    Yep - what she said. You can do this and guilt just makes it harder so DON'T do that to yourself.

    Was it just a spontaeous trip, or did you stop there on your way to or from something else? Some of the tips that help me keep the fast food demon down is to leave my wallet at home unless I have a specific purchase in mind. I keep my driver's license and a small emergency stash of cash in the glove box of my car just in case I need them. If I am going to make an allowance for fast food, I have a predetermined amount that I will allow myself to spend. This usually helps keep me within a 'reasonable' allotment of calories.

    We all have really bad days/weekends. You can do it! Just remember focus on making the best choice you can today. You can't change yesterday.

    Cheer up, we have ALL been there for sure. I know you can make today a better day.

    You cannot change the past. Is feeling guilty going to burn calories????? The next thing you put in your mouth should be a choice that puts you back on track. Exercise to get rid of the crap in your body and just remember, you will make mistakes its how you recover from them that counts.

    They have that one heathier meal and if you stick to a diet soda and green beans as one of your sides it should be easier to stay in your calorie goal! My best Bryan does it all the time. He loves KFC too! ha ha

    Accept it, forgive yourself, dust yourself and move forward with confidence.

    That and create a plan for how you will handle it next time.

    For example, we had fast food last night since a big monkey wrench was thrown into our plans. The choice was taco bell or mcdonalds. Knowing myself, I choose Taco Bell and ordered 3 crunchy beef tacos, water to drink. I like them and it fit into my calorie budget. In theory I might have liked more of something else, but in reality I was happy with what I ordered and while my sodium was high for the day, my overall calories were right on the money.

    Its okay to have a cheat day or weekend. As long as you get back on the wagon the next day. The way I see it..if you dont' cheat..you'll fall off and not get back on...at least thats what has always happended to me. Which is why I don't "diet" I do a life style change. I eat the foods that I want...but in MODERATION! And everynow and then I do stuff myself...I feel guilty and sometimes go work out later..and sometimes I don't...just because I need a day to where I can do that. Don't let the guilt get you. Work KFC into your cal intake...get an idea of how much you want to eat there and see what the calories are and choose from there. But, if you love it, don't cut it from your "diet". The way I see it..when you diet you are making a lifestyle change. Do you want to cut out KFC for the rest of your life? And if the answer is no...then just go w/a game plan in mind on how many calories you want to consume and stick w/it.

    I am an ice cream-ohilic. I still have ice cream, but I've curbed my trips to the DQ by making it a reward, rather than punishing myself over it. I switched to clean eating over a year ago and built in to that plan one cheat meal - not a day - one cheat meal per week.

    Sometimes we indulge my daughter for that cheat meal and get a veggie pizza (she's a pizza-holic!), sometimes we indulge Mom for that cheat and get a Blizzard. One. Once per week and still within reasonable calorie limits.

    Something to look forward to rather than beating myself up for after - sounds a lot better that way, doesn't it?

    Plan for it! On Dr Oz yesterday they said that when you have a eating set back...within 1 hour you should do squats. I think he said for a full minute...but I can't remember now. Then he said don't beat yourself up and move on!
