Hi,
I went over my limit by 1324 but I had planned for it. Still, I feel kind of bad about it! Can't wait til tomorrow so I can show myself that it's really OK and it doesn't mean I'm sliding back into the old way of eating just anything!!

    I logged to see how much I ate today...it was well over six thousand calories!

    Needless to say, I swiftly removed it from my diary so I didn't have to go to bed having nightmares of red numbers LOL!

    (BTW, I live in Ireland and there is no such thing as THANKSGIVING here, that was all just me having a really REALLY stressful day haha)

    We will be fine, we will get back to the good life :smile:

    :heart:

    I'm *trying* to stop myself from feeling bad by reflecting on how far I've come. These bad days happen to us all!

    Yep, over by quite a bit. Not 6000 like one of the posters above me mentioned. I don't think that is physically possible for me, but I'm shooting for a 3000 calorie day. It is only 3pm in my time zone, so I've got some time left to work on the rest of the calories.

    In at close to 4000 for the day, usual day for me is 3500 so I'm not doing too bad. Sadly its 5 pm here and I have a long way to go and a lot of Vodka! Cheers!

    I'm over today by almost 2,000 kcal - and probably more since I didn't measure my food and therefore most likely underestimated the quantities. :drinker: I'm not worried about it though. It tasted delicious and it was actually all healthy (except the quantity of the sweet potatoes) and it was the first major feast in 13 years where I've been able to safely eat every single thing on the table. Maybe having developed food allergies and intolerances gives me a different perspective on major food-oriented events.

    Yes, I ate a bit too much for my stomach. So tonight I will do my usual 2 x 30 squats, 2 x 25 lunges, and pushups and revel in how lovely everything was. Tomorrow I will get back to my regular eating and exercise habits, and be a little more careful for the next few weeks to balance out what I consumed today.

    Happy day everyone!

    I have 160 left. And seeing as I ate a huge lunch~if I ate another bite today I think I would explode! My husband and I ran this morning and gave ourselves a little wiggle room of cals for the day! Yeah for that!!! Happy Thanksgiving, all!
