    Yeah, that happens...but all you can do is not let it mess with your head and get back into the game as soon as possible. If it was dinner just don't eat anything else today and vow that tomorrow you will start fresh. When I pig out I try to cut back the next day wherever possible and the following day or so also to make up for it, or more exercise or both. Don't hate yourself! Unless the food was bad, it wasn't a complete disaster! :-D

    As Scarlett would say "tomorrow is another day!"

    Amen!

    My MIL (who lost over 200lbs and has kept it off for 20 years) lives each day by this motto.

    Thanks everyone. About a year ago, I lost 30 pounds then the same thing happened and I couldn't get back on the wagon. I gave up and last week decide to start over. I manage to keep 15 pounds off and the first week I lost 4 pounds then today happen!

    If you enjoyed yourself it's okay. Payback comes tomorrow because it's a new day. We all have bad choice days, let it happen and move on

    I JUST had a cheat day today that included A LOT of chinese food and peanut M&Ms....Im going to do a big workout tomorrow and eat super clean and drink lots of water!! DO NOT feel guilty....Ive read that people actually do better with their weight loss when they shock their bodies with a bad meal once a month or so. Dont worry about it....youre human and this is a lifestyle change that doesnt get thrown out over one day!!!

    I plan on hitting up the chinese buffet next weekend and I don't feel bad at all! Accepting that I won't have a perfect diet everyday and allowing myself to splurge once in a great while keeps me sane. Try not to feel too bad! :smile:

    ^^This!!^^ I do way better than I used to but it's not realistic (for me at least) to think I'm never going to over indulge again. When I do, I enjoy it and then get back to my regular routine. You wouldn't believe how many years it's taken me to come to that conclusion. I once let a couple of bad meals send me into a tailspin it literally took years to recover from and it was totally unnecessary. Drink some extra water and stay away from the scales for a few days and it'll be good:)
