They were celebrating some Asian holiday at my work, and in order not to seem rude and give them "bad luck" I had a few small unidentifiable candy and pastry items. Nothing took more than one bite to eat and I had only three things. I figured I'd mentally write that off as my 100 food calories for the day and carry on. Wrong.
I discovered later via my cell phone that one of them was a "moon cake," or lotus paste bread with egg yolk. One two inch cake is 970 calories and 48g of fat. I wanted to leave right then and there and sprint all the way home to start burning it off. I contemplated excusing myself to the bathroom and forcing it out, but I've never resorted to purging before and I didn't want to start.
Here's an example of what's in the nutritional information box for a typical moon cake:
Per Half Cake, 1'', (Yolk Filling):

Current weight: 152.2lbs / 69.0kgOnce again my lowest and current are the same. [: I screwed up today (read above) but it hasn't hurt me... yet. I've been walking a few miles each day and drinking lots of water. My energy levels are up and I still sleep less.
Eff you, moon cakes, and the horse you rode in on. Yes, moon cakes are capable of mounting cavalry. ]:
