Went over my calories....I feel like crap.

GregBaker87

All week I've been doing great at not going over my calorie goal but tonight, I'm pretty sure I went over by almost double. Ugh.... boredom drove me to eating. Now I feel sick and just want to say "to hell with this diet." If I quit, I fail.... obviously. FML.

We ALL have a day like that every now and again. Just make it a learning experience and DON'T GIVE UP!

Tomorrow is a new day

SammyLynn010

Its one day--remember that none of us are perfect and if this was easy then everyone would be stick thin! ... You can do this!! When you wake up in the morning leave this day in the dust and make tomorrow even better than you thought possible!!

RoanneRed

Slap some sense into yourself and be determined to do better tomorrow.

Don't think of it as a diet!! And yes, it's only one day! don't worry about it. Tomorrow is another day

live4turns

Hey man I'm over almost everyday and even when I try to burn the extra calories I'm still over...but I dont let it get to me and even though my weight loss has stalled a bit I know I'm still making progress because the inches off my waist, hips and thighs have been reducing continuously. And people have told me i look much more fit. Don't let it get it to you. Today I'm 1000 over thats including the extra 1000 calories burned working out but do I care. nope! Don't let it get to you. Your body will be fine.

Nope, don' t do that, just say tomorrow is a new day!

We all screw up, call it a major cheat day and face tomorrow fresh. If you let guilt get to you, you won't get through this.

I'm on my second time of losing weight that I gained back with comfort eating, I can't beat myself up for that now, I have to take it one day at a time until I get there!! And you will get there too!!

One day is just one day. It took a lot longer than one day to get overweight, right?

I am having one of those days today, too, and I am looking forward to a new day tomorrow.

sister_bear

The good news is that tomorrow is a new day. We all fall off the wagon now and again. You can do better tomorrow.

When you want to eat something that you know you shouldn't, remember how you feel now. I have to remember how I feel when I eat french fries to keep myself from getting some french fries. They make me feel horrible. Not worth it.

Don't give up. This is part of the process. Tomorrow is a new day.

JayAlexander

I just ate 9 plates of sushi!! I feel ya for sure. Gotta get back on the horse, never give up.

SusanneWhittington

make a check mark behind yesterday and next time you are bored, think about how bad you feel now and look for something to do, exercise, take a walk.

Dabbles

It's not a diet. So what, you ate too much today. Tomorrow is a new day. Work it off.

Hi Greg,

Don't sweat it man. I do this quite often. I'll do well for several days, and then *POW* weekend or party or something else comes along and I go well over my calories for the day. I'm still down 40 lbs+ since I started my new lifestyle. That's what you have to think of it as, a different mindset of life changes, not just "dieting rules". That's why diets always fail. But having a general trend of being more healthy is something that gives you the wiggle room to slip up now and again, and just keep going on.

Stick with it man, keep it going, and you'll see some good results. Hope that helps man.

Get up and dust yourself off and get back to it. Once a quitter always a quitter. Don't be a quitter.

Jodi_O

Blowing one day doesn't undo the great job that you've done the rest of the week.

TheresaRichardson

This is a lifestyle! One day at a time,,,DON'T GIVE UP! Look at what you've accomplished so far.

nygiantschick

Im 600 calories over and did not work out at all today. It happens. Tomorrow is a new day. Stay focused and determined and don't let one rough day overshadow the 6 great days you had. We all have them.

Heather75

I went over my calories and I feel GREAT! You know why? Because this is the first time in ages that it has happened. If I can do it, you can do it. (Be under, I mean - not totally **** up. Anyone can do that. )

foodforfuel

We all have days like that, Greg. Best thing to do is get right back on the horse. Accept what happened for what it is, try to remember how crappy it made you feel so you'll be less tempted to induldge next time. You don't have to wait till tomorrow to start again, start right now!
Maybe try to have a backup plan for boredom that takes you closer to your goal and makes you feel better. A few free weights and such out in the garage or something and when you feel yourself wanting to eat for no good reason, hit the weights or go do some exercises that make you feel good instead!
You can do this! It's not a fail, and remember all the times you have not gone over your calorie goal! You'll get there! Just don't quit!

LillysGranny

Each day, really each meal, is another chance to get it right. Nobody's perfect so don't beat yourself up over one heavy meal. Just put your game face back on and make a good choice for breakfast!

fastbelly

It happens to us all, it almost happened to me today, I managed to stay within (barely) so far though, hopefully I won't be too hungry before bed.

Just resume the next day and try over the next few days to be under your goal to make up for the "cheat day".

Enjoy.

lostemt76

Been there done that. You have to put it behind you and move on. Tomorrow is a new day and you can look forward getting back on track. I have felt like a failure many times but I picked myself brushed of the dust and move on. You can talk with me if you need n ear to listen. I'm throwing this out but if you want to I am on facebook and in some very supportive groups if you want to friend me I can get you into these supports group. :flowerforyou:

sweetheart03622

Learn from it. You're a bored eater. Keep yourself busy and it won't happen as much. Honestly, this is a marathon, not a sprint. If you give up every time it's tough or doesn't work perfectly you'll never get anywhere. Cut yourself some slack, it's Friday!!

I agree with this 100%! I have fallen off the bandwagon at least 3 weekends since the end of March 2 weddings, one bachelorette party later I am still down 47 pounds! This is what keeps you going (it does me anyway)

YukonJoy

I also did really well this week. But tonight I am just super depressed and drinking and eating crap and I will definitely be over.

Right now though I don't give a rats *kitten*.

kappyblu

It happens to all of us. Whenever it happens to me (more than I care to admit!) I try to remind myself of the decision I made almost a year ago. I remember the woman I was...I remember making the decision to change for good. Yes, I was heavy then, and still am, but I am quite proud of that woman that took that leap of faith. It took a lot of courage to make that decision, as I am sure it did for you. Honor that person...don't let that person down. If you fall...get up! All is well, Rome wasn't built in a day, you know. Take care.

All week I've been doing great at not going over my calorie goal but tonight, I'm pretty sure I went over by almost double. Ugh.... boredom drove me to eating. Now I feel sick and just want to say "to hell with this diet." If I quit, I fail.... obviously. FML.

We can all relate! If I had given up every time I blew it, I'd still be overweight. Instead, I jumped back in and started again. After many, many stalls... here I am at my goal!!! Chin up - you got this!

Elleinnz

It happens - don't beat yourself up about it, but learn from it - what happened, how did it get so out of control - what can I do different next time..... It is all about learning some coping strategies....

Now brush yourself off, and get back on the truck in the morning - it is still going in the direction of your new healthy life - one day at a time....get on - hold on - and remember to enjoy the ride!

paradog

It happens to us all. Why not take a long walk? It might not close the plan gap but its a positive reaction and its better than sitting there feeling down!

Good Luck!

aubarnold

A fellow South Carolinaian Im in Charleston....anyhow I think you should write down how you feel after eating like that, and the next time you are bored, lonely, whatever, read it and hopefully you can make better decisions You can do it!!

ckclontz

Okay, you had a bad day. We're human, it happens. Don't beat yourself up over it, just look forward and know that you can do better. You know what you should and shouldn't do, and you turned here, knowing you'd get the support you need. We're here when you need a shoulder, and you'll get back with it tomorrow feeling stronger and more determined.

Don't expect instant success, and you won't find instant failure. It took you a long time to get where you are, and it'll take a long time to find your way to health. In the meantime, try writing down - not necessarily here unless you want to - what you LIKE about yourself. Do you have a good heart? Do you have nice eyes? Will your hands hold others who need help? Can your back take a load off of someone and make their heart lighter?

Once you get done with your list, keep it and reread it often to remind yourself of just how much you really are worth. You'll surprise yourself. You're worth more than you think you are, and you WILL succeed. When you need someone to take a load off of your back, turn to us. We'll be here waiting and ready.
