had a minor life event that really distracted me the past few days. ate well, but didnt log. so mad at myself for not taking the time but it was a medical issue with a dear friend who needed me by her side. getting back on track today.

    Life happens, and being there for your friend is far more important than tracking food.

    Don't look at it as a derailment - we're in this for life, right? Stuff happens - illness, holidays, jury duty, vacations, birthdays - roll with it. You'll be fine.

    I'm glad you were able to be there for your friend! :smile:

    Nope. Don't feel bad. Life happens. Things come up. Now, get back on track! No need to feel bad!

    I wouldn't worry about it. Once you've been eating at a calorie level for a while, you can usually judge with some degree of accuracy how much you are eating without logging every single thing.

    There are sometimes when losing weight just takes a back seat, and that's totally ok. There's no expiration dates on your goals.
