Had dinner with friends last night and planned on completely blowing the day as I said goodbye to summer here in New England- so I had 2 lobsters, bread, wine, dessert, etc.- my day came in at about 2000 calories! But I've been super diligent for 4 weeks- anyway, after eating all this, my stomach felt so awful! Like a big hard basketball and soooooo full and gross! However, I don't think anyone savored this meal like I did :) Back on track today....

    2000 calories is still a 400 calorie deficit for me most days...

    I wouldn't call 2000 calories overeating for most...I know a lot of women who maintain on more than that. Even if it were over your maintenance, it wouldn't be by much and regardless, one day is pretty meaningless...

    Yeah you're right- it just felt so indulgent after adhering to 1400 calories for the last month- I didn't feel any guilt- I know an occasional splurge here and there is fine.

    Oh I know 2000 calories isn't that crazy- just felt so indulgent after being so diligent, that's all
