  • HUGE HUGS!! Just get back on the wagon and start again! You can do it!
  • Did you have a good weekend? - yes.
    Did you kill anyone?- no.
    Are you planning that the rest of your life was going to be following your regime? If yes- you may need to re-think. If no- then you have done your first bit of training for a balanced existence.

    I totally understand!! I had a bad day yesterday as well and I just have to take my butt to the gym today, work extra hard and don't give up! I look at it like we aren't perfect...if we were, we probably wouldn't be on this website!
    Good luck to you!!!!

    I also have bumped up what I eat by 200 calories a day, just for the simple fact it was getting too hard for me to eat only 1200 calories, and I want to see what happens by doing this. It's amazing how much easier it is to get by on those 200 extra calories! Don't fret, everyone has bad days now and then.

    I gooped too.............found out we're gonna be grandparents for the first time & then celebratory dinner for youngest's 18th. Too many calories.............but logged them all.

    Let's put it behind us & start again. One bad weekend does not make you a failure.......sometimes a calorie splurge kickstarts the system!

    I had a bad weekend too,but got up early and worked out. I feel good about today, will make it lighter - LOTS of fruits and veggies today. We can do this. Add me if you want. I am here everyday. I didn't log food on Sunday either. Starting over today. One day at a time. Can't let one weekend discourage us after all of the good days we HAVE had.

    As said by others is just a day, just like a bad month financially, is just a month out of a year, this is just a day.

    Don't beat yourself about it, and don't allow your demons to get you to loose your drive.

    i feel the same, binged silly over the weekend and felt guilty about it. but like everyone has a said, today is a new day :D
    if you feel really bad, do an extra long work out or go for a run.
    hope everything goes ok! x
  • It's only one day, just get back to normal for the rest of the week.

    Sometimes you need a bit of a blow-out to break a plateau - I'm notorious for recording a loss the day after a beer-and-pizza binge, then keeping it off!

    You'll be fine, but in future log everything you eat, even on the bad days. MFP works by accountability and being able to see the effects of what you eat and how you exercise.

    Keep up the good work, you'll be fine in the long run! :flowerforyou:

    This!! You'll be fine, it's only a couple of days in a lifetime of health. I too had a super-caloric weekend and it was great. No guilt here - I needed to relax a bit :)

    Hang in there!

    I know how you feel, last night I had a complete bender which was in the region of 10 glasses of wine in the space of a few hours... and this morning I fixed the resultant hangover the best way I know how - a 12" baguette with fried sausage, bacon and mushroom!

    I won't lie, it tasted good. Still, I have some serious making up to do to myself as a result, so later on it will be off out for a C25K session, and no more alcohol during the week. New day, new challenge, and off we go! You're never alone on here :)
