    One thing I learned throughout all these years is not to beat myself up if I slip. You will learn from it and do better next day. Trust me. :)

    it happens to the best of us, whatever 1 day does not kill you, get on the bandwagon and tomorrow is a new day to start fresh.

    Thats right tomorrow is a new day! Take a deep breath, relax, hormones arent an exscuse but a decent reason. Maybe try to spend an extra 10 minutes at the gym? But dont beat yourself up we ALL do it!

    I had a bad moment with my son yesterday (Demanding his daddy when daddy has Never existed for him :/) and wanted to drown myself in my bag of sweethearts, I went to the gym for the second time I only made it 30 minutes but when I got home I ate about 20 pieces instead of the whole bag and felt amazingly better.

    I had the same kind of day as you I think. I over-ate by 700cals BUT I thought, tomorrow is another day and as long as I keep today as a one-off it wont make any difference to my long-term goals.

    Hope you feel better soon :flowerforyou:

    We have all been there and we have all beaten ourselves up about it. Just use your own words of advice if it was someone you knew who did the same thing, Its going to be okay and just change it tomorrow

    Just don't keep doing it. :laugh:
    And one thing I found useful is I would think what went wrong and how I could avoid it next time. :smile:

    That is exactly how I feel!! :) As much as alcohol certainly "counts", I'm generally over it quickly :)

    Don't be so hard on yourself...I know myself..and I know that realistically speaking for myself...1200 calories everyday....isn't gonna happen...Just exercise more for the rest of the week and some of it will balance itself out...You will be fine...Tomorrow is another day...Good Luck

    Something I read in a magzine (which may or may not of been truthful) is after you over eat if you try to drink a lot of water it helps to flush out the excess sodium which is usually in the foods we tend to overeat (pizza, fried chicken, etc). That way the next day you won't feel as bloated. I've never tried it, like I said I read it in a magazine.

    I work in a hospital. You'd think we would be healthy, right? Wrong. That dang break room is a calorie mine field. I've learned to bring my own snacks and just stay away!

    What do you feel guilty for? You are not hurting anyone and have nothing to be ashamed of so how much nicer would it be to be kind to yourself for one night? Think of it as a cheat day and concentrate on how it makes your body feel (bloated, sick, happy) rather than how many calories you just had. You are more likely to stick to your lifestyle change with the odd treat/cheat rather than a punishing, unhappy diet. I say enjoy it and get back on the wagon tomorrow looking at waht caued you to do it and deal with that insteade...but then I have just subsidised my salmon tonight and inhaled a medium peri peri chicken pizza and feel sick now haha!! And I enjoyed every last crumb!! x

    This happened to me yesterday! I normally over eat on the weekends, but I try to be good during the week. Well night before last I stayed up late watching TV and recovering from an intense spin class and a busy day at work. Yesterday I was dragging so bad and considered forgoing exercising altogether. I managed to put in an hour on the Wii, but I over ate at lunch and had an ice cream bar before bed. :frown: Today I feel bloated and just a mess, but I've already planned out my day today and I should gain those calories back.

    Bottom line: we all mess up, but the key is how you respond to it. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and keep going like it's Day 1 all over again. Sometimes a fresh start is just what you need to get over plateaus and bad days. :wink:

    I have a few friends who have the same problem. They told the Rep's "if their going to bring food, it has to include healthy options and salad". When they have birthday's they bring Cupcakes. One per person. ( portion control)
    That way the girls who want to watch what they are eating have something to eat besides high calorie fatty foods.
