    I guess I see this differently...I don't consider it a failure or a bad day if this happens... its just another day...and I had a bit more than I usually do. I try not to create "failure points" while I am dieting .. it is too easy to beat yourself up if you do. We ALL go over, situations arise and it happens.. I consider it a "treat" and get right back to where I need to be the next day. I think people are far too hard on themselves AND each other....

    Dont worry about it. I just blew mine with a load of pizza. I am going to try my best to salvage what I can by exercising after work but even if I can't exercise it all back. I'll just make sure my deficit is larger tomorrow (or all week if needed).

    You could try setting a weekly calorie goal instead of a daily. This way you can eat lower calories for a few days then splurge on a day. If it balances out to be a deficit you should still lose weight. Some people eat low all week so it takes the pressure off while being out at social gathers on the weekend.

    My advice log it and keep your diary open. For me it helps me control it a bit. I hate logging diasters so I try not having them.

    Me too! Crazy huh! I ate at my mom's and she had some yummy casseroles and very few low cal choices. I tried to use portion control, but who knew these ingredients were all so high calorie. Oh well, like you, I'm going to try to get in an extra workout and hope that helps. Tomorrow, we'll get back up and get on track. Happy fourth! Tomorrow is a "new" day! :)

    I went to dairy queen the other day and even had a mini blizzard and with exercise came in below my calories. And today I plan on eating. I am saving calories so it won't be as bad but if I didn't cheat I would never loose weight i just couldn't do it. And I was way under my calories yesterday. I don't know if that helps but maybe it will. So chin up. :smile:

    YEP!!! Seriously blew it this evening myself but tomorrow is a new day! :wink:

    Good for you! That's happened to me in the past...I would eat whatever and the scale would go down.

    See...It all works out in the end.
