I've done really good for almost 2 weeks. And I've some how lost 10 pounds which is great.
But today was horrible. And I just turned to food when I got home. And ate passed maintenance
I know its one day but I took the bad day and topped it with bad food and took much of it. Now I feel even worse because I have junk food in my stomach. Just felt like venting might help.

    venting can help. last night I went to the pub for a meal with friends and ended up eating *kitten* and have a few to many drinks. We just get back on the horse and keep going forward. today is a new day and better choices.

    Don't worry about it. We all have off days. Even if you feel like today was "ruined," pick yourself back up, and recommit starting right now. Taking up a healthier lifestyle means making the right decisions multiple times a day. So don't punish yourself for it--learn from it and keep going :)

    Just brush yourself off and get back on the horse.

    I recently had an epiphany. I've always been one to do good for a few weeks, lose a little weight, then give up and gain it back. I do this every year. A few months ago I did really good and kept it up longer than usual. I lost 17 lbs. Then I had a bad day and gave up...for 2 whole months. I was mad at myself and avoiding the scale. Then a couple weeks ago I made myself get on it. I had gained 5 lbs back. At first I was really upset but then I realized that I was still down 12 lbs! I could start back up and still be down those 12 lbs. I was still ahead of it! So I started back up and I'm feeling pretty good. I'm not going to let a bad day, week, or even month make me give up because I'll still be ahead.

    Remember this moment for the next time and find a different outlet for frustration such as: cooking a healthy meal, going for a walk, play video games (so you're using your hands).

    Pretend it never happened. Drink lots of water to flush it out and then resume as normal. No big deal....life happens. Who knows? It could even bump up your metabolism!

    I agree with Wakeup2014 above.. Infact it has happened too many times for me that I've been stuck on a weight for some time. And then when I think I pigged out and the battle is lost, my body surprises me with a loss!! So sometimes its actually a good thing to do. Please dont feel horrible, this only shows you're human!! :)

    I've done that too...a few times. It takes time to change our habits. The key is to not give up
