    I was so hungry and ended up eating more than I should and not very good stuff. Today I'm back on it, but I can't afford to have days like that anymore. What do you guys do on days that you're hungry and tired that keeps you focused on your diet?

    Got some good news for ya, you can't blow a meal plan (diet is a bad word) in one day. We all fall off the wagon. If you want do an extra 10 - 15 min / day on the treadmill for one week, I bet you will feel better about yourself. if you don't already.

    Drink water. Sometimes we think we are hungry, when really we are just thirsty. Go for a walk. Sometimes we eat out of stress or boredom and need something to distract us. Whatever you do, it's done and over, so don't beat yourself up about yesterday. Today is your new day. >hugz<

    You're going to be hungry sometimes. Just count your calories and deal with it.

    I agree with this. I've started to not really enjoy the feeling of hunger occasionally, but it doesn't really bother me anymore. You can also try intermittent fasting which can help with satiety.

    A day won't kill ya. Sure you'll do a little damage, but having days like that is perfectly normal, don't beat yourself up over it.

    Half the reason we all diet and exercise is to enjoy these kind of things and live long enough to continue enjoying them. Don't sweat the small stuff, you're fine, you'll have days like that again, don't fret them, enjoy them!

    Hadn't thought about it that way. Good point. Akin to saving all sorts of money and not having the time or energy to spend it. Tomorrow, we begin again, until the next time.

    Better to blow your diet than your drug dealer

    Don't blow on the blow, man.
    A day in the life of a diet..screw the diet it's a life change.

    IT happens! "bad" days, celebrations, holidays, we ALL have them. Just don't do it EVERY day or even MOST days. You can always make up for it by eating leaner or exercising a little more the next day. ONE day isn't going to derail the whole process.

    If you're doing this correctly, you shouldn't be hungry. If you are hungry, EAT! Your body is trying to tell you something. Just be sure it's real hunger and not just boredom. Go do something, if you are still hungry, 30-60 minutes later, you should definitely eat something.

    Well for me...there's no diet. So I don't look at it as though I blew anything. Bad eating day, yeah, for sure. Record my calories and make sure it doesn't happen again any time soon. Eventually it will, and that's fine as long as there are more good days then there are bad days.

    :) no worries.

    ^^^ This...well said :-)

    how bad was it? let's see that diary... usually on this site, when people think they blew their diet and feel so terrible, they're still within their maintenance calories.

    I actually didn't get a chance to put it in since I was gone all day and night and didn't get back til after midnight. I was working a double shift and after the first 12 hours I didn't care what I ate. I think I ate a bag of m&ms and a bag of doritos and a 6 inch subway sandwich, the sandwich was actually pretty healthy.
