I'm in a similar boat, cept it was my birthday. I had been doing so well and got on the scale this am, and up 4 lbs. Went out for supper with my girlfriend on Thursday evening ,my kids took me out for breakfast Friday morning, my sister for lunch on saturday, and then my husband brought home chinese food that night for supper . And birthday cake to top it off. I'm feeling soo "icky" right now, feel like i shouldn't eat for a week !

Need help to get back on track. I'm hoping a day or two that my doby will return to where it was . I'm feel like im retaining so much extra fluid desite the fact i did get my excercise in and only missed 2 days this week.

Throw it away. Seriously. If there aren't others there eating it then get rid of it so you dont eat it. Will only take 1 sec of willpower for you.....Once it's in the trash you won't want it anymore. 1day (or 1 weekend) is not going to ruin your efforts. Just get back on track...

if it were me i would just throw it into the garbage. my coworkers brought in some peruvian food today i tooke a small bite of each thing and threw the rest of my portion into the garbage so that i wouldn't eat anymore.... yes you're wasting food, but i have to do whats best for me

It's tough times like this that you just have to do what's best for you. I know it's hard to throw away food because that's like throwing away money but what is better for you? When I'm in situations like this one I try to think of how well I'll feel when I don't eat that and I keep busy or drink water or crystal light or some other drink. I try to avoid pop! Keep going and work harder this week on your workouts and you should be fine!

I totally understand. I went to a baby shower yesterday and food, food, food!! I didn't eat even though I wanted to. I have a couple of things that I do.

1. I remove myself from the food - I left the shower as soon as I could.
2. I will leave it just to see how long it takes for someone else to eat it! Husband or kids!!
3. Throw it completely away.
4. Take a bite, chew and then spit it out. I know it sounds gross but you don't have to tell everyone what you did. It is only one bite to get the taste!! And say to yourself I know what it taste like so why bother. , and I know what it will do to me.
Hope this helps..........

It's okay to throw it away. You will feel better.

I agree Trash it . If you leave it there you will eat it.

I went out last week with just the girls and I over ate and was so upset next day LOL so I understand

and don't tell yourself you won't eat the rest of the day...that will be SOOO hard and most likely you will eat something later, and you don't need to make yourself feel worse by saying no dinner and then eating dinner...so just tell youself you will eat a smallish healthy dinner...and then do that! and then tell yourself you'll have a normal day tomorrow....and then do that!

you'll be okay. a bad few days won't do damage...as long as you get back on it now and don't dwell on the "mistakes". because, realistically, we're all going to have days when we eat more than we hoped. it's what we do AFTER these days that really matters. these sort of days WILL happen, but they will be occasional...that's just real life. to say we'll never do that is insane. they are occasional and don't mean everything is screwed up.

We all backslide from time to time, it's okay...you're human! Just make sure your next meal is a sensible one!

I would agree....THROW IT OUT!!! Toooooo tempting!

Agree if it's bothering you that much then get rid of it. You'll learn to resist the temptations after a while too as you find you want your weight loss more and more. I don't bat an eyelid at the office treats anymore. x
