    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.

    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.

    Why would it all be over? It's one day out of the rest of your life.

    Log it and move on, use today as a lesson learned.

    You can't change what's in the past - it's done...so just move on. Pick up where you left off and keep on keeping on. We ALL have our days of cheats. You're only human. So don't beat yourself up - just pick yourself off, dust yourself off and start all over all again (well actually don't start all over - just pick up from where you left off :wink: )

    Yep, the world is ending and you'll be 600 lbs when you wake up tomorrow.

    Come on, 2500 calories? Weak. I had two 5,000 calorie days in a row a couple of months ago. I ended up gaining a pound, as I expected I would. So I ate double what you ate, twice, and only gained a pound.

    Of course it's not "all over." There's no need to make a drama out of it. You went 600 calories over. I doubt you'll gain anything that will show up on a scale aside from some potential water retention that will go in a day or two.

    Just move on.

    Yes. Yes it is all over. Especially if you continue to be so dramatic about it! It is fine - log it, move on to tomorrow! :D Always learn from your mistakes.
