    Hi! I am really beating myself up emotionally and mentally and need some help. I overate this weekend... a lot. I did well Saturday, as in I stayed within my calories but then on Friday and Sunday (today) I ate horribly. I ate by over 600 calories. The problem is that I have been eating AT MAINTENANCE all month, so I will gain weight. I am so upset and just want to cry and then eat. I have not done either but need some encouragement, or help.
    Thanks!

    3500ish calories are equal to a pound at fat. Did you eat 600+ calories over all or 1200 for the weekend? Still, not a big deal.

    I'm sorry if this comes off as harsh but...You'll NEVER be successful at being healthy if you beat yourself up every time you over eat. As stated before, this will not be the last time you did it. Don't develop an unhealthy relationship with food based on calories. If you're hungry, eat. If you over eat, move more. But beating yourself up over FOOD is opposite of what you should be trying to do on this site...

    ...Be healthy.

    LIFE HAPPENS! Enjoy it. Get back on track and you probably won't gain any weight, worst case go to the gym and sweat it out. 600cal is just over 1/5 of a pound.. there are bigger problems in life to worry about.

    Tomorrow is a new day.

    Seriously, why cry over something that is done and over with?

    Just try again tomorrow. You can do this. :)
