Made a classic mistake yesterday, not enough planning, didn't have time to eat dinner before going to the cinema and I was unable to resist the Ben & Jerry ice cream. I bought the tub home to check the calories, and it was 400, this tiny little tub!!!

Then today I misread the calories on a Soured Cream and Chive Dip. I thought it was 74kc for 100g, after eating the whole 200g pot with some carrot sticks, it turned out to be 74kc for 50g. Urrrgggh

    Log it and call it a day.
    when I have a mistake like that, I own it, try to learn from my mistake so I will not repeat it again.
    Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and go back to your nutrition plan. Past is prologue

    Good luck in your healthy journey

    You are so right, thank you for your kind words. I will not make the same mistakes, just disappointed with myself but tomorrow will be a better day. Hope you are doing well.

    It happens. It's fine. A few mistakes won't wreck all your hard work. Just try to plan better and you'll be fine. This is a learning process and nobody is perfect

    +1 I've done the same thing on occasion and it feels like a worse setback than it actually is. Just keep on going and it will work itself out. <3

    It's okay. I have a pint of Ben and Jerry's every Sunday night (Roasted & Toasted was last night). it makes it way easier to focus for six days when you know you have a treat waiting.

    Thanks scorpiophoenix and My_Butt. I am not exercising at all and I guess I get a bit paranoid with the food. I intend to have a much more sensible approach to it in the future.
