REALLY messed up :(

Don't worry! We all fall off sometimes, what really matters if that you get right back on! Get back on track straight away, and then wait about a week to weigh in.

Don't beat yourself up

I'm having a rough week as far as eating well too. But family time is important so instead of beating yourself up, just pick yourself up and move forward this week. Weighing yourself and having gained is discouraging, so I'd wait an extra week to weigh yourself and see if you can at least be where you left off. We all have weeks like that so don't get too discouraged.

There's nothing you can do that will change the decisions you made, but you can make better ones and renew your resolve today! Just move forward. Don't look at it as failure, but as lessons learned. Just get back on track & don't punish yourself about what you can't change

This is life - and this is FOR life. Don't let a slip totally derail all your hard work. Start enjoying that new bike!!

Everyone has that day, or week, or month. The important thing is to wake up in the morning and just say your are going to do it. You ARE going to eat healthier. Don't worry about the bad week, don't let it get you down. And if you are worried about the scale, don't weigh yourself. Get back into your routine for a week, and then take that step. You can do it!

Everybody is going to have bumps in the road but just get back on track. If it makes you feel better do a little extra exercise. The important thing is you cannot change the past but you can keep moving forward and forgive yourself! Keep up the good work!!

Look back fondly on the time that you had with your mom.
Don't beat yourself up over the "mistakes" or indulgences just commit now to doing what you need to do and start all over.

We all take a step back or over indulge at times. I don't like to call it a failure because it really isn't. We choose to live and eat healthier to achieve a particular goal. If we take a different path, it's ok. Just get back on track and continue as you did before. One week isn't going to destroy all of your hard work.

Get into you usual habit and wait a week or two to weigh. Don't get discouraged if the scale doesn't reflect where you want it to be. It won't be where you started. No Self-Loathing Allowed!!

You can do this, you have already lost 30 and that is amazing!!! Just start fresh and don't worry about what you ate!!! I have also been there and know that in order for me to move ahead I gotta let go and not beat myself up!!!! Again you have lost 30, that is awesome!!!!

First, don't beat yourself up over it. But do look at it and learn from it. It's positive that you see where you went wrong and that will help you the next time you are tempted. Get back on track now. Start your old routines and just stick with it. Just take the first step and move along. It's all in the mindset - don't wallow in the guilt, just move past it. Weigh whenever you normally do. If that's tomorrow, so be it. You might see an increase, but that's motivation, not de-motivation. If you pay a price, it'll help you resist next time. More than likely, whatever gain you have will drop right back off anyway after a week or so. You'll just be paying the price of frustration and lost progress. I personally hate the thought of losing the same pounds twice. It's hard enough the first time.

One of the more challenging things that I have had to learn over the last few months is that relationships do not equal food. Like most of us, social activities always revolved around food. It was ingrained in my brain. Once you can make peace with the fact that you can relate to people without food in your hands, it's much easier. Actually, when I crossed that bridge it was an epiphany for me. I still socialize the same amount and have the same or better interactions with my friends. I just don't feel the need to have a plate of food and a drink in my hands when we do it. Sitting in a restaurant catching up can just as easily be done while picking at a salad instead of a steak. Socializing at a party is about conversation with friends, not raiding the buffet and the bar.

Just my 2¢. Good luck and just keep focused on the prize at the end of the road.

we all break .. tonight i ate not one but two frosted homemade brownies along with a hot dog and mac salad and a few other things... we know what were doing we know we shouldnt .. as long as it only one in awhile and we dont beat our self up over were ok.. i know i use to say oh well i already screwed up my diet today so who cares and i eat and eat some more before i know the weeks gone by and ill ive done is eat and beat my self up.. now i simly say im human i cant change 38 years of the way i ate over night it takes time. in steat of beating my self up ill go work out a little bit and say tomorrow is a new day. whats done is done you move on last week was last week if we all lived in the past everyones lives would be messed up. so start fresh tomorrow like i will and ill see you at the finish line .. best of luck

Don't beat yourself up over what you did but concentrate on now. You spent time with your Mom and enjoyed yourself. Now it is a new day and you will get back on track with tracking and exercise.
You have done so well and you will again. As for the scale. If it was me. I would get on the scale now because it would definately get me back on track whether it was a loss or a gain. But everyone is different and if that wouldn't work for you then wait a week.
Good luck with what ever you decide.

Don't worry about it, I've also lost 30 lbs, and sometimes I have weeks where I go over my calories EVERY DAY. I find drinking A LOT of water the next week, and watching what I eat, I end up breaking even. It's only 1 week, how many more weeks are left in your life? A meer 7 days is nothing compared to the rest of your life, and when you're done your weight loss, you're not going to remember this one week of endulgence. Everyone does it!! Remember the times fondly, and don't be so hard on yourself.

I noticed you said the birthday cake is tempting. Just throw it out. I've found sometimes its a hard concept to think of, but throwing out food is better than trying to rationalize eating it so it doesn't go to waste. But if it's already made, it doesn't matter if it's eaten or thrown out.

There's nothing wrong with celebrating. Just get back on track. Do a bunch of cardio, maybe ten more minutes a day than usual and just surround yourself with delicious fresh foods. In my family we believe in good, fun foods when we're together, but we all eat very healthy everyday meals. The point is, don't let it get you down. You're human and you had fun
