BLAH! I went out for ice cream and I thought I'd be good by ordering frozen yogurt. Something in the back of my head said "Say that you only want 1 scoop", so I asked for a small... and what did the ice cream lady hand me? A cone, with 2 HUGE scoops of frozen yogurt. WHY!?!?! And why do I have zero willpower to eat only part of it? I ate the whole thing... and now I feel sooo guilty.

I had an AMAZING day with food... nothing bad.....and now this?

BLAH!!!!!

    Don't beat yourself up over it. That is now the past. Just do better tomorrow.

    Welcome to my friday and sat nights. So much so that I basically starve myself fri during the day because I know friday nights drinking = bad eating!

    Don't feel guilty. Are you expecting to be a certain weight tomorrow? Probably not. This is an on-going lifestyle and we are allowed to stray off the path once in a while before getting back on track. Enjoy a treat now and then. You have earned it! :)

    Since you are at your goal weight you can afford the indulgence. Give food a healthy look and give yourself some credit for doing the work....sometimes it's time to relax.
    Back again 2mrw....STAY AWAY FROM THE SWEET SHOPS :tongue:

    Holy wow - calm down, it was frozen YOGURT... You could of have a large Orea Blizzard wit extra Chocolate Sauce. IHaving a double scoop of frozen yogurt in a cone ins't going to kill your weight loss - trust me....

    What WILL kill your weightloss, however, is being so hard on yourself that you can never allow yourself a treat. You had a perfect day, and you rewarded yourself for it. Nothing wrong with that.

    True... but I was hoping to save my indlugence for dinner tomorrow night. We're taking my dad to a steakhouse and that's never a good place if you're trying to eat healthy!

    So take your dad out too! You know what to do to work off the extra calories. Here's what I do to keep me from going crazy... I'm only 2.2 lbs from my goal. BUT... I have cushioned my goal weight with 5 lbs above and 5 lbs below. This gives me 10 pounds to fluctuate without freaking out. That might work for you too.
