    I was doing very well throughout the day until I got a package from my mother with a tub of chocolate chip cookies, chocolate covered nuts, a cookies-n-cream bunny, three cadbury cream eggs, and two chocolate turtles. Yeah.....


    But I think I made up for it since that morning I ran five miles and that night I completely blew my own running record out of the water by running for 65 minutes straight with no walking breaks (wooo!!!!!)

    True!
    I feel a teeny, tiny, miniscule bit guilty, but I loved every second of it, especially the chocolate orange! Now that I have satisfied my cravings, I can happily go about sticking to my goal again! :)
    I still feel a little sick though. lol
    I had a bunch of chocolate eggs, they are my downfall, we had left overs from hiding them from the kids, I put them in the garbage this morning lol. I need to make it to my goal of 160lbs by May 1st. We all have cravings and sometimes we cave and sometimes we don't but the point is to get back at it and don't beat yourself up, it is good that we are all honest with ourselves instead of lying to ourselves .

    Wow! That is brilliant, well done! I am training for a 10k run in July, and my best so far has been 45 minutes with no walking breaks. And after all that chocolate too! :)

    Yeah, I went on a 2-day Easter binge when I got together with family. But I'm back in the saddle again and tracking my calories and exercise. Easter was my little detour on the road to weight loss.

    I ATE on Easter.. I ate chocolates.. I ate dessert... I ate cheesy sourcream potato casserole (full fat)... I ate ham... I ate yams with marshmallows on top... I ate homemade kettle corn.. I ATE and ATE and ATE. I didn't feel sick.. I didn't feel gross.. I didn't feel guilty... I just had a great time with my family and fully enjoyed these lovely once-a-year foods.

    ONE DAY.. it was ONE DAY. Yesterday I was back on the straight and narrow. I've got a VERY TIGHT wedding dress to fit into in three weeks so I can't afford to let ONE DAY bleed into the entire week... But even with a tight wedding dress staring me down, I afforded myself ONE DAY guilt free.

    It started on Easter and carried over to yesterday, but today is a new day. Gotta get back on track.

    Exactly! It was just one day and you are allowed! You aren't going to put on pounds and pounds of fat.
    In my case it was 4 days, so a little bit naughtier than you. I too have a wedding dress to fit into in August. :)

    A slightly longer detour on the road to weight loss. We will still end up in the same destination. I like that! :)

    I'm trying very hard to not feel bad about it because I have been very good since January and I figured I deserved a nice holiday. Ate too much chocolate and cookies and holiday food. Stayed on my feet moving all day (a whole lot of hulahooping) and logged what I could to try to be accountable. Scale told me a gained 7lbs, over the weekend. Now I know that's pretty unlikely but it seems to be clinging even after getting back on the wagon yesterday and running a few miles. I'm still up 5 extra pounds.


    Someone please tell me you can't gain 5lbs in a weekend... pretty please.

    On Sunday, I ate everything I could get my hands on. I regretted it hours later, when I had a migraine and an upset stomach. But I got back on track Monday and today so...

    Oh man did I binge! Not just on Easter Sunday sadly... I went to my parents' for the weekend and ate non-stop from Friday until Monday morning. I felt like crap after a lot of it but just kept eating anyway. But I'm back on track now and was pleased to see that I'm only up 2 lbs. I thought it was going to be so much worse!

    You can't! Don't worry. It will come right back down in a few days. Just eat and exercise like you have been since January, and it will be fine.
    Don't beat yourself up. Just start logging again. :) xx

    It wasn't that bad, but I did eat an entire chocolate bunny yesterdsay (a big one!) and some small choco eggs. I did an extra workout session later in the day to compensate and gave the remaining choco eggs to my coworkers, let them dispose of the evil.

    Today I'm back to being a good boy.

    Yeah, I did not go crazy on sweets, even avoided the chcolate pie!! But I did go overboard on delcious food from my Mama! lol... I do feel guilty!!! :( But I got back on track Monday! Like some of ya guys the scale seemed to reflect that I gained 2lbs, but I hope that it was just water/sodium/food weight!

    Yup. My husband got me a huge easter egg. We ate half of it over 2 days then I had to throw the rest of it away as I couldn't stop eating it. So there was some damage limitation!
    But I know from experience that if I eat sweet things, especially chocolate, a few days in a row I start to crave it like crazy and I wanted to nip that in the bud.

    I was pretty good, I only ate one cadbury egg on Easter. It was the ham that did me in, I am retaining water like crazy. ugh.

    I stepped on the scale yesterday just for fun.. I was up 6 pounds.. SIX POUNDS.. It's starting to come off now though.. I was up all night peeing like crazy. A few more trips to the bathroom with a good healthy BM thrown in for good measure and I'll be back to my pre-Easter weight.

    I didn't do too badly Friday, Saturday, Sunday yesterday was a total write off, I travelled back from Coventry to London (not far I know) but this meant I ate lunch out then had snack food on train then got home and had more snack food as all my 'real' food was frozen, I stopped logging as I have no idea how much any of it was. Today I went to CrossFit and I am at the gym this evening. Determined to make up for it.

    I didn't have a "bad" weekend or a "binge". I enjoyed every single calorie :). 19000+ calories for three days of awesome :). That includes my regular food and then the Easter treats! I weigh in on Saturdays but expect to only put on 1 pound at the most. And I can easily take that off with a slight deficit :). No shame and no regrets :). My diary is open too!

    My Easter binge was an extension of my Palm Sunday binge when my parents came for a visit. A visit from my mother always means over-eating.

    i wanted to cry last night. I had a proper cheat meal on Sunday (I ate a lot of ham, then had cassava, birthday cake, and apple crumble within reason).

    But yesterday when I got home I had half a bag of almonds and an entire ferrero rocher chocolate bunny. That was 1600cals easy.

    I still feel so guilty. Need to cut back on calories for the week.

    i am up too but I hope that it is due to water retention. If not then i'll be one sad kitty cat.

    yup. All you can eat brunch.
    Pretty sure I managed to log it all, but I still went about 1500 calories over.

    the good thing is, it's finally getting warm again here so I'm starting regular exercise again.

    Ate tons on Sunday, not chocolate well 2 cookies just cause they were there. But had a pile of my favourites, just to much and too many of them in 1 day. This was after a weekend of decent amount of eating and drinking. No Easter chocolate eggs, never had one and don't ever plan on it. Haven't weighed myself, I know I am up, nothing I can do about. Made a pot of chicken soup and other healthy eats figure by weeks end all will be prettier on the scale.

    I ate a lot of chocolate and jelly beans. You are not alone. Trying to get over it today, and still ended up with over 300 calories of candy in my diary. We'll, tomorrow will be easier, mainly because I have eaten most of it...
