If anyone looks at my food diary today you'd see what an absolute pig I made of myself at Mother's Day brunch today. I haven't eaten like that in years. I don't know what came over me but I'm paying for it now. Sick as a dog! I normally eat a paleo type diet. I'm so ashamed of my weakness!! I'm wondering if I fast tomorrow would it help me get back on track?

Wow, great logging. It's wonderful to try to log all those meals because then you have data, which I find important.
Doesn't seem like you went very far over maintenance, no? That's great. You probably won't lose as much as expected this week, but you had a delicious meal!
I ate like this a few weeks ago. I clocked in at about 4,000 calories for the day. I actually felt really good after eating all that food. And it was easy to get back on track because you know...wow. I just had to after that.0 -
Or can try to makeof for it a little each day. Just becasue you trip doesn't mean you have to take Drastic steps to win the race. To err is human, we all do it, but as long s we don't do it too often, we will loose in the long run.0

I really doubt one day will set you back in your goals. Just eat normally tomorrow and don't worry about it.0

It was a buffet and I tried to remember everything I ate.... I'm sure I missed somethimg. We left the restaurant about 5 hours ago and I still feel sick to my stomach. .. !!0

I've done way worse. You'll be fine.0

How is your calorie goal 1000... I thought 1200 was the lowest MFP would go?
I would just move on and eat normally the rest of the week. Maybe you just won't lose quite as much this week.0 -

If im looking at the right day it was under 2300 calories, which os just one day and nothing to worry about. Dont beat yourself up, ts a waste of time. No idea why you are only on 1000 calories a day though.0

I can't see the diary. 2300 isn't that bad. Is 2300 even above maintenance?

For some, yes.0 -
OP, I was quite the little piggie yesterday and ate poorly today (but at daily calorie limit). I understand...I understand.
Today I didn't even have strenuous actuvity to balance today off. What a naughty little piggie I was.0 -
This is a lifestyle and not a diet. Life comes with special occasion binges.
My diary is closed (I was tired of being accused of ED behavior because my intermittent fasting looks like anorexia plus binging, since it's logged as one large meal per day) but for today, to celebrate mother's day with my wife and both sets of parents, I logged:
Half a pound of bacon
Half an family-sized recipe for pancakes with butter and syrup
1.5 Cadbury candy bars
4 miscellaneous chocolate truffles
A bottle of wine
Caesar salad
Fries with gravy
A Boston Pizza (restaurant) pizza burger - that is a cheeseburger with a bun made of pepperoni pizza
Total of 4000 calories, goal is 1460.
And you know what? Life goes on, tomorrow I'll be back on track, and by next week I'm sure that I'll be down another pound. Even if I gained from today, I'll still be down 50 net.
Eat well for life and you can afford to have the pig out days. You're going to occasionally binge anyways - everyone does - so you might as well enjoy it and not stress too much.0 -
Try to make note of how you feel to remeber for another time you are tempted to overindulge. That is my plan...I well see how it works.0

logging that chit like a baws0

honestly, don't even think/worry about it. it was ONE day; not going to do a thing in terms of 'undoing' your hard work. i had popcorn today at the movies! i'm grain free and i had popcorn AND IT WAS GLORIOUS. do i regret it? NO! it was a mother's day movie date my husband took me on because i've been dying to watch age of ultron. although we watch what we eat regularly, we also need to live!!!!

I ate like a well-fed mother who deserved to be treated to a great meal. We ate at home today but it was fantastic and I don't feel a tad bit guilty. It is also my twins' 11th birthday, so I also had a piece of their Reese's peanut butter ice cream cake. I have no idea if the calories I logged are correct, and I really didn't measure or wiegh anything, it's all logged by eyeball--but I don't care. This is a forever lifestyle change I'm making, so if I go off the deep end once in a while, so be it.
Happy Mother's Day!!0 -
Lots and lots of water tomorrow! Usually those buffet restaurants use tons of salt to make everything taste good!.0
