What do you do after a bad day?

I've put my diary on password now because people keep making remarks. Getting sick of it now.

I was 800 under on Monday, and 800 over Tuesday. All of a sudden there are loads of comments like OMG. As long as I'm not over at the end of the week, I can't say I'm arsed.

OMG YOU HAD A CHOCOLATE BAR. - Yes, I did. This isn't a ****ing diet, I haven't stopped eating chocolate for ever.
OMG YOU WERE SO OVER ON SODIUM! - Er, on one day. Oneee day.

If I have a bad day or go over, I don't want to feel harassed. I used to wonder why people had private diaries, now I guess I know.

I'm not sure who you have as friends on here, but I never have that problem with the people I've surrounded myself with. We all realize that we are not perfect and we all slip up here and there. No big deal. Maybe you should re-evaluate who you have as friends...

Eh!!.. A bad day?? What is really a bad day.. This isn't a regimented system that if you don't follow it you lose points or money.. Don't beat yourself up if you have a 'bad day'.. It happens to us all, just wake up the next day (you'll probably be feeling it in your stomach anyway) and just get back on track the next day...

Don't let it bug you, there's more things going on in the world that are worse than a good day out with friends

Amen to that! I keep hearing about these people who harrass their friends about what's in their diary. I don't get that, how is that supportive? Not cool, not cool at all!

We all have bad days. I do NOT beat myself up over it and I wouldn't do that to anyone else - none of us are perfect! As a side note, I do like a treat @ the end of the day - maybe not every day but most days. I just try to plan for them and try to keep them somewhat healthy. LOL

But when i've been REALLY bad, I mean SUPER BAD and ate a ton of popcorn, candy, In & Out (YUM!!!) or whatever - I just try to drink a TON of water the next day and get back on that horse and keep it moving!

No need to dwell on the past, just learn from your missteps and keep it movin'!

When I have a bad day, I just start over the next day and try to be really mindful of healthier choices. If I dwell on the bad day then I am more likely to get down in the dumps and have another bad day because I will look to food to comfort the feeling of failure, which leads to more feelings of failure. The best way to look at it for me is to just say the bad day is over and there will be a better day tomorrow. It all averages out. Don't stop doing the things you enjoy just because of a lifestyle change. The point is to be sure you aren't doing them EVERY single day anymore, not to deprive yourself entirely.

I might exercise extra hard the next day, but still eat most, if not all, of the exercise calories.

The one thing I would definitely do is to increase the water intake. 16 glasses, for sure! Gotta flush the sodium :drinker: Otherwise, don't dwell on it and get right back on track.

I agree with everybody and I personally try and be lighthearted about it instead of get down on myself... I try to tell myself "well that was an unexpected cheat day!" I move on and keep doing my usual routine tomorrow, don't punish yourself you deserve a splurge every now and then

Don't punish yourself and don't starve eat well back on track! You can do this, now if I can take my own advice...

It's okay to enjoy life and have a treat day once in a while! Don't turn those occasions into something that you have to atone for with a grueling workout the next day. As others have said, chug lots of water and get back on track tomorrow.
