Over the last few weeks I've had a couple of days that I ate things I didn't really need to...the Costco samples got me one day, and almost a whole bag of Candy Corns another day. I used to not track the remainder of the day because I thought I failed for the day. But this time around I've been so diligent in tracking everything...even those days...even when I didn't want to. It turns out that those days really aren't that bad in the grand scheme of things.

    Exactly! Tracking keeps us accountable and helps me makes better choices too! I've been faithfully tracking everything for 17 days now and I love it! I have my bad days too where I'm like, well I really dont wanna put that in cause I don't wanna see the high number of calories I've had for the day but I do it and then just try and do better the next day.

    I chuckled because I'm eating candy corn as I type! lol I did weigh my 1 ounce though and will enter that into mfp. Great job entering all your food! I'm like you were, if I have a bad food day I tend to not enter anything. I must follow your lead!! Thanks for the inspiration!

    well done! i know exactly what that is like... many times in the past i 'gave up' logging a day because i didn't want to see that terrible high number. this time around, i'm doing my best to be honest with myself, because by logging those extra calories, or a whole day that put me quite a bit over, it really can serve as motivation to do better the next day. and it also allows me to go back and look at my previous entries when the weight is not coming off like i hope it is, and see a true analysis of where i might need to make some changes. but like you said - in the grand scheme of things, it's often not as bad as we think it is. :)

    keep it up!! :)

    Oh man, those Costco samples always get me, I never track them and then, like you, give up for the rest of the day. I mean, someone should make a calculator for that "How many calories in ___ samples"!
