    No worries - just make up for it with exercise today. This is a marathon - small changes over time produce great results. Don't try and make too drastic of a change as those are rarely successful or sustainable. You got this!

    Don't be so hard on yourself, we all slip up now and then. Like you said, eat better today and maybe exercise a bit more than usual. Good luck

    Don't stress over 1 day! It will get better, but you will have some hard days. Try to eat regularly so you don't get so hungry that you binge at night (I need to work on this too!).

    You don't suck! It was your first day. Just do better today like you said. You can do this! Please don't give up because it is SO worth it.

    Dont be too hard on yourself. You can start again today. You can make the changes that will help you achieve your goals. Small changes EVERY day will add up over time. Keep going.

    Plan EVERYTHING the night before, that way you know what to look forward to all day long. Planning is everything for me! Whenever I get a craving for something "bad", I put it into my diet within the next couple of days and alter my day of eating around it. I get what I want plus I stay within my caloric deficit. Just PLAN PLAN PLAN!!!! It gets better!

    Don't stress it at all! Sometimes we all fall off the horse but just have to get that motivation again to hop right back on and start eating healthy and clean again. I am right there with you as I just started getting back into tracking my macros and calories again after months of not using MFP so I wish you all the best and know that you can stick with it!

    Hey hey now, its just 1 day. Dont let that get you down. Start anew and get back on track. Everyone slips up every now and then. It is how you handle it that defines you. On to day 2....

    First of all, welcome to MFP! You already made a great choice joining! Don't be so hard on yourself. Think of it this way, every day is a new day. Everyone has slip ups and you just started! Put it in the past and start new.
