    I consider it a challenge to see how close to the line in can get without going over.

    Sometimes, yeah, I do feel guilty. I guess I feel that if I ate all my calories for that day, I could have done a little better and stayed under my calories more to help myself even more. :)

    Nope! I eat my exercise cals, too. I earned them, and I'll enjoy them. :)

    Not guilty as such but I don't like eating them all just in case I get hungry later & wish I had some left.
    Has been a year and so far I've never needed those 'spare' cal's but that's probably because I know they're there if I want them and that, in a reverse psychology kinda way I guess, stops me using them.
    It's a head thing.

    Not in the least. Sometimes I even eat more...don't feel guilty about that either.

    Not really.

    I struggle to get to my calorie goal though, but it's about 2700-2900 calories per day now.

    Nope, I don't feel guilty for eating my calories. I'm not scared to eat either...as in..I'm not stressing on hoarding my calories "just in case" or feeling bad for that candy bar.

    I used to in the very beginning. But not any more. I mean, I am eating at a 25% calorie deficit in reference to my TDEE. So if I eat LESS than all my calories, the deficit is closer to 30% which is too high of a deficit to safely lose weight.

    But when I was a beginner at all this back when I was obese, I was all like "Oh crap, I shouldn't have eaten that much cause I'm gong to get fatter." Logic wasn't my biggest thing back then, lol.

    Pretty much. Why would you feel guilty for eating the number of calories you are supposed to be eating? That doesn't make any rational sense.

    I feel bad if I've wasted them on crap rather than nice healthy stuff, but not for eating the amount set out. I see it as a target to hit rather than something to eat under.

    I guess there aren't very many of us that do feel guilty about it, but yes i sometimes do. i know i am allowed a certain amount and i should use them, but i always tend to try and leave some, if i don't i want to exercise to give myself extra...i am working on not worrying about it so much tho.

    I like to keep a few left for "just in case" at end of day. I don't feel too bad being plus/minus 100 cal., but no more!!!
