I've been waiting for Thanksgiving for so long. I ate a lot on Thanksgiving but it's been two days now and I feel so guilty. :sad:

Not in the slightest0

Nope, no guilt. I ate what I ate, it was a lot and it was glorious. I was back in the gym and eating right the next day....0
-
nope sure dont... woke up yesterday worked out... woke up this morning and worked out and will do the same tomorrow0
-
Nope no guilty. It's not like I'm on a diet or anything, just a lot more sensible about portion control.0

Why the guilt?
This is supposed to be a lifestyle change and you still have to live in the real world. If you feel guilt for a day of indulgence with family and friends then this is more like a punishment plan and food is a guilty indulgence rather than a fact of life. Our social culture does tend to revolve around food to an extent and it's ok to moderate most of the time and indulge infrequently without the guilt.
Lettuce is not a corporal punishment and cake is not a reward. They are both food and both appropriate at different times.0 -
No need to feel guilty. I worked out in the morning which helped me stay under my calorie goal:)0

I know this is easier said than done, but try to let the guilt go. Part of having a healthy relationship with food is to not feel guilty after eating, even when you do not eat so stellar. It is one day...you should enjoy it! It is a lifestyle change and being healthy is a lifelong journey.....just pick up and keep moving forward on your healthy journey...and remember, detours will happen!0

Not at all. I ate 4,700 calories, did not work out for them and enjoyed every single calorie.0

why? is it adding to your life in some way? enriching?0

no guilt, a bit puffy though! Lol ~ Corina0

Why would I feel guilty? I did exactly what I planned to do.0
-
Not one bit. I ate good but did not go nuts. I had what I wanted and even seconds. Two days later still at the same weight as before Thanksgiving.0
-
I feel guilty that I was too busy obsessing about calories and food to enjoy time with my family.0
-
No guilt here- I ate more than usual and things I dont usually eat, then next day back to my norm & exercise..0
-
Don't feel guilty but of course I try not to go ove my maintenance, but i did have a small piece of apple pie (only for the holiday )
All that sugar is gotta be bad, even though i feel guilty about that0 -
Nope and not for the two days after either:)0
-
Nope and I ate two big meals along with some pie. Didn't work out the day after. Weighed into today and only gained less than a pound. Winning.0
-
Nope and I ate 2000 calories over! As long as you are usually good who cares, it's one stinking day0
-
I'll feel better when I lose the 2 pounds I gained. The only thing that bothers me (not necessarily guilty, just bothered) is that I ate things I didn't even want and didn't like, just because I felt I had to (as a guest). It's a mindset that I haven't changed yet, but I'm working on it!0

Why would you feel guilty? Is it because you feel sorry for the turkey?0
