in Introduce Yourself
i have been strict eating and watching my cal intake for only 9 days now I know I shouldn't but because it's pancake day would it harm me to have 1 little chocolate bar ... I am scared of the guilt tomorrow if I do. I lost 3lbs last week and wanting to steady lose 1lb per week.. Weigh day is Monday, would this effect me? I'm undecided. All advise welcome

    I wouldn't think a chocolate bar would hurt. Most of my friends have cheat days once a week so I think you're in the clear

    Eat it. Work it into your calories. In fact, work treats (not cheats) into your calories every day if you want this to be enjoyable, sustainable weight loss.

    eat it, just make it fit into the calorie goal for the day. you have to figure out how this is going to work for you for the rest of your life.

    if food is causing you "guilt" then you need to reexamine your relationship with food.

    there is no good or bad food, there is just food that your body breaks down for energy. hit your calorie/macro/micro goal for the day and you will be fine.

    if your profile picture is you then you really do not need to worry about losing weight or having one chocolate bar....

    ^This...and I remember a post you did a while back. You seem to have an unhealthy relationship with food. You are way too young and thin (if that is you in the pic) to worry about pancakes or a chocolate bar. Sorry, I have a daughter 20 years old, I would worry about her if she felt this "guilty" over a candy bar. 3 pounds in one week is too much. If you think you may have a problem...please talk to someone.

    I incorporate chocolate or some kind of sweet every single day. Someone smart once said "you need to have all the flavors", this includes sweet.

    I don't think I have a problem I just think once I eat Something unhealthy have been known to binge. I think I just have low self esteem and I'm curvy whilst all my friends are stick thin. X
