I ate 3 donuts today

Don't beat yourself up over it. 3 donuts won't kill all the hard work you've put in. You can do this!!

Maybe next time don't go as long before you allow yourself a little treat. That way you don't over indulge and you stay on track! Good luck!!!

Iv done that so many times i cant count lol Just get back on the horse and dont eat 3 donuts again for a very long time if you want to get to your goals... dont beat yourself up about it though.

thats bc its virtually impossible to eat just one

Dude, stop eating donuts. You're on a diet.

........seriously?

ANYWAY, to OP:
It's okay! We all have those days. I mean, today I had cupcakes...but the thing is, I allow myself to have cheat days every now and then. If I didn't, I'd go crazy and wouldn't be able to stay on track. Plus, not much you can do about it now! Tomorrow is a new day, so just take it one grain at a time..and work extra hard at the gym on your next visit

Thank you, This is the first time I am dieting & I am not sure if its supposed to give u a ton of craving. Trying to maintain my calorie count around 1700 with clean calories, but when I see delicious stuff, It drives me crazy.

Do you eat back any of your exercise calories? If not, maybe you need to, periodically, to give yourself some wiggle room for the occasional donut. For me, it would be ice cream -- normally, i leave it alone, but every so often, it's an ice cream kind of a day. If it doesn't fit in my count for that day, I work out a bit longer the next day. Treats are fine (and keep you sane)... it's when they're the bulk of your calories that you've got to worry.

Don't beat yourself up. Those donuts are sneaky, being all in your face and delicious

Hay don't sweat it, everyone slips up you will get back on your track, the more you stress the more you will gain so just get up and go again.

i've been craving a donut for weeks now!! i have lots of trouble with cravings, don't feel so alone. i think i better eat one so i don't eat 6!!!!!!

Throw in some extra cardio to burn off the carbs and sugars. Chances are you're at a deficit and while it may seem like an extreme indulgence, it probably hasn't hurt you in the long run. Just don't let it shred your resolve, don't beat yourself up about it, and don't use it as an excuse to binge. Good luck!

wuss....i just downed an entire pint of ben and jerrys cookie dough ice cream.....not guilty i did it on purpose and fit it in my macros its called living not dieting try it some time stop hiding from good food

Were they Krispy Kreme? If they were I don't blame you. The glaze is to amazing

I can so relate with you! I often wake up in the middle of the night craving something and have done the same thing. I am in the beginning of my journey, and I know I am not going to eat perfectly everyday. What is perfect? I try to focus on the moment, what am I eating right now? What healthy choice can I make right now? Is something bothering me emotionally that I feel like I need comfort? Don't beat yourself off, you are human. Just move on from here!

I agree, once in awhile a donut is a nice treat. I had 2 mini apple cider donuts a few weeks ago, and although I wanted many more, they really hit the spot.
The important bit is to get right back at it, and don't let 3 turn into another 3. You got this!

Its ok to indulge every now and again. Every week I give myself a "cheat meal" this way i eat what I have been having a craving for. Works great for me and better than a whole day of cheating. I agree with the comment above about not going so long before indulging...and you can always toss some extra cardio in the week or day you know your cheat meal is coming up or after you have that donut. Also look on the web for skinny sweets if you just have to have something at home...I know I do and I dont eat them everyday but those 100 cal packs of cookies give me the sweetness and curb my craving without blowing my diet plan. Hope it helps
