I just blew the whole day! I ate 3 slices of Papa John's pizza. It was thin crust but still I should have looked up calories before I ate! I am usually really strict with what I eat, but I had a tooth pulled today and in ALOT of pain. I asked my husband to get supper and him and my daughter wanted pizza. Tomorrow will be a better day!

    Thats the spirit....you will be good tomorrow, thats all that matters. Today was a cheat day, the key is not to fall off completely and you already have that figured out

    Papa Johns is my favorite of the major pizza company's, so I have no less than 2 slices myself....and I also go with the thin crust as well.

    Keep going strong!!!!

    Occasional "blow it" days are good for you- it confuses your metabolism, so your body doesn't hit the dreaded plateau:flowerforyou:

    Once in awhile its okay to enjoy yourself. Don't feel guilty, or beat yourself up. Hopefully you enjoyed your pizza and tomorrow things will return to good eating and your body will actually return to the healthy stuff easier. Stay with it. One meal won't ruin the many months (or however long) you have been working on this.

    Thanks everyone! I still came in under calories for the day so I guess it wasn't too bad, plus I worked out before going to dentist. So I guess it wasn't a total lose, but I know better!

    Everyone has overeating moments...but why start over again tomorrow? Why not start at the next snack or meal? Starting over the next day for me gives me a whole lotta hours to do damage in!:drinker:

    Tomorrow will be a better day. We didn't gain the weight inone day, we can't take it off in one day. don't make yourself crazy. Try to do some walking toorrow though andmaybe the pizza won't show up on the scale. :flowerforyou:

    I am done eating for the day. I have taken my pain meds and will soon be fast asleep! So tomorrow will have to do, but I have your view any other day!

    Very good point. I had assumed the pizza was for dinner considering thats what time it is for me. But you make a valid point. Enjoy the food and then go back to the healthy side. If you crave something or are going to a place for a dinner plan your other meals accordingly to allow for the splurge. Very good point you made.

    did you blot the grease? Some how i always feel better when i eat pizza if i blot the grease off haha....so instead of consuming 2000 calories i only consume like 1700 haha....the great thing about all this is, is like you said, tomorrow is a new day. Just eat really good the next couple days and watch your carbs and you should be fine:)

    It's all a learning process and I think we've all had our share of "blew it" days. Restaurants or eating out are the worst for me. I've learned to save up some extra calories for the end of the day just in case we end up going out that night. Plus, if it's a chain restaurant, I try to look up their calories before going so I'm a little more prepared.

    Dont worry i blew it today also, i went to a henna party and even though i ate before going i still snacked. But for some reason iam not that disapointed in myself. I made better choices when i snacked so i must be learning something even if it is slowly. Also i think this is the first time i havent thought it was the end of the world when i blew it trying to loose weight. My mind frame instead is okay, not good, and thought about other choices i could have made or what other physical activities i could have done and realize when i get up tomorrow that i will make better choices and i will not fail or quit because of one bad day.
