Help! I overate by 780 calories today. I have done so well with my fitness and eating this week. I don't have time to work out tonight. Is this day going to negatively effect my weight loss??? Any advice on what to do is greatly appreciated!

    Take a really deep breath and move on to tomorrow. If you're really all that worked up about it, try being a little under the next few days, but really-you'll be fine. I promise. 780 cals is nothing-you're not going to instantly gain 164950575 pounds. Chances are you're really 2 or 300 over maintenance-which means at the absolute worst you'll lose .085 lbs less than you might have this week.

    I wouldn't worry too much! Sometimes I'll eat good everyday and be under by like 300cals. So I figure 300 cals times 6 days is 1800 cals I could have eaten and been fine. So if I take one day and over eat, it evens out. As long as you jump back on the horse tomorrow and start fresh!

    Breathe. Here I was all nervous that I may have eaten 200-300 calories over because I'm not sure how my friend made the mac & cheese we had for dinner but you have reminded me that in the long run it isn't a huge deal. Just continue to eat right in the future.
