How did I navigate Christmas while being in a fat loss phase? Simple, I ate whatever I wanted on the 24th and 25th then went straight back to my plan.

I am currently in a fat loss phase after competing in my powerlifting competition on Dec 1st where I was 93.3kg on the morning of the comp. I am going to get down to 88.0kg and a more comfortable body fat level before I increase my calories again in the lead up to my next competition.
I have been eating 3000 calories per day since the 2nd of December and between the 2nd and the 24th I went from 93.3kg to 90.1kg, so a 3kg drop in 3 weeks, not bad. On the 24th and 25th I ate whatever I wanted, and I think my calories would have been around 5000-6000 on those two days, yes I ate a lot. For 3 days after the 25th I dropped my calories to 2500, as I knew my calories were way higher over the past few days (I didn’t track calories) and am now back at 3000 per day. I will admit that on boxing day, after two days of eating whatever I wanted and as much as I wanted and more, the temptation to get stuck into the chocolates and treats was definitely high, but I had a plan and that plan only included two days of indulgence, so that was that. It really is just about discipline and self control. People will try and sugar coat it and come up with crazy plans or complicated formulas, just keep it simple and stick to the plan.
