QFT. If this is an indication of what the message boards are going to look like today, then I am outta here.

This thread is a comedy goldmine. I laughed all the way through the OP but the replies from the people who only read that, didn't realize it is a joke post then obviously skipped the other posts and are still giving heartfelt advice and encouragement 4 pages later are even more hilarious. Well played, OP.

What? You have done so great! You have lost 32 lbs!!! Don't beat yourself up!0
-
Please don't be so hard on yourself. So you had some candy; if you enjoyed it, don't beat yourself up for it, just say, ok I had that, it tasted good but I'm ready to move on. Today's a new day; get back in the groove and keep going. You're within sight of your ultimate goal - go for it and LIKE yourself for who you are! You're a successful person who is making a difference in their health and well-being.0

When you give up, you just hurt yourself and no one else. Please don't.0

I feel like a total failure. I think i may just give up. I have had so much success overall but i just can't do it anymore. I had a M&M Halloween pack. I was doing so good!!! I avoided candy for like 14 months i think. I just feel like i should quit. I was unable to resist and for the first time i went over my 1200 calorie goal. I look at myself and i see a weakling. Someone that has no self-control anymore. Someone that will never make my goal weight. I only had 2 pounds to go but now who knows. After my failure today i just don't think i will ever make it. Not anymore. I just wish i had more self-control.
I see all these guys that are big like me staying within their goals each day and now i feel like an outsider. Seeing that number be red really hurts at my core. I was hoping i would be strong enough to do this but know i just don't know. Most days i don't even know what to eat to get to my 1200 calorie limit but today i was over by 36. I am such a complete failure.
you ate a whole bag of MM's and you were only 36 calories over your goal for the day? Ummm is that all you ate?
You don't know what to eat to get to 1200? I have 1200 for dinner sometimes. How about a steak and some roasted potatoes...
two things here..
1. This is a BS troll thread
2. you have an eating disorder and should seek help...
thats all I got...
Agreed. Total BS. "OH no I have to stop now! I went 56 cals over!!!" Stop. You can run around in circles for like 5 minutes & burn 56 cals. smh.0 -
and an M&M candy pack? Come on... I have a cheat meal 1-2 times a week. You shouldn't be that strict. This is why diets don't work. You need to have a permanent lifestyle change and indulge every now and again. My cheat once a week is a burger and fries and I have abs!0

Losing weight is not about self control. It is about picking yourself up and moving forward every time you have a perceived failure!0

OP, don't give up.
Eventually you'll hit comedy gold. Maybe practice on your family first?0 -
this can't be serious...
you ate some candy for the first time in 14 months and now you want to quit???
bahahahahahahahaha please....I swear you people are funny....
With you on this! ;-) hysterical0 -
let's say 3500 calories is one pound weight loss, you went over by 36. It is less than 1 percent of 1 pound, please realize the insignificance of that weight, or go around the house and look for thing that is 1% of 1 pound. maybe a piece of kleenex. Weight loss is a long haul process. it's not about a goal weight, get there and go back to your old lifestyle. It's about knowing a new healthier way of eating lifestyle.
Namaste.0 -
You are NOT a failure!!! Look at what you have done so far.....14 months without candy and only 2 lbs to go to your goal!!!! That does not say failure to me and we all go over believe me IF know. Hang in there and keep going cause I know you can do this just keep doing what you were.
Hugs

I agree that you are being way too hard on yourself....one packet of candy does not equal failure especially if you look at your overall achievements. I'd hate to judge myself according to your standards because I would fall short weekly. Give yourself more pat on the backs for what you have done, keep your chin up and remember that you are human and will never be perfect in this lifetime.0

Come on people.....on the plus side it is nice to see so many supportive mfp'ers?0 -
You should definitely give up. You are a complete failure at weight loss and an embarrassment to the rest of us who NEVER go over on calories.
now watch how i get hammered as mean and insensitive.......lulz0 -
Edited: So glad I thought this was serious and wasted 5 minutes typing a sincere answer. Thanks!.0

You say "I wish I had more self-control"... well have it then! You can wish all you want, but self-control is yours and yours only! Nobody ever gets anywhere just by "wishing"
I really feel for you and on one hand I want to say "take a deep breath, relax, it was only one bag of candy, not worth it to quit just over that", and on the other hand I seriously want to say "come on - get a grip, grow a pair, it's not like you've un-done everything you've achieved in the last 14 months!"
Get some perspective - it's one day and only 36 calories! Go for a walk and burn it off and stop feeling sorry for yourself!
I think I love you. 0 -

Exactly. "Meh."
Mimicking a serious mental condition doesn't make the OP funny.0 -
Thank you for all your support. I am not sure why so many of you choose not to believe me. I just needed to vent. Thank you all for being so helpful. I will be fine, not going to let one mess up stop me. Besides, i can make up for going over, it's no big deal.0

Seriously??? For the last 4 days I have eaten 2500-3000 calories, today I'm going back to my normal 1450 calories, I'm not worried, I'm not giving up, I may have gained a pound or two but I'm not panicking. Maybe you should up your calorie intake, I am short, 5' 4-5" and I eat over 1200 calories a day.0

You sir, are a greedy fecker. Good day to you.0

Calories are not an exact science. Nutrition labels have a +-5 calorie allowance, the elliptical and my HRM estimates differ by 200-300 calories.
Putting yourself at 1200 is already putting you in the largest deficit you should have so you can't really stress going over. Although I totally get it. I was so good for so long and lately it seems I want to splurge more. Know what? I have. There have been several days I was several hundred calories over my goal. Know what? It didn't affect my weight loss in the least. I've still been steadily losing 1-2 lbs a week. I feel good - I feel healthy - and best of all I don't feel hungry or deprived.
Since I am almost at goal this is a good thing because I need to start getting my body used to maintenance calories. I know I won't be eating at a deficit forever. I also know that weight loss slows as you get closer to goal.
So unless you want to end up in a mental ward I'd suggest you start cutting yourself some slack and work toward a deficit you can LIVE with. And if you really just hate seeing that red line - up your calorie goal and then strive to eat a bit under what you have set so it stays green

That takes some dedication. I wouldn't waste that on animal crackers. Next time go for cheesecake!I ate 720 caloris worth of animal crackers yesterday
I had M&M's and a twix bar yesterday.0 -
LOL at how many people are taking this seriously...
OP is an amateur troll in the making...0
