    My motto is "Today is a new beginning". What happened yesterday is yesterday. We all mess up but don't beat yourself up about it. Just start over and eat your normal way today. If you restrict yourself today as a means of punishment, that will backfire and you'll be pigging out making yourself feel more guilty then ever! Remember, you're not alone, we're all on the same journey here :smile:

    Were all human, we make mistakes but its up to u to learn from those mistakes and move on and not make the same mistakes again

    Why is eating something a mistake? It's one meal. It's not like she's saying she's been downing cupcakes and ice cream and pies and monkey bread for 72 hours straight.

    She had a single night out with friends and ate some food. Where is the mistake? Why is this even a post? Good grief people, she didn't do anything wrong. What's wrong is that people think this is wrong.

    NEWSFLASH: Eating an ice cream sundae, or any food for that matter, ONE night isn't the end of the world or your "diet." Just enjoy it and your friends and move on.

    ^ This! If you don't think this way then you're going to end up with an eating disorder if you don't already have one and I can tell you they are no fun. Relax and have one of those sundaes per month and enjoy every spoonful with your friends! You only live once, might as well enjoy it too while you lose weight right?

    It's one day out of 365...don't worry about it. Weight control is not linear, whether it's loss, maintain, or gain...it's a long range trend. As long as you're not stuffing your face with this kind of stuff all of the time, it's no big deal. Everyone splurges now and again. By the looks of things, you don't have a whole lot to worry about anyway, you're pretty rockin' as it is.

    Man, I hate it when my friends put a gun to my head, safety off, and make me eat all the food.



    I need new friends. *tear*

    ^^^ This! Amazing.

    Just keep your goals in focus and don't let one hurdle trip you up... you'll be fine.
    And don't obsess and beat yourself up over a diet.

    Okay to everyone saying no one forced me and being rude:
    Obviously no one held me down and shoved it in my mouth, I'm taking accountability for what I ate. I was just saying I didn't walk in and say hey tonight I wanna eat a sundae was all I was saying so no need to be rude.

    Thanks to everyone else for the encouraging words!

    & yes, I am 18. I don't know why my profile says 20 or how to change it. I'm a senior in high school, I just had my 18th birthday a few weeks ago.


    My guess is that you lied about your age when you first created your account since you would have been 17 at the time (at least according to the current version of your timeline).


    But it's admittedly just a guess.

    It is a sad day when eating is suddenly seen as some sort of crime that must be repented for, really sad.
    This is life, many people don't even get a chance at life, yet suddenly doing something that many, many normal people do once in a while, is suddenly the be all and end all of life.
    Get a grip people. Life is far too short to be this obsessive over a single incidence of indulgence.
    Kids dying everyday and here we are worrying over a flipping ice cream.

    Probably, I don't know. I made it a while ago because our soccer coach told us to do this & add eachother an hold eachother accountable for what were putting in our body's but never ended up using it and just started again like 2 weeks ago

    We have ALL been there...the trick is to shake it off, and move on.....dont dwell on it.....you enjoyed the time with your friends, you ate stuff you feel bad about, its over with and most likely no harm done.....drink lots of water it helps....

    So, a high school soccer coach told his/her minor students to lie about their age to join MFP, a site for adults?

    Obviously not? He just said to join the site? It's not a high school soccer coach, preimer level & the UW soccer head coach so I think he knows what he's doin. Thanks.

    Unfortunately, a lot of HS health teachers send minors here.

    Using your real name as your username, and giving out specific information about yourself. Looking to be creeped, or something? :huh:

    It's okay to have an off day once in a while. Just keep doing what you're doing. Don't punish yourself for being a human and having something sweet. That will only backfire on you.

    Your friends "forced" you? As in, they held you down and force-fed you every bite?

    No?

    Then they didn't force you. They pressured, YOU cracked. Take responsibility for your actions, don't blame your friends.

    And one cookie thing won't make you balloon overnight, you'll be just fine. But if you have that low of self-control, and your friends are really that pushy, I would suggest not hanging out with them as much, or at least allow for an indulgence ahead of time.

    Well, I'm glad he's not associated with a high school. Either way, if an adult is coaching minors, he should not tell them to join a site unless he understands the TOS. Just my opinion as someone who works with minors daily. I also agree with the other poster who told you to be careful of giving out your real name, the name of the soccer association for which you belong, along with a pic of yourself in a bikini. There are some sickos out there!

    It happens, you can't beat yourself up over it! You ate food because maybe you were craving it. Sure, maybe a bit too much but hey! Just jump right back on the band wagon tomorrow! Feel free to add me as a friend!

    Just ignore the rude replies, it seems that some people didn't learn "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all". I get constructive criticism, but some people are just plain rude. Anyway, I understand you feeling guilty about what you ate. I think many of us have been there at one time or another (or many many times, lol). As others have said, just learn from it and move on. Maybe next time your friends are pressuring you into ordering something late at night, you can order something small that you would be able to eat less of to get them off your back. I wouldn't restrict calories today to compensate though because I don't think that's healthy either and doing something unhealthy to make up for something unhealthy doesn't make sense, right. Remember, this is a lifestyle change and things like this are going to happen from time to time.

    My step-daughter's gym class was encouraged to start an account here. They are high school juniors. It wasn't for weight loss per se, but so they could log and get a better idea of what they're actually putting into their bodies. Knowing our town, I'm guessing the teacher (a woman) had no idea there was an age limit on joining and just thought it would be an easy to use and readily available tool for them to use.
