    Have you figured out why you overate/made poor choices? Just because you went out with people to a restaurant doesn't mean you get to free feed. Did you not want to be a wet blanket? (People pleaser) Did you feel you deserved it? (Entitlement) You will continue to have ups and downs in your healthy lifestyle journey but until you get a handle on why you eat the way you do you will always be at the mercy of your emotions. Great decision to reach out to the community. These supportive people here are spot on with the practical aspect. This event should not derail you and you are moving forward with good choices. Don't stop moving forward. Good luck! :smile:

    pretend it was a really special day! It happens now and again that there is a party or something. We can splurge now and then.

    Think of it like this, you are 20 years old. If you live until you are 90, that is 25550 days. 1 day really isn't the end of the world.
    log it, move on.

    I eat over all the time. I figure, that so long as I log it and try to do better the next day, and the day after that and the day after that and just keep going, it's never over. Yes, it makes you feel a bit like a failure, but the fact that you are still here and you *want* to do better is still a win, I think. Logging everything, even the days when you are over, helps show a pattern too - and I've learned a lot about myself that I already knew but didn't truly *see* before now.

    Good luck!

    And tbh I'd advise not having a 'cheat' day at all because that psychology is a road to ruin .. you're basically telling yourself and reinforcing that you are restricting so much you have to cheat

    instead just consider your calorie defecit across the week .. the app has fairly good reports for this that you can set to report on the last rolling 7 days

    you eat more some days you eat less others but you always hit your calorie defecit across those 7 days

    there are no cheats

    there is just a way of life

    and your psyche changes to realise that this is life .. this is manageable.. you can do this and don't need to 'fall off the wagon' or 'cheat' or castigate yourself for having a few hundred extra calories

    Solid advice.

    That does explain why the OP hasn't returned.

    Eat 1800 calories over the next six days! One day does not a lifestyle make (or break).

    yeah so my caloric limit for the day is about 1900 (trying to lose weight) and I ate about 2500. I feel disgusting, does anybody know if that is such a horrible thing? It isn't my cheat day btw...

    So you were 600 calories over

    But you probably had a 500 calorie deficit factored in originally

    so really you have 100 calorie surplus.

    This should delay your weight loss efforts by about 1 day, because this particular day is essentially a wash (no progress towards loss, nor likely gain either).

    It's not over until you quit. Until then it is just a bump in the road.

    Analyze what led up to your bad day, log it, and move on.

    It is only over if you quit trying.

    Seriously? Even if the calorie goal were not set with a deficit factored in, 600 calories is 1/6 pound. So you ate a bit over target. Life goes on. I've had days where I went 1000 calories or more over target. I've still lost 75 pounds.
