Fell off the wagon yesterday

Only worry about today & tomorrow, yesterday is in the rearview mirror...don't look back.
Don't fast, just go back to your normal routine.0 -
It must've been in the air... I too had a bad weekend, just letting myself overeat. I didn't go too too crazy but that's because I put the brakes on (sometimes)... It could have been way worse.
I did have two days in a row (Friday and Saturday) where I consumed processed bread... one not so good white "bun" and then the 9-grain Honey Oat from Subway.
Too much too much too much.
I'm here to say that this too will pass and I will continue on and so shall you. Hope your food fog ends soon so you're feeling better!0 -
I was on vacation last week and I ate over 25,000 calories for the week where I normally eat around 18,000/week. And they were not good calories(burgers, fries, ice cream). It's not a big deal. The key is not worrying about the past.0

Well, actually, it was more like I jumped. I usually eat 1450 cal and most of the time I am under, but yesterday, tsk tsktsk. I ate and ate and ate. Of course I didn't want everyone to view my diary for the day but I was curious about how many calories and fat and all that were actually consumed, so I starting putting down everycrumb and I almost fell off my seat! I had 4300 calories! It was WHAT I ate more than how much. I haven't had any butter or bread since I started back on here and barely any sugar but I had a lot of high calorie food and sugar and fat and sodium yeserday. I am back on track today but I feel soooo sick and like, in a mental fog this morning. I feel hungover! I realy don't feel like I could eat another bite today. Would that be fine to fast today- I am not going to force myself to eat anything today if 'm not hungry...
It was Canadian Thanksgiving yesterday....You are supposed to overeat on Thanksgiving. Write it off and get back on track today.0 -
I drank a bottle of wine yesterday. Yep. A bottle. Today I'll get in a good run and stay under for the day. No worries. :happy:0

I totally fell off the wagon too - I just stopped counting, but I think I was 1500+over. But this weekend was our Thanksgiving, so I guess that's a good reaons to have a blow out. Now, I figure it's time to get back on the wagon and move on. As the others said, yesterday is over, just concentrate on today! Fasting will not change the past.
BTW, I find I feel almost 'hungover' too when I have an 'over' day, even sometimes as low as 500 calories over, so it makes me less inclined to do it again any time soon

Some studies actually suggest "shocking" your body with large calorie intake (more than it's used to), to prevent plateauing. Just like you would vary exercises so your body does not get used to it.
Smile, carry on and be good today (that means extra exercise and watch your calorie intake).0 -

My yesterday looked a lot like yours did, but you still have to eat; just within your normal calorie goal. losing weight is easier when you still allow yourself to eat what you like moderately. (HOWEVER; there are some things I can't eat moderately and i choose not to start, lol) but it'll help prevent binges to still treat yourself. good luck0 -
Urges happen. As many have said, just get back on plan. I wouldn't bother fasting. I know Thanksgiving (US) and Christmas are going to be a couple tough days. But, I'll enjoy a couple days without guilt and move on because they will only be a couple days. Just consider it a night out.
The question to ask yourself, however, is what triggered the 'jump'? Why? That might help you learn from the experience.
And, most important: you didn't just quit. Good on you!0 -
Maybe it's in the fall air....Been craving sugar and bread really bad lately...having a hard time...0

Well 4000 calories equils a pound. So now you know how we all got to being over weight so easily in the first place. fast and get all the yuk out of your system is not a bad thing, but know you also learned why we all felt like crap eating that stuff our whole lives. Take it as a lesson learned.:huh:
So with that being said, I say burn the wagon, you dont need it anymore.:smokin:0 -
If you don't feel like eating today, I wouldn't. But... if you're at all hungry later, eat a little something. Just don't force it. Fasting today won't make up for yesterday, necessarily... but, just keep moving forward from here. One day is not falling off the wagon. I would call it "turned around". But... you'll get back on track. There's so many people here that can help keep you motivated. You got this.
Don't look too much at one day. It's the whole process you need to worry about. Don't make yesterday an everyday occurance... but, don't beat yourself up too bad, either. You'll do just fine. 0 -
I've been known to enjoy chocolate fountains and all you can eat buffets, but you know, sometimes you need to indulge. It might set you back a few days, but weight loss isn't a race, it's learning experience. Just right your ship and carry on.
