    So I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I spend a whole month logging everything I put in my mouth I return to the doctor and she asks how things are going and I proceed to tell her I lost 16 pounds in 4 weeks. At that point she is ecstatic at my progress. I then tell her about the previous Saturday night Bowling night where I drank 11 Draft beers.

    She ask " how did that make you feel?" I said that I was kind of embarrassed about having to write down I drank 11 beers. My doctor says to me "no you knuckle head how did you feel the next morning after drinking 11 beers."

    She then proceeds to ask me why everyone she deals with spends their life paying no attention to what they eat, then try's to change their lifestyle over night and wants to make it an all or nothing deal.

    So what I'm saying is relax. if you think this is the last time your going to eat to much I have really bad news for you, every one has a bad day once in while.

    After all its not like you drank to much and woke next to someone whose name you can't remember, I hate when that happens.

    Eating is just like life and anything else, you are going to have good days and bad. just don't string too many bad days in a row. log it and move on

    Hello, you have gotten some good advice here. You ate it , you realized what you did and you are accountable for that. Just move on and realize this is life. It is to be enjoyed and start tomorrow and move on. You will absolutely do this and it's a learning process every day. Take care..

    If you're within your calories then you shouldn't have to worry. If you went over in your calories by a bit you could just pare another day's calories a little to adjust.

    I once had 1,000+ calories of ice cream for dinner & didn't gain anything. I also made up for the stomach bug a few times by eating a lot of ice cream.

    Remember this feeling the next time you feel tempted to eat a whole pint. Granted, it's not a terrible thing, but think of how you feel.. I used to eat a bowl of ice cream everynight before bed. Now when I do have ice cream, I scoop it with a teaspoon and put it in an average coffee mug. Don't pack it in. Stick with it.

    Moments like these are learning moments. Learn from it!

    Best of luck :D

    I don't see a huge problem, or really any problem here.

    I think that if you are going to be successful going forward you need to lose this fear of food and the fear of eating over that calorie limit. We all have one of those days .. I had 2 of them recently. But .. guess what I didn't gain an oz .. and my body fat % is still the same. So .. a one day oops is not going to make any difference in the long run.

    So .. move on, food is not the devil. You will be fine unless you consistently eat more than you burn, provided weight loss is your goal here.

    Good luck.

    Weighing a proper serving seems like it'd be a better metric.

    You had a "bad" day. You're human. Move on. It's called living.

    a teaspoon, really?

    Nothing wrong with one serving of ice cream a night as long as you maintain your deficit….

    Haha! Great anecdote and advice. Good luck to you with your Type 2. I've had several friends who were able to manage the disease with lifestyle changes and get off their meds entirely...and one who later found his diabetes was really a misdiagnosed, somewhat obscure liver problem, but eating better and exercising didn't do him any harm :)

    Today for breakfast I had 2 eggs with onions and peppers, quaker cinnamon spice oatmeal with a banana and a cup of green tea. For lunch I had a very small salad with some guac on top and an apple, raisins for a snack, and for dinner I had cold cut turkey with a small salad and a banana with some peanut butter. I just ate a pint of raspberry sorbet from hagen daaz, is this gonna ruin my progress I feel terrible right now...
    How many calories did you have with those tiny meals? You're probably hungry because you're trying to eat some tiny amount of calories.

    nope. it's not going to ruin anything. one day does not make or break your progress.
