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.
Thank you! In my head I have already gained 5 pounds and im terrified.. so thank you so much for this message!!1 -

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.
Thanks girl!
i have to get my butt moving and then i will feel better!
I just noticed you posted about having an eating disorder, are you speaking with a professional? You should bc they could hep you more than any of us. Everyone wants to see you doing your best.2 -

Thanks! I plan on it!!!1 -

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!

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?
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 -

Not diagnosed with anything. I just have a very unhealthy relationship with food. I am much better now eating between 600-800 calories a day (occasionally 1000 or even 1500)... i know its not where i need to be but its better than nothing 2 -

600-800 is mean for your body. Let me take you in a waffle trip. Talk to a nutritionist and get help on a regular diet. I am serious.
I am 28 hahaha no waffles for me! But i really am getting back to better eating! Just need a little bit more each day but thank you!!1
