Sliped On Shopping Day

I did my supermarket hopping in a frantic rush on an empty stomach (yes, I know bad idea but it was a hectic day) so I chucked some dried fruit in my trolly and chowed down. I though that I'd eaten 800 calories (which was actually okay because it made up for my exercise calories, and I give myself a 'cheat meal' and I was planing on giving myself dried mango, ginger and pineapple for my cheat meal. But when I did all the calculations it was 1,100 calories!! I'm so ashamed and feel so so STUPID!

Still managed to be under my calorie goal, but I feel like I've just had a big blow out.

When you have days like this, what do you do?

    One day isn't going to derail your entire mission :) And don't punish yourself. Just pick yourself back up tomorrow and get back on track. :happy:

    Don't let one day turn into more!

    I've learned not to beat myself up over one slip. It took a while for me to learn that. Before, I would slip and be so down on myself, I would give up - after one slip! That's why this time around feels so much different and better. I love that I'm not perfect and that I am getting better at staying on track every day!

    Good luck ~ you will do great!

    Hi I suppose the best thing to do is put it behind you as a lesson learnt and concentrate on today........... I had a bad day yesterday as we had a Chinese Buffet so well over and I am not happy with that. Just hope it doesnt spoil my weeks lose. I was well over on calories and as I only weigh myself once a week I wont know till Wednesday.

    Oh the dreaded buffet. I guess I shouldn't be too upset because I'm still under my calorie intake.

    You've got till Wednesday - you'll be fine!!!:flowerforyou:
