You feel depressed because you had McDonalds for breakfast? Why do you eat there if it makes you sad?1

Did you eat all your calories for the day? Even if you did, make good choices the rest of the day, train/exercise, move on and get to tomorrow. Maybe look up a nice breakfast recipe you can prepare tonight for tomorrow?2

Mcdonalds is the happiest place on earth...don't feel depressed.
Just use it as impetus to eat better the rest of the day3 -
it's easy to let that get to you, but try not to. first of all, mcdonald's breakfast as part of a varied diet isn't all that bad. it has protein, carbs and fat in similar ratios to many 'healthful' breakfasts. it may be a little more calorie dense than you would like, but it won't derail your progress or slow your momentum if you don't let it.
log your breakfast and move on. go for a walk if you want to make up some of the calories, or just eat less the rest of the day. Or just decide that today you may be a little over your goal even if you stay on track for the rest of the day. it's no big deal.
you would have to eat 3,500 calories over your maintenance to gain a pound. that's close to 7 sausage egg and cheese biscuits.3 -

One bad meal does not constitute a bad day. It was one slip up. Now get back on track.3

Don't feel bad, it happens to the best of us. What I do when I do something like that is eat a little less the rest of the week depending on how much I went over. If you go over 500 on a Sunday then you can shave off 100 calories until Saturday. Then there's the option of exercising it off.1

I am battling an eating disorder so i am extremely terrified right now1

You could definitely do worse. I, for example, ate chocolate cake for breakfast today. You just have to learn how to have a short-term memory with things like that and move on to do great things. You got this, OP!2

I ate Mcdonalds almost every day last week. Still lost. You just have to budget those calories if you like the food.3

It wasn't a bad decision, friend. You know you have an eating disorder, so you also know that your thinking is slightly skewed! I'm so glad you posted here today. Having anything for breakfast is not ruining your whole day, it's just starting your day. Allow yourself your breakfast and enjoy it in peace. Log it. I had a sausage and egg with cheese mcmuffin yesterday, it was only 330 cals. Be sure to move your body as much as you can, and tell yourself that eating is completely NORMAL.
Are you seeing someone about this?3 -

Mmm no. Its very private and this is the only place i talk about it. I am doing better than before. Sometimes its just comforting to have someone tell you its ok and the bad feeling will pass!2 -
It was a bad decision. I dont even know why i did it.. i wasnt even hungry!
It is designed to be tasty and borderline addictive. Also convenient, and cheap.
You are one VERY SMALL woman fighting against 30,000 years of genetics through which most of your ancestors were literally starving.
PLUS a gigantic multinational corporation for whom "Billions and Billions served" is a badge of honor.
One look at your PP tells me you are winning!

Thanks.. this made me feel better. I know sometimes i am too hard on myself but today i just really pissed myself off haha. I keep this to myself and i think im on the up and up for the most part. I need to eat more calories. I just have anxiety whenever i eat so this morning has been especially hard since the one meal is more calories than i usually eat in a day.2 -
