    I only regret that a shoulder injury has benched me, but that I am still starving. It means that I learned today at 4pm at the doc that I need to quit my bulk (no lifting or martial arts for 2 weeks) AND I missed my workout meaning I should eat many less calories than planned. I eat when I'm hungry though *shrug*

    ETA: WTF with the sugar cookies anyway? No one likes those. At least eat something you LIKE if you are going to eat empty (and extra) calories.

    I've had nothing today. I wont have anything till 3pm tomorrow. It's another 24 hours away now. SO I can say I regret eating nothing.


    Man I love my fasting days.

    Today, I did fine. Even with that sugar cookie, I still came up under 1200 calories. Yesterday, I totally blew it. While trick-or-treating with the kids, my son handed me his mostly full capri sun. I've been drinking nothing but water since I started counting calories, because I like to eat, and I don't wanna waste my calories on drink.. but I was just holding that capri sun, and it was getting so heavy... so I drank it. Even though I was already at 1200. Once that sugar hit my body, I couldn't stop thinking about the candy sitting in the kids buckets, after they were asleep. Ended up eating a twix, a snickers, an almond joy, a war-head, AND a reese's cup... All mini's, but still... Considered not logging it, didn't really wanna know how far I'd gone, but eventually decided that not logging it wasn't changing the fact that I'd ate it, so I did... 386 calories over, my worst day ever. At first, I was kinda upset, but then I realized that it was not the end of the world. I've been doing great, and I don't log my excersize, so surely one day of going overboard is not going to throw me off track!

    Under 1200 is way too low anyway. Hard to maintain, and kills your muscle mass which you need to do tasks and keep your metabolism up. You were still way under maintenance. 1586 without counting exercise is probably where you should be EVERY day. That is a touch lower than what I lost all my weight at.

    the only time I regret eating something is if it didn't taste good.

    Well I apologize then. I've never seen someone really happy to eat one, just eating them because that was the only choice. They are also the only cookie that we bother to decorate to make more likeable lol. If you like them, then that is awesome. I suppose someone has to since they are still around. I hope you had a fantastic one (or two or...)!

    Nothing today, I log most of my day before it happens, so I know if there is room for a little naughty. Hell most days I need a little naughty just to make up my calories :laugh:

    Ugh that ice cream!

    What???

    Guess I can mark that off my list of "Said no one. Ever."

    :noway:


    (Or was this "ice cream" or "I Can't Believe It's Not Ice Cream" instead of actually ice cream?)

    I can't think of a single thing I've eaten that I've ever regretted.



























    Okay, one time I got steamed veg at Panda Express instead of rice and I was pretty upset with myself all day. Rice would have tasted better.

    No regrets today!

    But yesterday I regret eating half the bag of sun chips. I ate until I wasn't feeling so great because they were so tasty!

    Why wouldn't you log something, ever? What's the point of logging at all if you're not going to do it accurately?

    I ate an almond croissant and logged it. I don't regret it, it was so yummy.

    When I came home I did a half an hour workout :-)

    I have said it. But only because milk products and I don't agree regardless of how many times I keep trying.

    Have you tried a lactase tablet? They allow me to once again eat all the ice cream.

    I did years ago. But it seems it affects my skin more than just my stomach (although too much can bother that too).
    I never considered the fact the pills may help that too, or would they?

    Still trying to figure this out, I only started this today but I've been doing so well for ages but feel like my stepdad is sabotaging me! I've been making my own lunches and he and my mom make such unhealthy dinners I either have to make my own separate or pick at it. Bought me and my sis a cupcake with cream and a strawberry and of course temptation took over, I logged it and still feel terrible, gym tomorrow no doubt about it.

    Ugh that ice cream! I need to cut back on my sweets; I used to have them once every other week but now it's back to once every week. I hate feeling like I've failed a little bit; days like today I need to remind myself that I don't like feeling like this, feeling guilty for over indulging. Whenever I'm tempted I need to remember that I hate that feeling and that its just not worth it!

    I think having a sweet once a week is very commendable. Cutting them out might be worse than an occasional sweet, since you might feel deprived and obsess about any sweet that you eat. MFP doesn't expect us to give up everything we like.

    +1 on this. Just work out till you got most if not all of those calories. Anyway, regret is a useless feeling, as you cannot change what already happened. Log it, learn from it, and move on.

    Brownie brittle. It was delicious & yes I logged it

    I never have any regrets. This is a lifestyle change, not a diet.

    That's my thinking exactly. It is the only reason MFP has worked for me when no "diets" have.

    Regret nothing today, or yesterday. Very happy with my diet. But. And it's a big but! Today and yesterday would have been nowhere near as smug making if it wasn't for the guilt of all the beer calories that I logged the day before. I log EVERYTHING, and MFP really helps smack me with a reality check and ensure that bad days are followed by more good ones!

    Chinese takeout (if for the simple reason on not knowing how to log it. I am sure it was excessive), 20 oz regular mt dew (a simple mistake at the gas station) and 3 fun sized candy at work (no control at work). All logged unfortunately.

    It wasn't today but a few days ago I ate a Pumpkin Pie Carbmaster fake yogurt. I was pissed that it was NOT as delicious as I wanted it to be and had the thought for half a second that I needed to throw it away but the thought that replaced it was, "Maybe it will get better if I keep eating it." It didn't and then I was just pissed at myself for being stupid. FWIW, it was only 60 calories so I can't be that pissed about it (and being far from delicious is the only way I would regret food--I don't do it for high calories or high fat or whatever). And yes, I logged it.
