    Just move on, no point dwelling on it.

    You're human, and we all have an off day. One day is not going to derail all the effort and weeks of good eating.

    Try your best today.

    That day looks like it was fun.

    Just put it behind you and move on - get back to your usual habits today and don't try to 'make up for it' by restricting or anything like that. Life happens.

    Lol, fabulous!!

    OP, just jump back on, it was one day - no guilt! Probably minimal damage if any. Really if you've been pretty diligent about 2100 cals up to that point, you probably have a good deficit banked up anyway.

    Its life. I don't understand why people think that they are going to have all "ups" and no "downs". This is going to happen the rest of your life because there will always be birthday cake, a few drinks with friends or you just want an ice cream on a summer day. If you can accept that and have more days that are healthy than not, your doing great. Allow yourself a break because life is too short to feel guilty over 1000 extra calories every once in a while. Put that energy into going to the gym today :)

    log it, own it, and move on. One day of overeating is not going to wreck your progress.

    lol and that is not a Blow up day in my mind! for me that would have been a slightly over maintenance day and would have chalked it up as 1 day.

    You logged it! Awesome job! Today is a new day, so just get back on track. One day is not an issue :)

    I came in expecting the OP to talk about being picked up running naked down the street covered in green body paint singing "Popular". Imagine my disappointment.

    So yeah, what they said above. Log it and get back on point tomorrow. You probably won't even see that much on the scale past a few days.

    I'm going to assume you're set on losing 1lb a week, which means that you were only 432 calories over maintenance. That's about 1/8th of a pound.

    Even if you're set to maintenance, 932 calories isn't even 1/3 of a pound.

    It's not a huge deal. Let it go and move on.

    I'm just impressed anyone can log calories whilst (yeah, I said whilst...) drinking.

    Get back to your regularly scheduled programme.

    And say 5 Hail Marys as well.

    Great job logging!
    You didn't mess anything up with just one day but it is an opportunity to reflect on the behavior. Decide if you want to use that many calories on alcohol in one day again. Notice the lack of nutrition for all those calories that day. Are you okay with that occasionally or does it bother you? Plan what you will do next time- do the exact same thing, stick to fewer alcoholic drinks and have more food, drink something lower calorie, etc. Then move on.
