    I still log my day, no matter how bad it may look. If I can't even be honest with myself on the bad day then what is this whole journey for. Log it and move on!

    I've only been here a week, and most my days seem mediocre at best. With 2-3 pretty bad days (when I was drinking. Damn, never new vodka had so much calories! haha). Just log and move on, at least you wont forget about it, and can continue to keep track of your progress and will understand why, if there were any stalls in it :)
    I seem to incorporate some chocolate or crisps or no cal drinks into almost everyday it seems ,yet I still log them :)

    I log it. I believe in removing the guilt from eating, and just taking it in as information I can use in the future to understand my eating habits, including what causes me to binge on occasion.

    I usually leave it blank, but I logged my horrible eating day yesterday.

    stop the shame...if you think you're going to be 100% on all of the time, you're in for a real struggle. It's a day...in the grand scheme of things it's pretty much irrelevant. Move on.

    I log everything, although sometimes I don't until the next day out of shame.

    I can't stand not knowing approximately how many calories I intake, as I count on a weekly total, rather than daily.

    I have bad days every few weeks but it hasn't stopped me.

    what makubu said, log and nove on. Beating yourself up or having regrets is dull, especially if its a one off. Try and learn from it though.

    I log every single calorie, the good and the bad. Even if you are over on a day or two during the week, it doesn't mean you'll still not be in a deficit at the end of the week. Which is why i pay more attention to my weekly deficit rather than my daily one.

    Just log, but not shamelessly. Logging is for accountability. Bad days happen, but we come back, and we log. We don't pretend it didn't happen - because pretending the days we don't do everything ideally doesn't help us actually learn to cope with them and be able to move on from them in a healthy way. It's okay! Just get back on the horse.

    I log it so I can look back on it when I am eating better and realize how long it takes to "fix" not so smart choices. :)

    Generally I don't log it if it was unplanned and outrageous. Logging it creates a feeling of guilt for me. When I don't log it I feel more like "aye, I effed up, but I'll start again tomorrow".
    I'm NOT recommending this for you or anyone lol. Just being truthful about how I operate.

    I log it. I am very good at lying to myself. My doctor told me once that most of his patients die of denial.

    If I drank an entire bottle of wine for dinner, I log it. If I eat 8 mini candy bars as a snack , I log it. No matter what. I use MFP to be accountable to myself and logging the good, the bad and the ugly is part of that for me.

    Log it and don't bother feeling shame. It's one day of the rest of your life.
