dieting for months and so finally being able to treat herself showed her what she was denying herself and now she just couldn’t stop thinking of it. As the day went on it only got worse isobel was barely getting anything done just salivating at the thought of eating good food. Unable to take it when dinner time arrived she rapidly went to McDonald’s and ordered a huge lunch. She justified with herself that she had been good for months and one cheat day was hardly a reward and so she should at least get a week to let loose. And with that mind frame she truely did let loose. Wanting to make the most of her week of indulgence or her reward week she called it isobel really went for it.
She started eating maccies 3 times a day, once at breakfast in which she got pancakes and a breakfast McMuffin, then at lunch in which she would order 2 quarter pounders fries a coke and a McFlurry and then once after work, in which she’d get a double Big Mac and coke. She would then go home and order a huge pizza with a cheesy garlic bread to go with it. And these were just the meals all throughout the day isobel was constantly snacking. She would go to the bakery every morning and pick up a dozen of her favourite donuts, munching on them all the way up to lunch in which she would then pick up another dozen after her maccies. Then every night after her pizza she would go to her newly discovered desert bar getting the meal her boss showed her of 6 deep fried mars bars 6 donuts and a mega shake. However everytime she ate them they only got better and isobel just couldn’t get enough each night she was left less satisfied and so her order began to increase each day and by Thursday of the week she was getting a dozen deep fried mars bars, a dozen donuts, a pint of cream and 2 pints of mega shake, which was double the usual. The desert bar was literally isobels favourite treats and she spent all day looking forward to going.
When the weekend finally hit, isobel became quite sad that her reward week was nearly over and so with isobel having a full 2 days off and not being distracted by work she really made the most of it.
She went out early in the morning to a waffle house getting 3 waffles drenched in syrup and polishing them off. Then she went to maccies for her usual breakfast. Then again she went maccies for lunch getting a quarter pounder. The rest of the day was followed by snacks until Saturday night hit and isobel decided to have a full feast for her reward week. She ordered 2 quarter pounders, a double Big Mac, fries and a coke from maccies and then 2 pizzas from her locale pizza place. When the food all arrived and laid in front of her isobel picked up the double Big Mac and took a huge bite. As she ate it tho she came up with an idea and double Big Mac was just essentially two Big Macs put together, and looking at her 2 quarter pounders she had an idea. She finished the Big Mac then picked up the quarter pounder she took the other one and started stacking them on top of each other. She then saw the pizza and thinking why not she slid slices of pizza into the giant burger outing 4 slices under and on top of each patty. The burger looked messy and enormous and isobel found it tricky to hold but as she took it to her mouth and took a huge bite she was amazed at how delicious it was, it was by far the best burger she had ever had and quickly finished it off proud off her creation. After her feast isobel
Then went to the desert bar for deep fried mars bars donuts and a mega shake however today she also ordered a full
cheesecake. As isobel was stuffing the food down feeling her pants get tighter she knew she was probably over doing it but just rationalised that it’s only for one week I deserve this after all that dieting plus it’s not like it’s gunna have that much impact, I may as well make the most of it.
The Sunday after followed the same pattern and finally Monday arrived her reward week was officially over.
However her week of indulgence had had more of an impact then she thought. That entire Monday isobel was starving, she returned to her bland diet food and small portions and it was literally the worse stuff she had ever eaten and it did not come close to filling her, leaving her starving afterwards. Her week of silly indulgence of amazing tasty food had left the bland diet food tasting disgusting in comparison. After eating nothing but tasty meals and delicious food, the plain oats and salads were vile and tasteless. On top of that with isobel completely stuffing her face to the point she could eat no more she didn’t realised what an impact it would have on her appetite her body becoming used to constantly eating meant that now that she stopped she was literally hungry all the time. For the next 2 days isobel was in agony she was so hungry and her mind could not leave the thought of the delicious food from the week before. She was able to stick to her diet food but she was so distracted and hungry that she couldn’t even think of going back to the gym until she got her appetite under control, thinking that exercise would only make her hungrier and she was barely functioning now.
All week all she could hear was her tummy rumbling until Wednesday hit. Isobel was really feeling her hunger as she came into work it was taking all her will power not to go to the maccies next door to finally get something filling however as she walk to her desk her will power was about to be crushed. On her desk was a huge array of chocolate and sweets, isobel confused looked around the office seeing the whole place was full of chocolate and sweets, then as she looked at the walls she realised what day it was. It was Halloween.
Isobel knew she was in trouble and it only took an hour of seeing all her colleagues enjoying the treats for her to finally cave and start snacking on the chocolate. As she plopped it in her mouth she almost fainted it tasted so amazing, her body finally getting what it was craving tingled and she began eating more. After the first chocolate the flood gates were opened and as the day progressed the 3 bowls full of chocolate and sweets were soon demolished by isobel. At that point isobel was saying to herself oh it’s a holiday everyone eats treats on Halloween it would be wrong not to, one day isn’t gonna do any harm. But as the treats soon dried up and isobel found her hand in an empty bowl she was gutted she’d ran out and was still hungry. That’s when she bargained with herself oh well since it’s a holiday and I’ve already not been dieting cause of the sweets I may aswell enjoy the rest of the day. And so isobel was counting down the seconds till her shift finished and when it did she rapidly went to McDonald’s physically excited that she was going to eat something good. She got a massive meal and completely demolished it in minutes, she then rushed to her favourite desert bars and got her usual massive order, with another cheesecake. As isobel got home she was happy to finally feel satisfied.
The following days again were agony for isobel. About 2 weeks passed and she still felt no better always hungry and tired and sick of bland horrible food. It all came to a breaking point mid November on a Friday when isobel was walking home and she got a whiff of something amazing. She turned the corner to see all the Christmas markets, there were tons of stalls full of amazing foods and thousands of of people enjoying eating and drinking and having fun.
As she walk through she could feel her mouth salivating at all the amazing foods until finally she couldn’t take it. She saw an amazing mini Dutch pancake stall and unable to resist bought a tray of 10 mini pancakes drenched in white chocolate. It took isobel only one minute to polish the tray off immediately wanting more. At that point after that one tray of pancakes it completely destroyed isobels will to diet.
“Mmmm omfg this is delicious it’s been so long since I’ve eaten anything this good. I’ll just have one more tray I deserve it after all my hard work and will power recently” isobel thought getting in the que for more.
This became a turning point for isobel her will to diet was completely shattered and all she wanted to do was enjoy herself.
after that isobel went into the holiday season with the mind set of, “oh it’s winter now and the holiday season has started there’s no point dieting now it’s the holidays, it’s Christmas season, no one else will be dieting, plus I’ll miss out on loads of fun parties and events if I’m restricting my self over the Christmas period, there will be tons of stuff on. I can just diet in the new year like everyone else, it can be my resolution, it will be easy to lose weight then, plus it’s not like I’m even gunna put that much weight on. Or any at all. And even if I put on a little so does everyone else this time of year “ Isobel rationalised In her head. And so through the rest of November and December isobel just let go eating and doing whatever she wanted having tons of fun, going to loads of Christmas parties and eating a hell of a lot of food.   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
