    Just work it into your calories as much as possible and maybe do some extra exercise. Not a big deal. It's that guilt and then binging later because you think you "blew it" that will get you in trouble.

    Why regret it? It sounds like you enjoyed it. Just enjoy it and move on. McDonalds every once in a while isn't going to hurt you. It's the regret that actually hurts us.

    Oh my; Mcdonald's. Really? Next time splurge on something really super-duper good. One little indulgence won't derail your good efforts.

    You don't have to be perfect. You just have to have more good days than bad days over time. Don't beat yourself up, tomorrow is a new day, just move on and keep your eye on the prize.

    I also went to Mcdonalds today becasue my mum wanted to go, so I just chose something that I thought would be least damaging in the fat content and chose a

    Garlic and Herb Chicken Snack Wrap - 350 cals

    Psht. I have McDonalds once a week. SH! DON'T TELL ANYONE HERE! They'll tear me apart.

    The rest of the time I eat clean. That once a week McDonalds is a special treat with my mom. :) And damned if I don't enjoy it.

    Fit it into your calories. I suspect the reason many people have a hard time losing weight is that they deny themselves foods that they enjoy. Even the bad stuff (and I hate McDs) isn't going to kill you or derail your plans as long as it's only now and again.

    Just work it into your daily intake, it'll be OK. And next time choose something far better than McDonalds if you want to splurge!

    Not a big deal---log it on your diary and go from there. It's the consistency that matters not your occasional lapses. Just keep going and choose your indulgences. Once in awhile isn't going to affect your results unless you get caught up in the guilt and totally derail yourself. :)

    ^^This...actually I think is a vital part of success. Mistakes happen. Do the right thing (log it) and move on. Forgive yourself for not keeping to your goals.

    I didn't have McDonalds for a few months, then had it twice in one week a month ago, and both times, I immediately felt sick. I had around 10 french fries, and my stomach already felt woozy, and I started to get a headache.

    Don't be too hard on yourself. You won't ruin your progress with one bad meal, just like you can't make good progress with one good meal.

    I had McDonald's Saturday night just before running a 5k. It was soooooo good. I was good and only got a Cheeseburger Happy Meal (420 cals), but even that satisfied my craving just enough. I didn't beat myself up over it. I knew I was going to be running 3 miles and I fit it in. Now... the beer I had after the race threw me into the red for my daily calories LOL. But I was under Sunday and yesterday. As long as you get right back on the horse, you'll be fine.

    It was only one meal...it's ok!! Don't feel guilty or regret it...accept it and move on. We all have our "splurges" and fall off the wagon at some point or another. The important thing is to get back on track with the next meal and just keep it movin'! :flowerforyou:

    THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MCDONALDS.

    Do you think fine french cuisine with lard infused foods is healthier than nutritionaly healthy mcdonalds meal?

    its obese who overeat give mcdonalds a bad name

    I eat it and have ice cream and other treats too, no biggie, you have to live. I stay on track with calories all week and on the weekend I indulge in some treats but I try to stay close to calorie goal, I am losing!
