    I did that the other day. Kinda went crazy with Hot Wings and Coke. You know what, though? I got up the next morning, went to the gym and hit it hard. I'll do it again tomorrow, keep eating the way I did before that ill-fated night, and I'll keep shedding the pounds. One meal will not break you, especially if you've been good until that point. Don't give up, get back on the horse, and ride!

    The estimation is based upon you doing the same thing (caloric surplus or deficit ).
    I did the same thing some time back... My weight was a bit up the next few days (sodium, water weight, etc) but I went back to making healthy choices and didn't let it bother me..

    Tomorrow is a new day!

    take it as a lesson learned and make tomorrow better!
    you helped me! I NEVER could have guessed there were that many cals in chinese food (which I LOVE though it never fills me up for long). You've opened my eyes, if that makes you feel any better! Learning from others (and your own) mistakes is what we have to do sometimes.

    I'm not *quite* where you're at, but I did the same thing tonight, essentially. Seems to be the day for it.
    Ate an ENTIRE papa-john's (12") pizza. I'm 700+ over. It's the one thing I absolutely gorge on and I think I do it once a month. So, I'll spend the next couple of days working it off. It's not the end of the world and really, it'll probably end up evening out sooner than you think. :-) Just don't make it too often and you're gold.

    you're okay! Just don't do it on the regular. Just get up and work it out :] I'll be honest, you're lucky you ate Chinese food. I miss it :( but don't be so hard on yourself. at least it wasn't 45 pounds right then and there :]

    If it's deep fried and covered i sauce it does lol
    it really just depends on what kind you eat, some are super low, an other are super high..the buffet i went to tonight is very found of make deep fried amazingness...an some of the meats are kinda high in cals, like the eel and salmon,veggies ones (not including avocado) are the best in cals, but lack the omega's and protien. and watch out for added things like sauces or cream cheese

    That was me last week! I understand.

    Get up and get some exercise in tomorrow. It sounds like you have a really good excuse to do some intervals and burn extra calories. :D

    You can try 2 mins or regular pace, 1 minute of hyperspeed during your regular workout. You'l burn 2x as many calories.... ;)

    That happens! But I agree with what everyone else is saying...just learn from it. It's not as bad as it seems. Plus, with "dieting" your body gets bored/used to you eating the same amount of calories everyday (just like it does if you did the same exercises everyday). All you did was shake the boat a little bit. Now you'll have your body guessing and when you're back on track your body'll be like "oh hey, we're supposed to be burning pounds!" :]

    I had a really similar experience when I first started logging my calories.. I had some chinese takeout and when I entered the calorie information I nearly passed out because I was over by 3,000+ calories. Now whenever I I have a craving for bad food like that, I remember how I felt on that day. It was really a turning point for me! I would look at this the same way. Now that you're aware of how bad it is, focus on changing and not allowing yourself to go there again (or at the very least only very rarely)!
