Need Encouragement!!!

Are you kidding me?! Do you realize just how many cals you burned just walking around that humongous place? If only you had worn a pedometer, you'd see that it's all even...........I bet.

All that excitement and :laugh: laughing works double time....& any time you spend with loved ones is WAY more important than any scale can measure!

I'm so happy for you

First off congrads on your wt loss already! Second, I bet if you think about it even though you went over board I bet you still made better choices than you would have a few months ago going on the same trip?

Third, Life is something you should enjoy that includes food. I bet you had an awesome time with your family thats what really matters. tomarrow just start where you left off. Most people will tell you who have been on this journey for a while that its not when you fall off the wagon that matters; its that you get back on and get fully commited again after it happens. Make sure you drink pleanty of water and the 1 bad day wont matter in the long run.

Good luck

Not to rain on the parade, but I don't understand why everyone is enabling?? i don't get it. I thought you wanted encouragement, and all Iread was it's ok it's just one day, don't worry about it, you had a great time. I'm not trying to be a bummer. But you have to understand that in order to be successful in your new lifestyle change that you need to do just that. There is a reason we all at one point were/are heavy, because we made excuses for our poor choices. You know you messed up and you know it wasn;t ok, because you posted on the forum, Telling you it's all good and you probably won't gain weight, is just helping to make excuses and enabling the behaviour. You have to gain control over your eating, and you have to make better choices. I'm all for a cheat meal, but not an entire cheat day. If you allow yourself enough wiggle room to satisfy your cravings of junk or whatever it may be then you'll have no guilt associated to the food when you do eat it, then day by day you slowly edge it out of your diet. I'm sorry but I won't tell you it's ok, Even though you walked a ton today it's a bad habit to get into. Hoping that the exercise will compensate for the calories you take in. I'd pack snacks next time that are healthy, and allow yourself one cheat food on a day like that. How much fun do you really have at the end of the day when you feel like crap for eating poorly?? i really hope i'm not coming accross harsh on this, cause it's not menat to be. I just see post after post where people are saying that it's ok..it's just one day...what happens when that turns into 2, 3 a week...you have to be the one in control, not the food, don't let it win, your body and your health are way more important then any junk that your body may think it wants/needs. Trust me, the feeling that you will get, when you successfully go out and are able to control what you eat is amazing. You can do it, just believe in yourself, and have a game plan going in, snacks ready, drinks ready, research ahead of time what healthy foods may be availble, and stick to it, you'll feel so much better. Good luck.
