after 2 weeks of being on the healthiest diet I have ever been on and reaping the benefits. I feel soooo horrible. Hubby and I have had a couple of beers tonight that were NOT light beer. Now we have just got done ordering pizza....WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME???? I think I am scared to succeed that when things go wrong like drinking a beer I feel like everything else is just ruined for the day. I guess I will have to just pick myself up off the floor and pick up where I left off.

    I don't cut anything out of my lifestyle I like. I just comp the calories with exercise and make sure that whatever I eat is included in my daily calorie count.
    One day ain't gonna kill you and the reason why people regain back weight they lost is because they end up missing the food they like. Make it part of your life, but just learn portion control.

    Girl, don't be too hard on yourself. You have lost alot of weight already. You should allow yourself guilty pleasure food once in a while so you don't miss it. Just don't go nuts with it either!

    It's just one day, you'll be ok. You can't reverse all the hard work you've done with a beer and a pizza.

    Wow, you've done great. You are down to 198 pounds. Don't let one night of a couple beers and pizza ruin what you've done so far. Just do better tomorrow to make up for it.

    What good is a lifestyle change if you can't splurge every so often? Tomorrow is a new day! :)

    One night isn't going to ruin anything. Enjoy your pizza. Don't feel guilty. Hop back on the wagon tomorrow, but make sure it's an easy, relatively non-restrictive wagon that is easier to stay on....

    Since when is having beer and pizza ONE day after TWO weeks of eating "healthy" a setback? Jimminy cripes sake. :gripforyou: :flowerforyou:

    when she says she feels horrible for doing it.

    ...or when because she's had a beer that wasn't in her plan, she now binges on pizza that isn't in her plan.

    Its okay to have pizza and a beer here and there. The key is everything in moderation! Keep up the good work :)

    I hate beer, but I eat pizza like once a week. And not always homemade. We're talking calorie-laden Papa John's/Dominos pizza here. If I know I'm going to be eating it, I'll either skip lunch, or eat something super light so I leave enough calorie/sodium wiggle room. I'll also make sure I exercise BEFORE eating it, and will maybe do a little extra so I have even more wiggle room. It's not the end of the world AT ALL. If you don't allow yourself treats, you're more likely to fall off the wagon.

    This is EXACTLY what I do. Example: Tonight I'm getting more than a little buzzed with the hubby BUT I calculated all my drinks, I've exercise twice today, left some calories available for munchies (filling snack if needed) and I will still be under my cal goal for the day. No, this isn't something I plan for every weekend but the point is, it's guilt free indulgence! Making a healthier lifestyle change isn't about totally restricting yourself. It is about finding a balance that you can live with that won't make you feel cheated but will still help you reach your fitness goals.

    Yes, I know drinking isn't part of a healthy lifestyle but I'm grown and the reality is, I WILL indulge in adult beverages. I won't feel guilty about it either. I just make sure I plan for these once a month events. :drinker: :wink:

    Stay focus don't let the boogeyman man get you down. You can enjoy one day with your husband without guilt (boogeyman) but tomorrow you can get back on track. That the way life, we are not on your best always. Stop thinking like you are on a diet. We are on a journey to get health for our children and husband So if you detour off the journey just get back on the journey of success

    Don't tell anyone, but I had pizza for dinner tonight. I would be having some beer too, but I have a long drive before the crack of dawn tomorrow. Work hard, eat big.

    Let it go and start over fresh tomorrow.

    One day won't kill you, just don't make it a habit.

    You are being too hard on yourself. The point now is not to beat yourself up but to decide how you are going to learn from this. You can:
    1. Spiral downwards into despair and comfit eat making the problem worse
    2. Decide that eating the way you did made you feel bloated and not good about yourself and remind yourself of that feeling next time you’re tempted. You WILL feel good when you resist.
    3. Decide to plan for a little blow out and work harder for a few days at your exercise.
    Only the first one would be a very bad choice. You’ve achieved so much. You didn’t ruin it in one night. You will ruin it if you don’t take a positive message out of it.
    Good luck.

    yesterday i had pizza, chinese food & icecream. went over about 1k cals, but so what, i will make it up the rest of the week. this is your life not a prison sentence.

    I am losing weight very slowly as I have realised that I want to be able to maintain a livable life & diet for the rest of my life rather than lose a load of weight in record time & then have issues when I eat the occasional bad thing.

    Get over the guilt & move on.

    Don't take the things you enjoy out of your life, we all have some things we love that are full of bad calories.
    Just be really good next week, I allow myself one cheat day every week :smile:
    And if you still feel bad just do some extra exercise to burn it off :happy:
