Do you guys overeat once in a while?

It totally happens, no worries.

It could be that you are being too strict on yourself with your diet (either too limiting on calories or cutting out too many foods). I know for me, if I try to avoid something I'm really craving (like ice cream or potato chips), I end up eating 3x as much in "healthy" calories without batting an eye.

Or, it could just be that you had an off day. Figure out why you overrate today to help prevent it in the future if possible, but don't beat yourself up. Just get back on track tomorrow. If you want to, you can try to eat a little bit under your goal for the rest of the week, but it's not really necessary and you shouldn't do it if further restricting is going to cause future overeating. Just move on and don't worry about it. In the grand scheme of things, it probably won't even put you over maintenance level for the week, so you shouldn't gain weight.

Look at it this way, if you're set to lose 1lb a week, that means you're eating 500cal below maintenance every day. That's under by 3500 cals a week. So, even if you really did eat 2000 calories over today, you're still going to be at a 1500 cal deficit for the week. You would theoretically need to eat another 5000 calories over between now and the end of the week to gain even 1lb of fat. You're fine.

I'm over today myself, but I was way under the past two days and was feeling dizzy and icky. I bought a big can of nuts, lol! Now the big problem will be staying out of them when I'm supposed to.

Nuts can be evil because they are so tasty and small. They are so darned calorie-dense. You went overboard on healthy food, so that part is great

Yep the last two days! but actually lost weight somehow , which has inspired me to be better. Don't worry about it it happens to us all, I try and keep a blog to write down how I feel on a daily basis and what I did food wise - been very useful in working out my triggers and getting better (mostly) at working around them. Whats done is done, fresh day start again :0)

I tend to go over my caloric intake on my cheat days. Usually 1-2 days a week is a cheat day for me. I tend to go over 2000 during those days but I watch my intake afterwards and paired with 4-5 gym days still managed to lose weight. I got to admit I usually expend 600 to 1000 calories per session.

As they say every breath is a chance to make a better choice. So don't be too hard on yourself.

I think most people have days like that. Do not worry about it, just move on and do not look back. Each day is a fresh start

i overeat (go waaay over my calories) at least once a week. just look at your calorie average on a weekly scale rather than daily. if it averages out to your goal at the end of the week it doesn't really matter if one day you were really hungry and ate 3000 calories and maybe another day you just weren't hungry at all and only managed 1000. it's pretty normal even in people who have never had weight issues, i see friends and family overeating on special occasions or the weekends all the time. think long-term and don't beat yourself up over indulging yourself once in a while. i'm pretty convinced that the reason i managed to lose weight this time and keep (most of it) off is that i didn't let one bad day spiral into a week of bad eating. i try not to let myself feel guilty or attach any kind of moral weight to overeating, and that's worked out really well for me.
