    I have bad days all the time. But that's why I log... ok so I went 2000 over. That's just 4-5 days of deficit to break even. That's nothing.. I've been at this for almost 3 years! What's 4 days vs 3 years? I've lost 80 pounds and been maintaining for 16 months.

    Log it. Move on.

    About as much as 1 good day makes you thin

    I like that. Well said.

    Thank you for sharing, sometimes we forget that we don't have to do it perfectly all the time.

    I incorporate a cheat day once a week. Preferably on Sundays. It's a relief and I still skip my snack in order to load up on lunch or dinner. I still end up losing, because I have a conscious boost from it to lose more. It's like a vacation.

    Don't worry about it but figure out how to stop bingeing. I have been working very hard at learning how to eat out. I have been talking with people who have lost a lot of weight and ask them what they do when they eat out. And I have been practicing. Five successes in the past month.

    They figure 3500cal=1 pound if you are 1500 calories over maintenance thats almost .5lbs or another way to think of it is if you are at a 500cal a day deficit you lost 3 days worth of work, you didnt put on all that extra weight in 3 days it probably took years, 3 days isnt much in the grand scheme of things.

    This.
