If I happen to have an unexpected night out with friends, drink a tad over my calories, and log it, I do not need snarky comments from other people about it. It just makes me want to close my diary. That is my rant.

    Life happens but unfortunately, not for everyone.

    Agreed. That is crap!

    Go out, have fun. That's part of life and if you can't go out and have fun once in a while, then what is the point? Personally, I am here to make myself happier, and healthier. Denying myself a good time with friends is NOT on my list of goals!

    Edit to say, Love all the pet pics!!!!

    Agree with poster above and let's remember, these "friends" are really complete strangers (usually) so why bother with folks who make snarky comments. Delete them and move on.

    This. You were honest and logged your splurges. That's a win in my book.

    I would delete them as "friends." You need support not nastiness.

    Kristy, those people are the ones that you take with a grain of salt. You ARE allowed to have a life and have fun. Never worry about that. You are doing fine!!!!

    Yup!
    I'm not on MFP to learn how to be perfect. I'm on MFP to learn how my imperfections don't have to affect my health and fitness goals. Occasionally going over your calorie goal for the day is not a big deal. It's just life. :smile:

    You need better friends. I have over 300 and no one criticizes me about what I eat. I have one veggie nazi on my list but I love her so it's okay with me :laugh:

    I have never had anyone comment on my diary. If someone did I would probably just ignore them unless they were being rude then I would definitely delete them.

    I go over my calories on the weekends. It happens. That is life and we can't live in a hole for the rest of it because we want to lose weight.

    Being "perfect" would drive anyone mad.

    Luckily my friends never judge my indulgences, nor do I theirs.

    I enjoy seeing that people have fun every now and then.

    I agree that at least you log it honestly! I've had 3,000 calorie Saturdays and I log them. It's for me. A record of everything I've done since joining this site. A way to look back and figure out what went right and figure out what went wrong.

    You're being human. I raise my glass to you :) Don't let anyone push their "perfect" IEATWITHINMYCALSEVERYDAMNDAY lifestyle on you. If it works for them, awesome. I know it doesn't for me.

    I guess some folks just don't get that living healthy is a "Lifestyle"... key word being LIFE.

    You are entitled to a night of fun now and then, it's what makes the hard work of being healthy worthwile..

    Thumb your nose at the nay sayers and just keep on truckin sistah!

    I keep my diary closed for these very reasons.

    Let's see, you are eating at what...a 500 calorie deficit or more? Going slightly over a "goal" will not hurt anything in the least. You are still eating at a deficit. But you know, even if you ate over your maintenance for one day it wouldn't hurt you. I am proud of you for eating, drinking and logging it. All we can do is just keep moving forward. I am with the majority on this one. Might need new friends if those types of comments become a habit. One time snarky comment, I would forgive them, twice- I would still forgive them, then delete them and move on!
