I just messed up completely.

I'm embarrassed to even write this, but I wanna see reactions and stuff. My mum (always been overweight and thinks me 'skinny' at 145lbs) bought me a tub of Ben & Jerrys ice cream. I was well under my calorie goal today so thought I'd have a little bit as a treat. I've just sat ere and ate THE WHOLE THING. It's like 1000 calories. Ugh.

and what should you do the rest of the day???
Get back on track and don't sweat it. :flowerforyou: I have been there done that with something similar.0 -
You could run it off? Or at least walk some of it off.0

It's okay, just get back to it tomorrow!
Maybe have a talk with your mom about being more supportive? Like not buying you a tub of Ben & Jerry's ice cream when you're trying to lose weight. The first week is difficult, this is where you need the support the most.0 -
With weight loss, sometimes it is two steps forward, one step back. or, another way to put it is baby-steps. Instead of beating yourself up over this one mis-step, look to your successes! Negativity will do nothing for you, except probably make you feel worse and go to the foods that comfort you.
You should inform your mom NOT to buy you ice cream again. Make sure she understands how important it is that you have her support. Also, make sure you portion your food and eat it in a bowl, not the tub, which makes it easier for one more bit to become the whole thing.
Cheer up, it is okay to make mistakes! It is important to LEARN from them, so you do not repeat the offense.
Good luck!0 -
Take a walk or do some other type of excercise. TForget about it. It done nothign yu can do but start fresh tommrrow. There are people who will sabatoge what yu are doing. They usually say" Oh little bit of it won't hurt." Yes it will.0

We've all been there, done that. Don't sweat it! Excerise a little harder and eat a little less tommorow and you will be fine I promise. If we never had slip ups we wouldn't be human! I slip up on a regular basis. Darn food. :P0

Well, my advice is "don't make a habit of it". But since it's done, don't stress about it either. If you're going to eat 1000 calories of ice cream at least enjoy it! And then ... Don't make a habit of it.0

I agree with everyone. You did NOT mess up completely. Just log it and move on. Maybe take an extra long walk after dinner. Maybe even take your mom with you and talk to her about how you are trying to make healthier choices. You will be fone. Just keep plugging along.0

Nothing you can do now. Tomorrow's another day. Hope you enjoyed it. If your mother is deliberately or unconsciously undermining your weight loss efforts, you might want to think about how to address that in the future.0

blowing it for a moment does not equal blowing it for the day. Be mindful of what you eat the rest of the day, get some exercise, and finish out the day acknowledging the mistake AND LEARNING FROM IT.
Tomorrow, that ice cream is already gone, so start fresh.0 -
Something similar happened to me Tuesday. There is nothing to be done now, so I am just moving forward and not using it as an excuse to give up completely and trying extra hard the rest of the week.0

ballance it out tomorrow0
-
there are just some things I can't eat at all or I over eat them. think of it as a lesson learned, therefore worth the calories. don't let anyone bring ben and jerry's into your house from now on, and today -- be nice to yourself, you deserve it, and you learned from it0

1000 cals thats doable get on the cycle and kill it 2 hours!!!!
GO GO GO0 -
No problem! Chin up! We all mess up periodically. More importantly, get back on track.0
-
Get over it ... and get back on track. Nobody is perfect ... so, just learn from the mistake and move on!!0
-
Yum.
Don't worry about it.
Go for a walk once you come down from the sugar high.0 -
Mistakes happen. Go for a long walk and shake it off.0

That is the attitude that always made me give up. Don't give up! Tomorrow is another day. This is a life change. When you mess something up in other areas of your life, you start over! I had a bad day yesterday. I ate a couple of cookies and mac and cheese and was thinking "damn, that was a bad day". But this morning I woke up and weighed myself and I still lost 2 lbs! Just because you feel you erred doesn't mean it will make everything worse. Just keep it up and don't beat yourself up because THAT'S what will make you fail.0

I agree with everyone else. Don't give up. Take a walk and get right back on track! It happens to all of us.0
