Just lost all control

I don't know what just happened but I lost all control and totally just hinged on bread and munster cheese. I love munster cheese. It is 10am and I have 200 cals left. I will get back on track but I feel awful for giving in to the munster. But I refuse to let this spiral out of control. Feel better now that I got that out.

Pick yourself back up and get to moving! Move it and lose it!0

Just a blip. Have a workout to balance the splurge (not a binge, a splurge) and just right back in the game. You can do it!0

What's munster cheese?
Cheese is my downfall as well, I daren't have any in the house. My favourite all-time snack is cheese on toast, and I just can't eat that amount of calories now.
At least you logged it and you've posted on here - now get back on track and feed the rest of the cheese to the birds.

It happens to all of us! You caught it before it got out of hand. Tomorrow will be a better day! 0

I find if i work out extra hard it relieves some of the guilt. :flowerforyou:0

It happens. And it will happen again. We are human and need to indulge every now and again. Lifestyle change. Not a death sentence. Enjoy your cheese today. 0

I'll have to agree with some of the comments. Burn those calories so you won't feel so bad

Muenster cheese is delicious! Cheese is my downfall too...that is why I WILL NOT KEEP IT IN MY HOUSE! Shredded cheese is ok because it's too messy to eat right out of the bag but sliced cheese...O M G!!! :laugh:
Muenster is a light white/yellow with a darker yellow orange outside. Not a rind but it's just got a darker "skin" if you will! YUMMY!!!!
Good luck gett back on track. It happens to everyone. Good for you for recognizing it, just don't let that ruin the rest of your day! :happy:What's munster cheese?

It happens to everyone. What I tell my clients: Don't try to starve yourself all day to make up for it. Don't wait until tomorrow to "start over" again. Just start again NOW. Yes, you will be over, but if you eat a healthy balanced diet for rest of the day, you'll be fine. If you can squeeze in a little exercise, that'll help too. Don't sweat it. Move on. Have a healthy lunch and just know that you'll be over today. No biggie! Maybe your body can use the metabolic boost. 0

I had a day like that yesterday! Ended up working out for 2.5 hours to work off all the damage I did. Even if you don't have time to work it all off, get some kind of workout in and just get right back on track tomorrow. Don't let a slip become a fall!0

Sorry about the spelling difference!
Muenster is the American version
Munster is the French version
LOL-thanks google!
______________________________________________
There are several variations on what constitutes Muenster Cheese.
In general, it is a washed rind, semi-firm cheese, that is soft, creamy and yellowish inside, with a red sticky rind outside. The rind is edible, though some cut if off because it has a very salty taste from being washed with brine as it is aging. The cheese is very mild when young, but it becomes very, very smelly when old, and really smelly when very old.
American versions are sold younger, and with a weaker taste, than European versions.
Some versions of Muenster may be flavoured with anise or caraway.
Muenster is made in Germany and France, as well as in Copenhagen (Denmark), and in Wisconsin (America.)

Walk in place - touch toes - shadow box - MOVE! Take that frustration you're feeling and sweat it out! A very wise person on MFP told me;
"The moment to REstart is the Moment you take that last bite of Something Unwise" - I wrote that down and have it right in front of me all day long!!
You CAN do this!
We're all here cheering you on!0 -
Just keep going! When we "fall off the wagon" we just have to get up and keep going. Don't sabatoge yourself! It's like when you get a flat tire. You don't put holes in the other 3 and sit there! NO! You fix the flat and keep moving!! So keep moving, girl!! You got this!!!0

YUMMY CHEESE!!!! I LOVE CHEESE (all cheese) .... I dont keep any in my house except for the 100 cal packs that kraft make and those will be my snacks every once in awhile ..... My second downfall are sweets I bake literally 2 or 3 times a week and I removed all brownie and cake mixes the other day .... I know that I can have them every now and then but I feel like out of site out of mind works for me ....
Dont worry about it we will all have our day(s) and the challenge really will be to be able to pick yourself back up and move forward ... with MFP though I know that wont be hard at all ... so much support here.
KEEP UP THE HARD WORK!!0 -
Just breathe! Admitting the downfall is half the battle, I think. Now that you have acknowledged it, get back on track. It is not the end of your journey. No three striked and you're out here. 0

When that happens to me, I don't feel guilty because I make immediate plans to undo the calorie damage. For example, I'll add the calories to my log, then figure out how long I need to make my workout and skip dinner to undo it. But do eat lunch though, you don't want to starve or anything. Or if the calorie damage is super bad, just figure out a way to make it up in your workouts over the course of the next week. For example - say you ate 700 more calories than you meant to:
Option 1:
Burn 300 of them at the gym
Save 400 by skipping dinner
Option 2:
Burn an extra 100 calories per workout each day this next week.
Honestly, making plans to make it up is the only way that I'm losing. I always used to just not beat myself up about it and go forward. Now I don't beat myself up, but I do immediately make plans to correct it. After a while, it's helped me develop my ability to say no to myself because I really hate exercising extra all week or skipping meals! 0 -
earn some of those calories back by excercising.. so that you can eat guilt free later..
We went out for dinner the other night and the food was so delicious. I was so full. I came home and ran for an hour because I was sure I must have comsumed 1000cals. After sweating it out I sat down to log my cals..Soup 135 roasted veggie feta wrap..no dressing 290 and five fries 100 or maybe even less..Wow!0 -
"Dust yourself off and try again" that's what Aaliya says, LOL! This happens to a lot of people. Burn off some of those calories and you'll feel better.0

Thanks everyone. Alot of great tips.0

I thought I did that on Saturday, I had a cheesteak for lunch and Chinese for dinner!!!! But my workout in the AM helped me keep on track and I wound up NOT going over, but I only had like 5 calories left at the end of the day!!!
Now that I am PMSing I am sure I am going to have a bad couple of days...
Don't be too hard on yourself!!!0 -
right damage control...get and do some exersice firstly...burn some of it off
and not to worry about it start again RIGHT NOW NOT TOMORROW!
good luck0 -

It's no big deal. Bread and cheese is damn tasty.
Let's put this in context. You say that you have 200 calories left for the day. However, is that true? You actually have 200 calories left to maintain your desired calorie deficit. Now if you have chosen a 2lbs loss per week that means you are running a deficit of 1000 calories per day. Therefore in order to maintain your current weight (not gain anything) you will still need to eat 1,200 calories. Going further you would need to eat that same increased level of calories per day over the next six days to maintain your current weight.
Now, let's go even further. Let's say you don't fancy doing any exercise at all today but you decide instead of eating the 200 calories you have left, you want to eat 700, equating to a weight loss of 1lbs per week. That's all fine and dandy but remember that if you are running a deficit of 1000 calories on the other days of your diet and you stick to it you will have created a deficit of 6000 calories over the entire week plus the 500 from today meaning an astonishing 6,500 calorie deficit for the entire week. That's even with eating the extra 500 calories and no further exercise!
I don't know what you are worried about girl...0 -
Hey Girl! I feel your pain. I love to workout but my worst feat is food. I was really shocked when I joined this site and realized how many calories I eat in a day. Don't let it get the best of you. All you can do is get back on track! Tomorrow is a new day. You can do it!0

Looks like you were visiting family, which can be tough! Maybe you could ask them to have foods on hand that are filling but lighter - or bring some things along those lines yourself. Then that's good all 'round! Good luck and keep at it!0
