This isn't a significant amount of time either for the
diet or the exercise. You've got plenty more left on
this frontier. Opening up new ones will just be a
distraction and an excuse to fail.

You're not evil, but don't do this. Keep the focus
here on these obvious failings before worrying about
borderline stuff that gives you a lot of pleasure for
relatively little cost. Besides, setting a precedent
that excesses like this can be made up for by extreme
deprivations is self revenge and terrible,
self-destructive psychology. What are you going to
give up to justify your next slice?

Don't worry about ramping this up until you've got a
base. If you're doing some exercise and literal nos,
over time, that should be sufficient. Days and a
couple of weeks aren't enough to make a call on this.

Cool it with the pecan pies and you'll see a
difference, trust me. Just give it some time.
