    This weekend I went on a girls' only weekend to the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC. We did a lot of walking, but also quite a bit of unhealthy eating. I can't do anything about this weekend, but I can do better beginning tomorrow. And I will do better! :smile:

    Had a couple of slices of pizza.. had a couple of little desert items I shouldn't have. Not too bad. Will be better tomorrow and once I get back to the gym it will be better.

    I'm not on a diet. I'm just eating an appropriate amount of reasonably healthy foods. Not being on a diet makes it way easier to not go off of it.

    Honestly, I hate this mentally: the idea that there are things that are "on" and things that are "off" and if I eat something "off," I've somehow done something bad. I eat plenty of indulgent things all the time, and sometimes I go over my calories, and it's no big deal, because the next day I won't. You don't magically gain ten pounds because you had a slice of cake or a few extra slices of pizza. You gain weight through a continual pattern of poor eating and lack of exercise. Focusing on the big pictures makes it a lot easier to maintain a healthy lifestyle long term.

    Totally this.
    I can guarantee that most of those who consider this 'a diet' and who view themselves as having done something bad, or having failed, each time they go over this manmade calorie goal, or eat something less than 100% natural, will be the ones crawling back to mfp, saying they regained most or all of the weight.

    Both of these ^^^^^^^^ So very true!

    Same here! No diet here, this is my lifestyle, and there is no "cheating" or "going off" of a diet. I just ate three delicious slices of pizza for dinner, and it fits in my day. I also had burgers this week, and dessert a few times. I also had grilled chicken and veggies, brown rice, fresh fruit, Greek yogurt, oatmeal, eggs, etc....

    No falling off any wagons, no stopping or starting, no cheating or failing - been eating this way (basically in between my BMR and TDEE) for over a year and have had my best success with losing fat and dropping pounds during this time. And I logged my 635th consecutive day on MFP yesterday - I think I've developed a habit. :bigsmile:

    I don't consider this a diet. Rather, I try to eat in healthier ways while still working in less healthy foods that I love within my macros and calorie deficit.

    That being said, it was my graduation so I ate quite a lot more than I normally would. I'm not too concerned though. It's important to have a balance between weight loss/getting in shape and going out and having fun.

    I intended to and ended up below my calorie goal anyway. Maybe tomorrow.
