Uhhg. I ate double my calorie goal today. I am 10 days in and have been doing well, I didn't want to look at today/admit today, but I also didn't want to break my recording streak just because it was a "bad" day. So I wrote it...as bad as it was.

    I think that's the best thing you can do when you derail! Tomorrow you'll get back on track.

    It is good, you logged it. Lies you tell yourself are worse than lies you tell other people. Good luck staying on track tomorrow. :)

    Always log it. One day is just a tiny blip on your weight loss journey.

    Log it and keep going. Was it just a high calorie meal or have you been too restrictive and binged? 10 days in is when you're still learning an may need to make adjustments.

    ^This. May or May not apply to your case: I'm only 5 weeks in, but for the first 3 1/2 weeks I had a very aggressive goal - and was beating it! Was miserable, grumpy, and started binging & going way over calorie goal and gaining back. Adjusted my calorie goal to a more reasonable and sustainable one. Felt better, felt better about myself (for "succeeding" & not failing), and the weight has started coming back off.

    Great job about being honest with yourself, but also recommend re-evaluating your goal "pace" and remember it's a marathon, not a sprint.
