I had lunch today at my mama's house , and I took with me my lunch(Greek salad) but I ate a lot of my mama's special meatballs which added so many calories. After lunch , we had tea with cake and I took 2 slices. I really wanted to eat them but still I feel bad :(. Does anyone have any idea about how to compensate today's f**k up??

    Ditto, no reason not to treat ourselves now and then. These foods aren't forbidden forever!! Enjoy and move on. I also like the saying "if you ate it, negate it" as in exercise off those calories. LOL

    Drink lots of water and toss in a bit more exercise today and tomorrow and it will all work out. Just don't do anything more today and tomorrow just stay focused on your goals.

    Good Luck!

    Stay accountable and log the calories ..all you can do is take a nice brisk walk to clear your mind and get some burn in

    drink tons of water,take an extra walk after dinner, and just keep moving forward with your fitness goals tomorrow. one day won't hurt you - just stay on track tomorrow.

    Girl you can do some walking at home with Leslie Sansone right in your living room. if you can't find her on TV her videos are always online. Do a mile or two before bed!

    Water, Water, Water

    Up your calories by getting a workout in

    Or...if you really just want this day to be over just brush it off...tomorrow's a new day!

    Don't beat yourself up!

    I would *sweat* it. :) Be a good time to work off your frustration, lose some calories in the meantime. :)

    Either work out later today or just let it go and start fresh tomorrow. A person cannot hurt their diet with one day of indulgences. Tomorrow is another day! :happy:

    I always tell myself if I do the "crime" to do the "time". Just work out extra hard next time. No biggie;0)

    Burn some of those calories off. Everyone has days like this, you just have to learn form it. Next time, eat 1 less meatball and maybe 1/2 the cake. It's ok. The fact that you are keeping yourself accountable speaks volumes to your dedication. Now go for a walk...or do some jumping jacks or turn on some music and dance :)

    You might feel less hungry tomorrow, and if so, make the most of it by eating less. Otherwise, if you're as hungry as normal, just treat tomorrow as another day. The last thing you need is to set off a deprive/binge cycle.
