I have been using MFP for just over a week and loving it! I've already lost two lbs.....but tonight- oh no! I ordered a salad while my family had pizza and I couldn't help myself. Ate my whole salad, two garlic knots, a slice of pizza and soda. Am I doomed?

    Get right back on track and stick to it...Keep in mind 3,500 calories per week is 1 lb...so exercise and a strict plan will get you back on track.

    Why would one mean "doom" you? You might retain water/bloat...but that's it. Also, salad is pretty much free, same with any other vegetable (but the stuff you add to it-hardboiled eggs, dressing, etc is definitely NOT free).

    I think a salad and 2 slices of pizza would be good. I would ship the soda and the garlic bread. I think you did ok.

    Does one bad quiz doom a student?
    Does one bad date doom a relationship?
    Does showing up for work late once get you fired?

    This is for the long haul, not one week or one night. Don't think of it that way. Be honest with yourself, don't expect perfection but do not allow yourself to slide into permissiveness and try to strike a balance. Realize that you are not depriving yourself but rather moving forward with your health and esteem. Just don't waste time and energy feeling guilt and giving yourself self recriminations :) Life is too short!

    Good luck

    LMAO...only one slice??? It sounds like you're doing great. : )
    Like sexygenius said, use it as motivation to do better and work harder tomorrow.

    if you didn't have a problem with food temptations you would probably not be on this site lol
    we all eat the wrong stuff or to much of even the right stuff - just keep on keeping on - don't beat yourself up

    I go through the same thing at least once a week. Today all I've done is think about food. I'm ready to cave. I just tell me I will be super duper good the rest of the week. It's hard but when we lose those pounds is great!

    I had pizza for dinner, too. Only I ate 4 pieces! Had lots of workout time today so according to MFP I still have extra calories today, but I am stuffed!
    Tomorrow is another day and I won't be eating pizza for a while.
    DON'T CAVE! We all have days like this. You can do it and we are all here to support you.

    Naw. You have to live a little, and you didn't do nearly as much damage as you could've. Just realize that that tomato sauce is probably loaded with sodium -as is regular soda- so you're pretty likely to retain some fluids which will show on the scale. Just get back on the horse and you'll be great.

    My Sentiments EXACTLY! Someone once told me...There's 21 main meals in a week...Messing up one isnt going to ruin your week! Keep doing what you're doing! Good Luck darling!

    Well, yeah I made the mistake of baking cookies today. Oatmeal raisin. Made them really tiny and then sent them with the fiance to work after I ate 5 fresh out of the window. The only good thing is I stayed in my calorie count because of exercising and shoveling out my fiance's car and our walkway.

    I had a trainer once who had a rule that one day of the week you could eat anything you wanted, and otherwise eat good the other 6 days :) really eliminates that deprivation feeling. After all, you did have a salad!
