I get home and my husband brought me a piece of double cream lemon pie.I am not really big fan of sweets but I took a bite. Then another. No pie left...500 calories In my body in mere minutes. I have been so good all week! Ugh! I always have such HIGH self control and USUALLY I can have just one bite. I really needed an exercise break today because I have been on it everyday this week but now my pie eating *kitten* is going to be working up a sweat and working off that delicious lemon pie!

Wow! I feel better by confessing :)

    It's ok! One day really isn't going to do much damage. Sometimes giving in to a craving is necessary, and now you'll be good for a while.

    =) Cheer up!

    One day won't make much difference and the stress of not having it would probably be worst for your body then the extra calories you've got. Even if you went over your daily allowance you can always compensate tomorrow with some extra exercise.
    That's what I do on my "cheat days".

    Savor the moment!!

    aw, don't feel bad. We all do that sometimes. But at least you were aware of what you did and you will do better tommorow.

    I can relate.

    You are human like the rest of us. Stuff like that will happen.

    Tomorrow is a new day.

    Oh my gosh, I know how you feel!! I literally just snarfed what was left of my bbq kettle chips...I'm guessing about 300 cals! I got emotional and needed comfort food, here lately it has been really hard to have control!!

    You are okay girl, its not an everyday thing so don't be too worried. If you are too strict with yourself all the time you will break eventually and have something worse, and more of it. So savor that yummy pie,put it behind you and remember to take breathers every one in a while from the fitness and diet routine.:)

    Don't beat yourself up. We all have to splurge once in a while. The key is getting back on track! :happy:

    My rule has always been that if "I don't even take the first bite I am good but as soon as I take one bite......it's all over from here."

    I agree! But that wasn't a treat! A treat is a Starbucks or a bagel for me! Okay enough of my little pity party, I Gotz me 5 miles to run :)

    One more thing....I think the real reason I am upset is because I feel like I wasn't in control. I could care less about the calories.

    I think it's safe to say that we ALL have done this. Otherwise we wouldn't be on mfp. It's just one slip-up; there will be more, and yes the scale may not be your friend for the next day or so, but try not to lose all of your progress based on this one mistake! No one is perfect all the time! :)

    It happens. What's important is that you REALIZE how you were feeling and will be able to recognize those same feelings next time.

    If you felt like you weren't in control, then when was the last time you allowed yourself to have a slice? If you keep denying and denying yourself just a little, then when the whole pie finally comes it's gone! I'm not saying satisfy your every whim. But if this is your favorite dessert then don't wait so long before letting yourself have a piece. It's a lifestyle. Not a diet. :wink:

    I lose control when I'm in the vicinity of red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. I might not even want the second one, but I do it every. time.

    One day won't kill you. That being said, good motivation! Additionally, some studies state that an acute influx of calories for a small period (1 to 2 days) could actually raise your metabolism. You just may burn it off quicker than you realize.
