    Nobody EVER goes over. We are all perfect in every way possible and YOU are the only one who is or has failed. ::rolls eyes::

    Everybody has their off days friend. Don't get too wrapped up in one day. Keep your head up.

    Planning. If i know i am going out for a chinese buffet.. i know i will consume on or over 1200 calories, i will get myself up early and try to do daft amounts of exercise to try and make a dint on the calories i am going to consume. Telling myself i will work it off afterwards never works because i always feel lethargic and uncomfortable.. The way you always want to go to sleep after a whoppa christmas dinner. I feel that way every time i go out to eat naughty foods! But try not to let it spoil your outing because thats not a lifestyle change that you can keep up.

    I posted a very similar question a few weeks ago and someone wrote back a reply that I really liked -- Instead of thinking of your calorie instake as strickly day to day, think of it as weekly. If you know you will be going out on the weekends and eating all kinds of extra food, then take it easy the day before. If you over-indulge, just relax and get back on track in the next few days. It's not a total failure! Your body will balance everything out. Hope that was helpful. :)

    It happens, and it's not worth stressing about.

    Just don't allow going over to be an excuse for making poor choices. So many of us have the 'I screwed up so to heck with it' sort of mentality, when we should just pick up from the moment or realisation and keep on going forward.

    It's not the end of the world. Likely won't be the last time you do it.

    Learn, and keep on moving forward.
