Please Don't Make This Mistake!
Today, I'm locked in, during Christmas however, I was not.
Below are two images, the first one is what I ate today (Sunday 28.12.25)
and the other image is what I ate on Christmas (Thursday 25.12.25)
As you can see, there is a MAJOR difference between the quality and quantity of food.
Today, I ate a lot less, volume wise, calorie wise and bad quality food wise.
On Christmas, I tweaked out, I let loose, perhaps let myself go.
The truth is, during holidays and special events, you shouldn't be so strict on yourself,
Because if you are, like I was, you end up "tweaking out".
Today I ate 1500~ calories, and I feel amazing, I did 500 calories worth on the stair master, I did 12,000 steps today, a very productive day with regards to eating and burning calories.
Christmas day was anything but productive.
I slept over at my parents house, and I went out for a long walk after binge eating 5000+ calories on Christmas Eve. I went on this walk to "burn off" yesterdays massacre, and to distract myself from the insane amount of tasty foods readily available for me. After this walk, I felt an itch, hunger.
I said to myself, let me just eat a load of lettuce and add in some low calorie fish salsa dish, this'll fill me up. Then I had some dessert, an apple, some coffee, Christmas cake and some Krowka.
(side note, this Krowka cake is amazing, Polish people know, but if you don't know about it, I highly recommend you try it, truly one of my favorites)
Anyways,
I went to Church, then after I went to play some football with my younger brother.
During our training session, I felt full, I didn't need to eat anymore...but I did.
I came home and had another plate full of food, fish, beans, bigos, a recipe for disaster (farts).
Surely that's it Dominik, you can't fit anymore food in,
You're wrong.
Then it was time for my second plate of dessert, like 4 plates of food wasn't enough.
Oh, what's that a fifth plate?
But Dominik, you're LITERALLY not hungry, in fact, you're going to explode.
nah, I don't think so.
To absolutely kill any progress that I have made over the last few months, I finished off with another plate of dessert, and then I proceeded to eat even more cake out of the tray from the fridge.
I won't lie, I'm very embarrassed to write this out.
I'm here trying to teach you guys, how to be a "Fit Footballer" when I'm eating like Prime Matt Stonie.
The truth is, these crazy tweak out days aren't common, but when they do happen, they're really bad.
The reason it got as bad as it did, was because I was trying too hard to stay disciplined, when sometimes it simply isn't possible.
Environment is everything, maybe I shouldn't have slept over, maybe I'm not strong enough to reject food, maybe maybe maybe.
All I know is this, I analyzed why I ate what I ate and I now have a different game plan for how to eat during the holidays. I eat once a day, no breakfast, just one meal / eating window a day.
This may not work for you, but it works for me, your body craves structure, with regards to routine, sleep, eating and everything else in fact.
TL:DR
Don't be too strict on yourself because sometimes it will work against you and you will undo months of progress for a few seconds of dopamine, remember, working towards your goal is always more rewarding than temporary dopamine.
