    It happens. Nothing to be done about it now. Hydrate well tomorrow, hit the gym extra,and eat as well as you can for the rest of the week. Metabolisms work over a week, not over night. :)

    eh... you won't be able to get homemade all the time right, so enjoy a fresh batch ... and it's only what 2lbs (ish) (3500kals/lbs) or something like that..

    I think the better question is ...

    when can we expect the box with the rest of them to reach the MPF lounge.?? :bigsmile:

    There are approximately 300 calories in each one. Only you can decide if it was/is worth it. However many you actually ate.

    Holly Hell thats alot of calories! I honestly dont think i could enjoy eating even one of those. The guilt and thought of running for 30 minutes would depress me.

    I already feel like crap :3 ... Never thought the sum of calories would go that high, I didn't even feel half full, they were like bite size.

    stop feeling guilty.

    it happens.

    At some point it will happen again.

    About once a month or every other month- we got to an all you can eat steak place. Believe you me- I eat about 1-2000 calories OVER where I am supposed to be.

    Meh. Whatever- I go back to being super rigid with the diet- I go right up to my limit of calories or under and that's it.

    it's life- it happens.
    Stop feeling guilty for enjoying a sweet delicious pastry dessert.

    Thanks, every one, for your help and support. Seriously, you already made me feel a lot better!
    And the truth is, I don't want to ruin how good they tasted with all the stress and guilt! :D

    Good luck to you all, wish you guys all the best.

    Dude... homemade baklava? No need to feel guilty about that.

    When it is legitimate GOOD food, I never feel guilty if I hit it hard. Now if you eat some crap like 12 cans of Pringles, then maybe you should sit in the corner and feel bad, but otherwise, just move on.

    19yr old skinny marathon runners don't have functional calorie limits.

    If it makes you feel physically sick, don't do it. If you feel physically fine, don't worry about it.

    Functional calorie limits? Probably not. But 19 year old boys become middle aged men. It's always good to start getting a handle on how you eat and how you fuel your body. Never too young to do that, imho.

    gah, 25 baklava? I LOVE baklava, but 25? gah...
