So i went to the work holiday party last night, went in with the best of intentions, planned on not standing by the food so i wouldn't overeat.... unfortunately even the best laid plans fail.... i went in and started nibbling and trying everything and going for seconds and sometimes thirds... then there was the dessert table.....
In the past, after a night like that, i would just say the hell with it and what's the point and i guess it doesn't matter anymore or i'll restart next week.....HOWEVER today is a new day, i allowed myself to go the party, guilt free, and i had fun and didn't stress... i am back on track today and i can officially say i am in the right frame of mind to lose weight the right way this time

Huh-forget tomorrow? Did you mean forget yesterday? Or have you figured out how to time travel?0 -
good for you. I know the feeling and I am slowly learning not to throw myself down the staircase if I miss a few stairs.0

Good for you!

Go you!!0 -
yes yes! good for you! same thing happened to me: went to a company happy hour on monday planning to just sip on soda water and socialize, and i did good on the water, but then the cheese fries came out and... yeah. so i jumped on the treadmill after and started anew the next morning.0

Good attitude, just stick with it.0

Seriously, one day does NOT make a meaningful difference, unless you let the guilt eat you up. I think your attitude is very health.0

Excellent! See, and THIS is exactly what people mean when they say things like, "I wish I thought like a "skinny" person who eats normally and doesn't stress about food.", or "I wish I could be like so-and-so who eats whatever they want and don't gain weight." It's NOT that they eat whatever they want. It's that they use the balanced approach REGULARLY as you noted in your OP. Make this a habit!0

leooftheyear, that is exactly what I have been doing for years! Saying "f it!" and then going back to bad habits - thing is, each time I do that, I gain even more weight.
So, this time, I stopped myself from thinking one "over-do-it" ruined an entire day/weekend/week...last Friday it happened and I just went home and picked up where I left off telling myself it's ok - now back on track! It's hard though.
Sometimes, I almost feel like I use it as an excuse to "cheat" more you know?

completely agree, one bad meal used to throw off entire days/weeks for me.... i'm so glad that this time i said F**K IT but i'm right back to tracking, the mental thing is so much harder to overcome than the eating & tracking0 -
That's awesome! This is how you get things done! well done to you OP, and thanks for sharing.0
