    In... to join the "log and move on bunch" geesh; I ate an entire pizza (personal but still) plus desert one day last week, logged it and kept moving, this week, I have practically no appetite with hardly anything to log, I log what bites I am taking, it happens.

    If you believe in yourself and try hard, any size pizza can be a "personal pizza"... :DB)

    There was a time when I could/would eat a whole pizza... maybe even 2 or 3 if I was hungry. Now I only let myself eat a whole pizza on cheat days. I do not have enough extra time to exercise off a whole pizza.

    Do not cave in to the punishment mentality.
    But I like punishment. I run punishment miles if I think I dogged it on a run or didn't eat how I like to eat... I do punishment sets at the gym if I slack during a workout... guilt is a beautiful thing....

    Ive been on this journey for about 2 weeks, with strict clean eating and no cheats, I was at the movies an hour ago and had a choc bar, I feel so guilty.. Im thinking of skipping dinner! I didnt even enjoy it like i usaully do.

    Chocolate is healthy. Not kidding, it's done wonders for my skin and even removed allergy symptoms. But that's DARK chocolate (it's only really dark if it's over 70% cacoa.) Plus when you eat that it satisfies a sweet tooth and is wayyyy filling.

    Log it and move on. If you still eat as normal, you shouldn't surpass your maintenance calories. And maybe work small treats into your days in moderation, that way you don't feel the need to cheat.

    Eat in moderation. . No you're not screwed, you can have chocolate every day if you work it into your daily caloric goals, and macros. Log it and move on. If you go over your daily goal every now and again so what. This is a lifestyle change not a diet with an end date. Do not give up now, what you can't give up forever. Moderation is key. Clean eating is only a buzz term. Chill enjoy life stay within your calorie goals. You'll lose weight.

    ^This. "Clean eating" isn't responsible for weight loss. Caloric deficit is. "Cheats" or "treats" aren't responsible for weight gain. Excess calories are. Learn to fit the foods you like into your daily intake and drop the guilt.

    I agree!

    Please get some perspective otherwise its going to be a long journey in which you will have a bad relatiosnhip with food. Its a chocolate bar for goodness sake not 100 of them. You can burn 200 calories off with 20 minutes cardio or a 45 minute walk.

    Feeling guilty is pointless. Going without dinner alters your nutrition plan. Just factor the calories in over the week log it and move on. All you need to do long term is keep taking more steps forward than back. Worrying abiout slips is counterproductive, especially something so small.

    If you're feeling super guilty, then go for a run, bike, or swim. I view treats in the week a reason to go further, faster harder.

    that is your problem right there in bold…

    you do not need to eat "clean" to lose weight. Just eat less of the foods that you already eat. And you need to learn that there are no "bad" foods and thinking that eating bad foods should lead to skipping dinner is a one way trip to an unhealthy relationship with the food..

    eat the foods you want, maintain a deficit, and move around more = weight loss….
