Ok, so I have been very dedicated to mfp for 12 days now and I was eating really really well for those days, but last night I finally let my self eat what I wanted and yes I went over my calories which I have never done. I ate 1600 calories!!!! I know this sounds really funny right!!! I am celebrating having a horrible calorie day/night!! But do you know that after I ate that many calories I realized how much it wasn't worth it!! I am excited to say that I can have a bad day now and again but I really don't see any need to. Yeah for me!!! Has anyone else ever experienced that?

    We need to have those days...a 1600 day is awesome and won't hurt you at all...and it does teach you when it is worth it and when it isn't....About 2 weeks ago I went over on a meal I usually really enjoy but I wasn't enjoying it as I was aggravated with our service blh blah balh....yesterday at a family party I am sure I was over but I enjoyed each treat to its fullest and I don't feel bad at all...f you re going to go over...IMO you should make it a point to enjoy every tiny taste...eat slow and really appreciate what you are eating.

    Yup sure have!! :)) It's great isn't it? It's okay to change things up for your body once in awhile, shock your system a little. I feel much cleaner & healthier when I eat right though. Those bad days that I have also make me realize that.
  • I guess your right!! But I was so used to making sure I wasn't eating too much it was weird just letting myself indulge!!!!! I kept thinking "I really shouldn't be eating this!"""! Of well I am back on track today and thanks for letting me know I am not that weird!!!
