Feeling guilty

AmandaGettingMarried

I have some days where I go way over calories - honestly only happens once every three weeks or so, but I feel so guilty!

What do you do to counteract the over-indulgence?

Eat less the next day, and stop associating guilt with food. That's inappropriate.

Refocus the next day and make up for it. That's about all you can do. Guilt just makes things worse. You deserve to splurge now and then!

This is a lifestyle change.....so overinduldging once in a while should fit in just fine! And I agree about not feeling guilty!

refocus, eat better the following days, and add in some extra workout/exercise time. Don't feel guilty! Enjoy the food and enjoy getting tot your goals. Guilt just causes stress which promotes weight gain. Everything in moderation! I do spike days myself once a week - helps keep the metabolism on its toes (for me at least).

I don't sweat it...it happens and you need days like that every now and then...

Personally, I don't care if I overeat one day. Just means I maintained that day instead of lost any weight.

Whenever I eat too much I take it as my body telling me that I need more nutrients to fuel my lifestyle

If you are only going over in calories every three weeks you are a freakin champ!! Spike days are good now and then and IMO keep you from feeling deprived. You are doing great.....no guilt necessary!
