Have you "ruined" your good eating today?

... Because saying "Oh I've already ruined my good eating today. I'll just eat crap." is like saying
"Oh, I dropped my phone on the floor. I'll just smash it till it breaks."
Just some food for thought :wink:

    I've also heard it that saying I've ruined my good eating today I'll just eat like crap is like saying, oh I accidentally dropped one egg, I guess I'll just dump the whole carton on the floor.

    are you sure it was as many calories as you think? i find buffets can be really hard to estimate and a lot dont have nutritional information available. i too tend to over estimate binges just in case but if it makes you feel any better it probably was not 3333 calories.

    I'd imagine it was slightly under 1000, but still...for me it was a huge slip. I was just being silly with my diary :) I can say I made some *mostly* healthy choices... started with a big salad, low fat dressing. Only had the whole-wheat thin-crust greek pizza slices... messed up with the s'mores pizza... had 3 of those :ohwell:

    "Oh, I dropped my phone on the floor. I'll just smash it till it breaks."

    I did this once. But I did drop the phone because it was a piece of crap, so smashing it was the next thing on my list.

    I'd take it further: I dropped my phone in water, I might as well throw the computer, iPad and modem in too, and declare that I'm not worth communicating with, versus: I dropped my phone in water, I'd better turn it off and put it in some rice to dry it out. Then call my family and friends.

    These damn Christmas cookies I've made have done me in! But just cause I went over doesn't mean I'm going to just say the hell with it and keep shoveling food in my mouth. I'm not gonna beat myself up cause I went over today; instead I'm focusing on the positive and that was hitting the gym today!

    I'll just be happy to get through to Jan 2 without a weight gain. I've been to more parties and dinners in the last couple of weeks then I had all year and it does not show any signs of slowing up until the end of the year.

    So I'm not really worried about one day it is the cumulative effect I'm worried about !

    I don't know that I "ruined" my good eating, but I did eat over what I had planned to eat. I always plan out what I'm going to eat on any particular day the night before. Yesterday's meal plan was entered on Sunday night and I followed it exactly. :tongue: I didn't get a chance to plug my BodyMedia Fit in until almost midnight. I had so much unplanned activity and exercise that my net calories for the day were only 250'ish. OMG!!!! But, I fell into bed and slept, which I needed more than food at that moment. Today, I have gone over by approximately 400 calories, but I was HUNGRY!!!! I tried to make wise choices in that overage, and basically just added more protein. I'm looking at it in the manner of the days averaging out at the end of the week. My body just needed more fuel today, so I "gassed up."

    Just happened last week. 4 bad days straight in fact.

    We had a company dinner, buffet style last Tueday. I didn't pig out during the dinner actually. I decided to go home after my first plate of dessert. That was around 9pm plus when I past by a local confectionery having offers at $1/ donut. Obviously, that one plate of dessert didn't satified me and I ended up buying those donuts and gobbled down 4. Doing the best I can, I calculated I had around 5000Cal that night. Those donuts are cream stuffed topped with more cream. Deliciously sinful. T_T

    Then the next 3 days, due to appointments and unfortunately getting a slight cold, I didn't workout and ate past my maintainance.

    I had a 800 cal lunch. A lot higher than I would like. I had to burn baby burn, about 1200 cals today. Now i do not feel any guilt.

    We all have bad days... but we should consider them moments. When we realize we are having a moment of temptation, stop!

    As my acupuncturist tells me... treat your calories like your credit card. What you put in.. you will have to find a way to pay it back. For example: a 10 piece chicken nuggets from McDonalds is about 400 calories.. Are you ready to burn off 400 calories in a cardio workout for 60-90 minutes? Was the chicken nugget that good?

    There's no good or bad... there is just eating.

    It would mean that you go over your calories or that you ate "unhhealthy" foods. Its more of a subjective term, which is why I put it in quotes
