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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    There are plenty of regrettable things you can do when you're drunk. Cake would definitely be the least of my worries.

    haha very true, thankfully I don't do bad things when drunk.

    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. :lol:

    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.

    I'd feel happier if I didn't feel nauseous as hell :disappointed: haha my own fault really, should have drank more water or something in between beers.

    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.

    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 :p bbq chicken is my favourite.

    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.
