This could happen to anyone. So plan ahead.

It's 11:58PM, and you're just about to doze off. It's been a long day and you've just realized that you've only eaten 1199 calories. How do you spend your last two minutes before starvation mode kills you?

    Wondering how on Earth I made it to 11:58 PM with that many calories left. Seriously, dinner and dessert take up at LEAST that, if not more.

    I spend the last two minutes knowing I'll just have to make it up during the week and thankful I don't believe that one day can undermine my success or send me into "starvation mode".

    Wonder how I've gotten to a point where I have 601 calories left in my day?

    Shrug? I mean, I've been under 1200 calories before, I'll be under again. I try to eat up to 1200 but occasionally even after a snack I'm at 1150. Other days I eat 1300.

    If mine are gone, I eat my husband's. If those are gone, I start on toenails.

    This is another problem i have never faced, even when i was sick..I dont know if that is sad or a good thing. I always manage to clean up my calories for the day(1500+)

    I never have that problem until today! I've been so busy I've forgot to snack (didn't think it was possible!) had a yoghurt apple and advent Calendar choc.... Hoping my body won't notice the 11 calories short I am!

    Is that the "weird trick" that those banner ads keep talking about?

    I just go to sleep and figure I'll make up for it at the weekend. Alternately, I sprint to the fridge and shovel cheese in my mouth like there will never be dairy again. Depends on what kind of day I've had. ;)

    Well, considering that I was probably sick all day if that was all I ate, I'd probably curl up under the covers and hope I felt better in the morning

    Whats funny about this, is I had planned to eat a bowl of cereal while watching one of my tv shows late one night. I started falling asleep and jumped up and ate two servings of raisin bran w/milk (460 cal) and as soon as i finished it i fell asleep. I think back and wonder why I just didnt go to sleepand save those calories for the next day..lol

    I'll just hope I wake up in the morning and didn't starve to death.

    If your husband's nearby...

    ...might I suggest...

    ...an alternative course of action.

    Think outside the box: turn your clock back and finish eating your calories. Duh!

    This. The only days I've ever eaten under 1200 is because I have a stomach bug.

    I normally eat 1200 by sometime during lunch.

    Srsly?? I never forget to eat. Doesn't matter what the day is like. I could have the worst stomach flu, practically vomiting out of my eye sockets, and still be thinking "I could really go for some cake."

    Pray that b!tch starvation mode doesn't show up and undo all my hard work.

    OR

    Me + a jar of peanut butter + chocolate chips + spoon = 600 calories (maybe more haha)
