So I just started dieting 4 days ago and today I ate pizza, it was 4 slices and I feel terrible about it D: It was mushroom stuffed crust, I didn't exactly go over my calories today and I exercised as well but it feels as though I'm cheating already. When do you guys feel guilty about what you ate? And was it okay for me to eat a stuffed crust pizza 4 days into dieting even though I exercised for the day and didn't go over my calories?

I know this sounds like a stupid or attention post, but I am serious about it, I feel guilty lol Should I or am I overdoing it?

    Eat it, log it, and move on. Don't order pizza again tomorrow.

    You are on day 4 of the rest of your life. Your numbers look good, so you are fine. And the days when your numbers don't look good, you wake up the next day and make different choices. :-)

    ETA: And if it makes you feel any better, I just enjoyed a fabulous peanut butter sandwich for a bedtime snack! YUMMY!!!!

    If you didn't go over your calories...what is it you feel guilty about? Actually eating something you like? No need to feel guilty. Food is not the enemy. NO food.

    It happens..part of the journey. The good thing is you stayed in your calories and exercised.

    I agree...it isn't sensible for daily eating but occasionally it is not a big deal.

    I always feel guilty.......

    I had pizza today too, homemade pepperoni. Yummy.

    I have lost more weight then intended and ate pizza every Friday night during the weight loss process. Friday night is always homemade pizza night at our house. I am not giving up tradition. :)

    I live on campus and eat pizza almost every day because it is the only decent food the cafeteria serves that I can force into my mouth. As long as you limit yourself to one slice (or two on a good day when you're not snacking much), it's just fine to have pizza. :)

    Yummy!
    I feel terrible about it

    Why? It's food. You didn't donkeypunch a nun, you ate pizza. Get a grip.

    , I didn't exactly go over my calories today and I exercised as well

    Then congrats! You will lose weight if you continue this.

    but it feels as though I'm cheating already.

    Eating pizza and hitting your nutritional targets is not cheating. It's called winning. Congrats on being a baller.

    When do you guys feel guilty about what you ate?

    Never.

    But hypothetically let's say I went into a senior home and they were serving tacos, and Leonard was sitting next to his oxygen tank, about to take a bite of his taco, and I slapped him in the back of the head, knocking the taco into the air, whence I catch said taco and take a bite.....

    I'd feel guilty.

    Other than that, no.

    Did someone say pizza? No seriously though, if it fits in your calories range don't feel guilty. It's definitely a plus that you worked out Eating at a calories deficient plus exercising will equal weightloss!! :D

    Well said. It happens to all of us and its ok to splurge from time to time. Dont feel guilty, just move on and eat healthy and get back on plan. Its ok really!

    I eat whatever I want daily, as long as it fits under my calorie goal. Occasionally I go over my calories. I've lost 27 pounds since August.

    If you didn't go over your calories, guess what? It's not cheating! You are still going to lose weight.

    No food is banned, just focus on your calorie counts. I just finished up an ice cream and there is no guilt whatsoever.

    Good nutrition is important and there is nothing wrong with a splurge every now and again.

    If eating food makes you feel guilty, you need to seek counseling, as that's a very unhealthy mental state.
