    1397 cals, pretty proud of myself. I lost weight the next day as well.

    What about having fun on a holiday...y so serious
    It's not about being strong...it's about enjoying life. You know, the special occasions.
    Not everyone needs to eat a lot of food to have fun with their family on holidays.

    Nor does anyone need to judge those who choose to.

    Well, looks like this is another one of those 'validation' threads.
    To everyone who DID manage to not go crazy over 4th of July - congrats. You're the strong ones.
    You remind me of the story of Artemis and Apollo. Artemis chastised Apollo for his immoderate behavior as hypocritical of someone who preaches moderation. His reply was, "I preach moderation in all things, including moderation in moderation."

    Holy crap, dude! My highest day since I started tracking 2.5 years ago was about 4500 and I was struggling to even hit that.

    Person A and B both get $600 a month in spending money.

    Person A spends $20 per day each day on toys.

    Person B spends $10 per day on toys and at the end of the month spends the other $300 on a big ticket toy.

    Clearly person A is the "strong" one and person B is doing it wrong. Right guise?

    It may not have been a "lot of food", it could have just been high calorie foods. I did my best to balance out my week so that I could have that high calorie day. I lost weight yesterday and this morning too. Even with being well over what it would take for me to maintain on that one day.

    Holidays, birthdays, parties, etc are all easier for me (with all the high calorie foods) if I balance things by the week. It's what I did last year through Thanksgiving, Christmas, and all the birthdays/parties that time of year. I lost weight just fine, because my average intake still came out to be right about what it should have even if I had high/low days.

    2200. I brought a tomato salad and a fruit salad and ate obscene amounts of those.
