This last week has seen a worrying trend emerge, and then stop. Early in the week I started to gain weight, instead of lose it. It wasn't much, and only added up to about an extra kilo over the course of the week, but it was worrying anyway.
The cause of the weight gain, as far as I can tell, was simply the fact that I indulged in one chocolate bar at work each day. I wouldn't have thought that one chocolate bar would have caused so much of a problem, but it did. I think the problem was compounded by my lack of activity caused by the bad weather last week.
The worst part is that the effects of just one chocolate a day didn't stop at the weight gain. I found that each day I was suffering from cravings, and was surprisingly lethargic. What was meant to be a small indulgence on one day at work quickly turned into a vicious cycle.
Fortunately I was able to get back on track over the weekend, and I'm back to losing weight again. Still, this was a very good reminder to me that even something as apparently harmless as a small indulgence can lead to problems. It will be much easier for me in the future to stick to primal foods if I want any form of indulgence, maybe a small amount of dark chocolate would be a better idea.
