Cheat weekend! Feel guilty! Diet tips for the week please???

I'm in the same boat, I ate far too much over the weekend. Going back to my usual calories. Don't try to starve yourself to make up for it, it'll only make it harder to stick to it. If I eat too much I immediately gain pounds and inches and I'm bloated but it's mostly water and it will disappear quick enough. Getting back on track is the most important thing, don't stress trying to compensate, just carry on.

Just carry on as normal. One weekend of bad eating is not going to impact your long term goals. Why ruin a nice time with family over some extra food. Seriously ? I imagine 90% of the population of the USA and UK etc. overindulged today.

I suggest you drink a lot of water because it will help eliminate toxins. With Easter being one of the bigger cheat days (HELLO), you are bound to eat a lot for dinner, or consume a lot of sugar (or both, more than likely). Most of us are guilty of indulging at least a few times in a while. Don't feel guilty about it. The best advice I can really give you is to pace yourself, and eat in the same portions as you normally do. You can get second helpings, or third. Doesn't matter. It's a day to indulge. Any holiday is, really. Just make sure you don't completely fall off the wagon, get back into your routine tomorrow, and you'll be fine. For now, enjoy Easter with your family and friends.

Same!!!! Had way too much ham, potatoes and sugar! I am dreading logging calories for today. I agree with everyone else... I will start drinking lots of water and eat a light dinner. And get back on track tomorrow!

It's not just a weekend, it's a long weekend and we've still got Monday to get through!! I'm now half way down a bottle of Morgan's Spiced rum and have been eating chocolate but come Tuesday I'll be back on it like a boss!!! Sometimes does you good to have a blowout :smokin: :drinker:

Oh man, I had 1300 calories in chocolates and candy before I gave the rest of my Easter basket to my brother and sister-in-law.

I'll probably ending up going a bit over maintenance calories tonight between booze and dinner, but I plan on just getting back to normal come tomorrow and hopefully it will even out in the next week or two.

Log it accurately & honestly, then move on.

This.

Really watch your salt intake over the next few days. It will make your weight drop faster. Everything is so loaded with sodium that you don't even realize how much you are taking in. When I do that, limiting sodium for a few days helps me get back down to normal weight a lot faster. Even though it's mostly psychological, seeing the number on the scale move in encouraging.

I overate on the weekend, my goal is set to 1.5 pounds a week, but if I change my goal to lose 1 pound a week I am still well with my calorie range for the week. Dong this and having a look at your weekly numbers on the app will really put it into perspective for you. Will I still lose 1.5 pounds? No, but I am still set to lose, 1 or 2 days do not make a diet :flowerforyou:

I have over eaten this weekend too. I'm bloated and feeling less energetic.

I made myself go for a long walk but then returned to some choc cookies.

Will be better tomorrow. I hope

Just remember that you are going to experience this holiday and many others every year for the rest of your life. You can either a) dread it and freak out when you overeat, b) deprive yourself and miss out on a big part of the fun and festivities or c) remember that even if you go over your goal by 2000 cals that day, that's only like a half pound which you can lose over the course of the next week, easily. So it means you maintain for a week? Who cares! It's not a race, it's a lifestyle.
