Food Orgy

Well, now I've done it. We had our Annual Christmas food orgy here at work today. I think I have eaten double my daily allowance of calories in the last two hours. I think I am about to go into a fudge coma. And now I feel guilty, cause I am afraid that this day is going to just destroy all of my hard work all year long. Why am I such a sheep when someone waves their chocolate covered mini-tacos in front of my face. I can't eat just one...I have to eat them over and over and over. And what kills me is that I have worked so hard all year...and now all that work is wasted. I guess I should just quit, because I am a nutritional failure. My weight loss journey has hit a stone wall today. What should I do???

    GAH!!? @BlackStar-Never had a Chocolate Taco??? Anyway to the OP: if you have worked that hard then you deserve a little chocolate! I don't think one day of overeating is going to cause an internal apocolypse! :happy:

    Remember...It's not what you eat between Thanksgiving and the New Year that makes you fat, it's what you eat between New Years and Thanksgiving that does.

    Get back on the train, One day is not going to destroy your weight loss for ever. We all have those days, especially around this time of year. Good luck

    I agree with ectd ^ but I know what you mean. Office party food orgys are never a good environment. But I'd like a Choco taco I've never had one either!

    Don't give up...it's just one day and is not the end. The same thing is happening here and I'm diving in with Gusto.

    Let's just say it's a good thing this is a Food Orgy or I would need an appointment with the doctor next week.

    It's one day - give yourself a break. Fit in an extra workout today, and begin again tomorrow. You've rocked it all year - be proud of yourself. :flowerforyou:

    Today will not destroy the hard work of a year unless you let it. Just let the moment be over, forgive yourself for being human and having a moment of weakness, and move forward with the rest of the plan. Or as Scarlett O'Hara would say...tomorrah is anotha day...

    Remember the fact that it takes 3500 calories above your daily requirement to gain one pound of fat. You didn't eat that much so you are golden. One day of indulgence is not the end of the healthy world. Just do better tomorrow. Giving up is not allowed.

    In the past two weeks, between final exams for graduate school, office parties for work, the "we're all back in the same general area"with friends party and being at my parents who always stalk up on junk for the holidays and when us kids will be home...
    I've eaten like a package and a half of oreo's, at least a dozen home made chocolate chip cookies, a package of mini peanut butter cups, an entire pizza, a handle of alcohol and like 2 family sized tubs of hummus and an entire batch of home-made enchilada's.

    I'm staying away from the scale but I've probably put on a couple pounds doing this over the course of 14 days.

    Moral of the story is 1 day isn't going to kill you

    Also I'm 5'2 and 113 pounds and a girl and I'm dealing with achilles and patella tendonitis issues so my exercise is limited. So I'm sure your TDEE is A LOT higher than mine. If I ate 2000 calories (500 over maintenance) a day (which I have been) I'd gain about a pound a week. That's a lot of days to be over your goal

    Weight loss and weight gain actually are both gradual. One day or on week of crappy eating isn't going to derail your progress anymore then 1 day or 1 week of perfect eating would cause you to lose weight.
