I feel a little down. First time today since i started my challenge. Went over 707. It was a yummy meal.

    I don't really have unexpected overages so it doesn't bother me. Also, I aim for a weekly average but try not to go too extreme on underages/overages on a daily basis. I like to keep it within 300 calories on either side.

    Agreed. If it happens, pick up and move on. One day isn't a big deal.

    The only time I feel down about it is if it was just a huge waste. Like I was just mindlessly eating crap I don't even like or want. If I have something really tasty it's worth it and I don't feel bad. Life's too short to not enjoy that fabulous piece of chocolate cake from time to time.

    I don't worry about it as long as I stay within my maintenance calories for the week, as I won't be gaining weight from it. the worst thing that will happen is one week longer to reach my goal.

    No biggie. It is just one day.

    Log it and move on. Don't beat yourself up.

    OP, three days ago you posted that you've always got calories left at the end of the day because you're not hungry. Check your weekly net total and try to reach your goals over a week. If you're under-eating by a lot on some days, that may explain why you went over today...but it might all work out right over 7 days.
    This. It evens out over the week. OP, if you're really that upset about going over for just one day even tough your other days were short, it may be best to talk to someone.

    If you go over in calories one day, sleep well and don't go over the next day. If you do go over the next day, sleep well and don't go over the next next day. Eventually, you don't go over and you can conserve the nexts. When you get good at not going over, you lose weight.

    Just don't sweat it and keep it rolling. One day isn't going to hurt you as much as you think, its when you do this consistently is when it hurts. If its something that bothers you that much tho just go do some cardio and burn it off.

    Like a boss for actually being able to eat that much.

    I feel great -because my goal is to gain weight. If I go under for one day I don't worry - one day makes little difference if the overall trend is what you're aiming for

    This. Look at your weekly totals and see where your calorie intake is at.
