When you get drunk and eat a bunch of chocolate cake at a party...

...but barely regret is because you had such a good time.
Anyone else have these days every now and again? I'm generally very good about tracking what I eat and eating in a deficit but sometimes I just don't care and want to have a day of just fun. I could have gone off the rails a lot more than I did, but I know I won't see any weight gain because it didn't wipe out my weekly deficit.

Regularly...but not with cake...I'm not a cake guy.1

I basically bank calories for this to happen.. Because Jameson becomes my best friend every Friday night.
Even when I don't bank, it's 100% worth it. Unless I have a hangover. Then mistakes were made.3 -
There are plenty of regrettable things you can do when you're drunk. Cake would definitely be the least of my worries.10

I'm usually more of a savoury foods or ice cream person...but my friend bought a really fancy cake from patisserie valerie and I couldn't say no because it looked SO good. And it was, since I don't usually like chocolate cake that much.0 -

Banking the calories is something I'd do during maintenance, but when trying to lose weight I can't bank enough to have a proper night and still consistently lose. So I just lose about a week of loss and live with it. So long as I don't gain it's fine by me.
I do have a horrid hangover today though
so having a maintenance day 1 -

Same here. I guess I should've specified that I will bank exercise calories. Cutting any more daily calories and I might end up killing something. Add Jameson to that and who knows what would happen.
Hope the hangover doesn't last long. If anything, that's the only regrettable thing for me haha.

haha I was on beer, if I'd been on spirits I would have intaken less calories but I just wanted some beer. :P
Trying to be more active to bank for activity calorie. Gym isn't an option for me for expense reason atm...i also just don't like it because I find it incredibly boring. So trying to get into more hiking. Just trying to find some people to hike with as I get anxious going alone, but love the activity itself.0 -

BBQs are great 0 -
I've never been drunk so I can't use it as an excuse for overindulging. I do however sometimes enjoy a high calorie treat that takes me well over my daily goal. Yesterday's dinner was an fine example. I downed an entire large thin crust pizza. Granted mostly veggies on top. (Spinach artichoke mushroom and sausage) It was delicious. I have no regrets. Since I had a few under budget days last week I more or less stayed on target although the sodium is going to make the scale say otherwise for a few days.
No regrets.1 -

No regrets.
We still quite regularly have pizza in our house trying to lose weight. We'll just have half each of a European sized pizza which is about 12" each. And thankfully we only like thin crust so it's lower calorie
bbq chicken is my favourite. 0 -

Don't get me wrong I have pizza fairly often. Just not a whole pie to myself. There isn't anything I don't eat including chocolate cake.

I don't tend to buy/eat dessert at all when trying to lose weight, because the calories just aren't worth it for me. They're a maintenance food for me.0
haha my own fault really, should have drank more water or something in between beers.
