    Today I overate at breakfast / morning snack and that leaves me a fairly small calorie amount for the rest of the day.

    Just curious for any advice on how people try to fix their days when they've already messed up early on. I've gotta resist just giving in and saying "oh well, it was a bad day, might as well eat whatever I want"!

    I don't have time to work out today since I'm grabbing drinks with friends later. So far my only plan is to distract my taste buds with tea and gum, and trying to have veggies at dinnertime...

    As long as you know what's important to you. That's what counts.

    That's a bit rude... Do you know OP or the reasoning behind that statement? Maybe she exercises every day, but today she has friends coming from out of town that she hasn't seen in years and has only 1 day to see them. Maybe it's a one-time thing. Don't get up on a soapbox just because you've lost a ton of weight and others struggle.

    Interesting that you took text that has zero emotion and added your own. One little sentence and now there's a soapbox?

    No where in that statement was there judging or lectures or anything of that nature...as long as the OP knows what's important, that's what counts. Maybe the statement meant that meeting with friends is important or that living life is important. Of course, if one were to add more to that statement that happened to be judgmental, it would be along the lines of, fine, don't work out and go see your friends, but it would probably be best if you didn't have drinks and just ordered water. But, the fact of the matter is, none of that was said or even implied.

    Ironically, I find your comment rude and judgmental.
    If that is what was meant, then I do apologize. I'm sorry for being cynical and judgmental. I guess I read it in a sarcastic manner since that's how the majority of people on these forums respond to posts like this.

    To be honest, it was an open ended response. I didn't mean anything negative or positive. It was more about the OP realizing what was important to them. If it's drinks with friends, so be it, if it's weight loss, more power to them, if it's both...that's even better. I am, and can be very sarcastic and I can be cynical, and I could easily have said more, but in the end, it's really up to the individual to realize what is important to them and how to fit that into their goals.
