    Like others have said, go have a nice walk and a salad for dinner. Don't starve yourself just because of a slip this morning - you know now for future reference and we all have small slips sometimes :)

    Tomorrow is a new day!

    Yup...it's a learning experience. Now you know and you can just keep moving forward. Just get right back on track and today will be nothing more than a minor bump in the road. Nothing debilitating at all.

    Thanks for all the support & excellent advice, because I was so busy beating myself up I realized that I forgot to log my gym time this morning (490 calories burned)! Yay for dinner, & yay for kind words & great people.

    I did exactly the same thing with onion rings - i had about 20 on a total binge - clocked them up on mfp and theyre 56000000 calories :)

    but if you starve tonight you'll want a huge breakfast sooo bad in the morning.

    my favourite meal so far is salad and chicken fillet - and i make sure to eat vegetables first - so anything i leave will be the highest calorie food.

    It happens, you live and learn - dont beat yourself up about it x

    You know what totally shocked me? Tim Hortons Timbits. I thought having 3-4 was not so bad an idea! Turns out it destroys like 1/4 of my daily total, depending on what type I pick. No more commercially baked stuff for this girl!

    I can totally sympathize / empathize. I will be enjoying lettuce for dinner this evening thanks to my impulsive stop at McDonalds at lunch followed by a Snickers bar. :sad:

    I'm not really having lettuce, but I'm definitely going to have to work a little harder and choose very carefully for my big 200 calories I have left. I'm thinking grilled Tilapia, a nice big salad, and maybe half of a whole-grain dinner roll.

    It's definitely an eye-opener. I'm just hoping that one day I'll learn from it. (probably not) Don't worry though. It's just one day. Tomorrow will be better. :smile:

    LOL!!! That's a lot of treadmill time.:noway:

    My biggest realization was Wendy's Frostys...I got a large thinking, "Oh it's just chocolate fluffy stuff..." and then I logged it and it was 640 calories. HOLY CRAP!! So, no more large Frostys for me. :cry:

    Yes I got a rude awakening when I began logging my calories and realised how much calorie wise I was eating, it didn't seem like a lot of food but was all the wrong food. Now when I go out for coffee and cake with a friend I make it my breakfast or lunch, I don't have it between breakfast and lunch (like I used to) because it has the calories of them both put together! And I do a bit of exercise too to keep within my calories for the day.

    What on earth did you eat for breakfast that was 2000 calories and you can only eat something made of water with no nutritional value for dinner? And the diet Pepsi makes this whole "correct the situation" solution worse.. idgi

    1/2 a sausage croissanwich, 1/2 a bacon crissanwich (bf & I split two different ones) small hash browns & a carton of orange juice. My calorie goal for the day is 1390 (MFP setting for losing 2 lbs a week)....and you are so right about the Diet Pepsi making things worse. It added to my already enormous sodium count and since I haven't had soda in over a month, contributed to the icky tummy feel.

    ^^ A couple of weeks ago I had a salad at Outback that was 890 calories!! I knew getting the "crispy" chicken wasn't the best choice, but figured the rest was (relatively) good for me.......wrong. :sad:

    What amazes me the most is that the food is supposed to be government regulated, and considerd nutritious, that's what's sick. I'm so thankful that I found MFP I would've continued to doom myself daily for lack of knowledge on how much calories/sodium/sugar really is in most foods :sick:

    Honestly, when I slip up (and it happens. We are humans and not machines), I simply eat the rest of the day as normal. One day won't suddenly stop all of my progress and I KNOW I will feel worse later on when I am hungry and cranky.

    Went down the same path today myself! Had a chipotle carnitas burrito bowl for lunch figuring it was better tha BK, McDs, etc. almost 700 calories cuz I said yes to cheese and sour cream!! We learn from these experiences and go forward. Dinner tonite is tofu and veggies!

    Yes, get some exercise and don't starve for dinner. My WW leader always told us "don't make up for eating too much by starving. Get right back on track the very next meal." Otherwise you set yourself up for a binge then starve cycle - not good, and no fun either.

    My chipotle lunch came in just under the veggie burrito ONLY cuz i chose a bowl and not the tortilla!! It's so very deceiving! On a positive note, my fiber count was way up due to the black beans LOL !

    This is so easy to do! My tip to stop it happening again, (with any foods) is to log in advance! I've started deciding what I'm having the next day the night before and logging it all in mfp, this means I can make sure I match my goals, I ban myself from having anything not already logged and if I do I have to go through the sad time of adding it on and watching all my numbers go red! Doing this also means that I'm getting better at preparing my lunch (egg/ham/chicken salads on protein veg days, and meat with low fat diary/eggs on protein only days) which is brilliant becuase if I didn't have a packed lunch i would cave at uni and go to the cafe and buy a baguette because I can't last long without eating! I'm banned from carbs, avoiding sodium and avoiding fat so if I don't bring food with me it is incredibly hard to get something out that fits in my dukan guidelines!
