"I regret eating that"

Stilllosing26

Do you ever eat something, and then get mad at yourself for wasting calories on it? Or did you overeat something? If so, what?

StaciMarie1974

Honestly? Not really. I plan ahead and make choices. Sometimes I choose to have a maintenance day where I don't aim for a 500 calorie deficit. And some days, I move more to make up for it.

I eat what I want. Doesn't mean I pig out, and I still think things thru. I have a bag of chewy spree on my desk right now - not yet opened. Will probably have some this afternoon. Had a caramel chew this morning already. And that will fit into my 1400-1600 today, no problem. (Total on the candy today will be ~100.)

I only feel that way if the food isn't good. Otherwise, nope! I love and enjoy food because I make sure not to blow my deficiency.

GiveMeCoffee

No, because I only eat things I enjoy. I try to preplan so I can hit my nutritional needs and calorie goals, but if I go over it's all good

MissMissle

YES! But Im trying to not get mad because really it just makes the situation worse... but recently I've had a mocha latte, some jelly beans, and a snickers peanut butter egg - all of which I got pissed at myself for because I either went over my calories, or didn't leave myself enough for the yummi dinner I made!

"So I wont' eat another today and maybe (just maybe) the next day, now I forgive myself"
end of story
go on with your life
every once in a while is good to eat just a bit more!
I eat something I want everyday (I kid you not! whether is a cookie or a piece of chocolate etc etc) I just try not to double it (like eat the whole package and stuff) keeps me ok and out of stress

Not usually, but I have a method... I have the BF taste it first and ask him if it's worth it. If it sucks, I win. If it's way too delicious and I won't be able to control myself, he'll probably tell me it sucks anyway so he can "take one for the team" and eat it all. Another win (for my calorie bank anyway).

But seriously... If I don't care for something, I don't eat it. The only time I think my calories are really a waste is when I eat something that isn't as filling as I'd expected.

This doesn't happen for me very often, but sure it has happened once in awhile. Usually it is a restaurant item that I choose, and then kind of regret it because there's another item I liked better in the past. For example, I took my dad out for lunch and I planned to get my usual small plain sushi roll and then at the last minute I switched to a chicken dish that was just meh, and had higher calories and sodium than the sushi. I didn't go crazy eating that but next time I'll get sushi instead.

Not so much a "oh no, I binged and regret it!" as a choice that I make and wouldn't make again.

msf74

Yes, those melt in the middle chocolate pudding things.

About 600 calories for this tiny pot which didn't taste all that great.

I was outraged...

never regret

Do you ever eat something, and then get mad at yourself for wasting calories on it? Or did you overeat something? If so, what?

No this has never happened to me. I cook all my own food and only prepare what I like. I have to practice portion control, but even if I would not, I would not think I had wasted calories. I would only realize I had eaten too much.

a_stronger_me13

Usually I only regret overeating. There's been a few times that I've settled for a lesser version of something I was really wanting to eat, like a crappy hamburger instead of getting a better one and I've regretted that because it usually isn't nearly as satiating, IMO.

Cheeseburgers are my weakness. I can NOT say no to those juicy little morsels of cheesy meaty goodness. /arlghlarlarl... (those are Homer drooling noises)

p_s1984

All the Chili Cheese chips I ate last night But, I forgive myself. Less carbs and more protein today

BarbieAS

Once in awhile. I try to pre-plan as much as possible and then thoroughly enjoy the moments that are either not pre-planned or are pre-planned to take me over my goal . Once in a blue moon, I'll find myself in a situation where I eat something that takes me over my goals for the day (or doesn't leave me room for an adequate rest of the day) but I could have made a better choice (calorie/macro-wise), and it just doesn't taste good enough to be worth it. Those things I do tend to regret.

If you know your gonna regret it that badly, why eat it.
Plus eating one bad thing is not going to ruin your progress at all.
If it bothers you that badly just work it off. Like a walk or jog later on.

tomwatso

A piece of cheesecake. So many calories. So much sodium.

SoDamnHungry

Only if it tastes like crap.

Strokingdiction

I regret not eating things. Sometimes I put my leftovers in the fridge and then forget about them. I hate wasting tasty food.

PJPrimrose

Yes, I'm one of the unofficial taste testers of local gluten free foods along with a friend that also has celiac.

OMGERD there is some nasty, overpriced gluten free,taste free, weird textured crap out there! Bah! I end up wasting money, too.

rml_16

Anything that is a lot of calories but doesn't taste good, I regret. Just not worth it.

4daluvof_candice

I used to before I understood calories in/out.:ohwell:

Now :happy: I eat what I want, as long as I dont go over my current maintenace calorie intake of 2278 & keep up with my exercise routine.

BrainyBurro

oatmeal.

Oatmeal requires milk, sugar and butter. Period. Though you might could get away with milk, sugar, cinnamon and peanut butter.

I gag whenever people talk about making it with water.

Last night I ate Something called a Caca Oaxaca Burger which is beef and chorizo mixed together to form a delicious burger patty, topped with melty queso fresco, a fried egg, fresh pico de gallo, avocado, and a tabasco mayo.

I regret nothing...

I did, however, end up regretting that scoop of coffee ice cream though because that burger was too filling...


Edited to add: In all seriousness, I feel that way whenever I eat potato chips... I can't stop myself from eating the whole bag, my self control sucks when it comes to chips. They are not filling enough for the amount of calories wasted on them and I do often regret that I ate them...

BlueBombers

No. I enjoy all foods.

Edit. I only regret eating something if it makes me sick afterwards.

amberj32

I'm not really sure if it was a total regret. I ate a banana crumb muffin last night. It only had 175 calories but it wasn't as good as I hoped. Maybe just disappointed. I could have had something a lot better with those calories.

I regret eating celery. I mean seriously, what is even the point of bothering to move your jaw up and down with that stuff.
