Shame shame ... diet and period / Vergonhoso vergonhoso... dieta e menstruação

I had chocolate today. There it's out there now. Well better start from the beggining.

This morning I've weighed myself and got the same as yesterday. After the excitement of the milestone yerterday and to grab how consistent it was going BAM in my face to pull me back to reality. I have to admit I was expecting it. First had like 18g of sugar yesterday on those icecreams and then my period started. Bit of science on that:

"When dieting on a period, one of the main reasons why it is hard to see results has to do with the release of progesterone, which gets release prior to menstruation. It is the reason why your skin dries up and you become easily irritated.
Progesterone causes fat to be stored away more aggressively by your body, trapping fluids in your body making dieting almost impossible.
When progesterone is released into your bloodstream, the symptoms of PMS begin to set in making it easy to reject even minor conflict, which may indicate that you need a break and should take some time off from dieting.
Don't let downtime during your period bother you too much. After your period is over, estrogen levels restore balance to your mood and body making it easy to slim down. This is why it is quite advantageous to start dieting hard immediately following your period, the perfect timing change the shape of your body.
Just because a period is not the right time to diet doesn't mean that how you spend your time during your period doesn't make a difference." In http://slism.com/diet/how-to-diet-on-a-period.html 

I thought "right ok so if I am more careful today then maybe tomorrow I'll see something on the scale". Got tea instead of white coffee for breakfast and then my 109 prawn and "pasta" again. While cleaning the kitchen after lunch I found a bar of my favourite chocolate. I knew just there I had to do it I'm too weak to resist chocolate, not while on my period. Looked at the kcal : 600 on 100g which meant I could have 33g to "replace" a snack. I never thought I'd be weighting chocolate ... 36g, 218kcal. Tasted like heaven but it's making me feel soooo guilty :(
