    Can't believe it, but I just made it (barely) under my calories. We had a nice, big Easter dinner, but I stopped myself before I ate too much. I hate that overstuffed feeling, and I'm learning to avoid it now. Technically it's my JMBR off day, but I did the cardio DVD because I needed the burn.

    A little over my allotment, but stayed away from all sweets, no chocolate and no desserts, but too much dinner. Also did not get walk in, but tomorrow is a new day and plan to be diligent and back on track.

    I planned my calories before the meal and stuck to them. I was 95% sure I would have a binge!

    A net of 1663 . . . which is not too bad at all (especially considering that involved a 1/2 cup of peanut M&Ms).

    6AM work out at the gym. Easter lunch followed up with a Easter dinner. Not a good diet day. I will do better tomorrow!

    Not really. I knew Easter was coming.... its been on the calendar for months :wink: so I ate a deficit for several days last week.:flowerforyou:

    I did eat a ton of crap I typically wouldn't eat but it was guilt-free and delicious!:drinker:

    I was a mess this entire weekend. I think I have eaten 10000 more calories than I should have. It was Easter, and my wife's birthday celebration. I was 170 on Thursday (lost 60 lbs over the course of the year) and today I am 183.

    I feel terrible. I will be right back on my plan tomorrow, but I hope this craziness I put myself through doesn't keep me at this weight.

    Nope...although my parents did look at me strange when I went digging for a scale and measuring cup to bring to the table. I gotta say this was the most bloat free, headache free Easter ever! I certainly made sure I had some of everything though.

    Oh no, does this mean the end of my annual Thanksgivingpassedoutonthefloorfullofstuffing time? Yip.

    Don't worry, you didn't pack on 13 lbs of fat in a weekend. It's probably water and will come back off this week.

    If it was only 10,000 then at most you only permanently gained a little under 3 lbs.

    I overate by around the same, and I am a female, and live alone, so I had none of the excuses you did, lol. All chocolate calories.
    Dont think I have ever gained 13 Ibs immediately though from it. My worst was 5 Ibs overnight after eating 2 loaves of bakery fruit bread. It wont all be genuine weight, you should see it drop off over the coming days as long as you get back on track and drink plenty of water. A big dump will sort some of it out too.

    It was going to be a no but it turned into a yes :bigsmile: didn't regret it one bit! I love chocolate.
    ETA: I just finished logging and I was exactly at my TDEE for Easter. Cool.
