    Recognize your mistakes and move on. Punishing yourself by fasting or something the next day will only start a vicious cycle. Willpower is like a muscle that needs reps to get stronger.

    LMAO - Can I just say that I love your profile picture??? Yoga pose...and a glass of wine. And what you said ^. All of that together makes me giggle.

    OOOOOO!!! I did that twice last week.....and didn't go to the gym. So, the next day, I worked out like normal, and just tried to stay within range and eat a little less. That way...the average at the end of the week is still in my range. It worked out, and I still lost 2lbs. As long as you're working out and meeting your goals most of the time, you'll be fine. I think we all do it. LOL.

    Look at the big picture:

    Over the course of one week, going over that one day by 1000 calories is the equivalent of going over every day by less than 150 calories. And since you're already eating at a deficit... you're still going to lose weight.

    Personally, I think it's a good plan to go over every once in a while.

    Yes, tomorrow you should do two things. Get back on track and forget about yesterday. It's over. We've all been there. Know that it will happen again. Life goes on.

    Don't beat yourself up. :D

    Don't worry about it. Just go back to your normal routine of diet and exercise tomorrow. Don't half-kill yourself trying to make up for it; you can't do it. Also, it may actually be good in the long run that you went over. The body grows accustomed to the calorie total that you are feeding it and starts slowing down the weight loss. I've been dealing with this recently, and my trainer instructed me to go way over my daily calorie totals this weekend and then go back to normal tomorrow.
