    I would probably be a bit more strict for the rest of the week to balance it out C:

    Two donuts may be less calories than you imagine.
    My local favorite is about 200 calories each.

    In some ways, those 2 donuts could substitute a proper meal.

    I'd say work out 30-60 minutes extra today,
    and it will put things back into equilibrium.

    Everything is fine in moderation! :)

    I enjoy it and realize it's not the end of the world and doesn't ruin the day.

    Whatever you do you have to make what you eat fit into your lifestyle. Life is gonna happen, donuts will happen. Cake too! It's okay. Just work out and keep going!

    Lots of GOOD advice here. The most important thing is to realize that it is okay. Burn some extra cals today and be careful with your other meals. Sounds like you really enjoyed the donuts. Don't let guilt take that away.

    Thanks for the awesome motivation. I used to go purge things like donuts. Heading back to my elliptical for awhile....

    Redeem the day as best as you can. Healthy choices for the rest of the day, coupled with some extra exercise, does wonders.

    Whether or not you do damage control today, don't let it affect your tomorrow, or week, or month. It's so easy to let one bad day sabotage your plans. We all have little slip ups. That just means we need to move on from them without looking back.

    Personally? I'd log it accurately and adjust accordingly during the remainder of the day/week. Perhaps go for a long walk if I needed some more calorie room.

    How have you handled similar situations during the past five years you've been on MFP?

    Now I want a donut.

    This. And alas, there is not a donut in sight :(

    OP, just log it and get on with your day, and do your best to stay in your calorie goal but don't sweat it if you end up going over a bit. You'll still have a deficit, overall, for the week.

    I often feel like people miss the point of these ... OMG look what I ate there goes my whole day / week / month / diet .... posts. The key is to make the conscious decision to eat whatever food / portion is in question (rather than mindless snarfing). Once you have mastered that first step, all of the ensuing regret and remorse should disappear. There is no more "cheating" because you have decided (even if 30 seconds before eating!) that the food is worth the calories. Then, savor your choice and move on!

    I have a hard time eating donuts after I had some fresh baked ones from a bakery. Tim Horton's is blah compared to them.

    But I still cannot resist a fresh warm Krispy Crème. But so much sugar I can only handle one, my sister though has to buy a half dozen to a dozen each for my nephews. Good thing they are active boys.
