Out of town with my daughter for the weekend for her soccer tournament and my eating is out of control

Forgive yourself, log what you eat, and move on. Re-establish your plan- do not try to "make-up" the deficit, but rather just begin. If you have to eat out over the weekend, try to pre-plan what you will eat and pre-log. The eating out foods are generally a bit higher than what you might make at home so be a little generous with your calories while out- (you can make a large bowl of oatmeal for about 200 calories, but at McDonalds the volume is very little and about 250 calories). Eat enough so you do not feel hungry.

You will get back home and be ready to go again. All will be good. This is a marathon not a sprint and taking a little longer path is perfectly acceptable. You will be training yourself for the long term success. You've got this!

One weekend won't make a difference in the long term. It takes 3,500 calories over maintenance to make one pound of fat. You have a lifetime ahead of you.

Log everything to the best of your ability so you know where you are. It's possible if you are more active than usual that it's not as bad as you think. Then come home and carry on. Best of luck to your daughter in her tournament!

When someone says this, my first instinct is to think they mean "Oh, noes, I went off my boiled chicken and cabbage diet and ate a 200 calorie burger".

And if that's the case, I hope you enjoyed it and also had some fries with that.

jump back on track and don't let it make you feel bad or derail your plan. I read so many success stories and they all say that consistancy is what it takes.

Yeah, it happens. You know the way back. Just don't let every weekend be the 'out of control' that makes every week be a 'gain'.

You're not off track, events, holidays and social gatherings happen. Without understanding what 'out of control' means to you, take what you learn and apply it how you will be dealing with these in the future.

Perhaps just go into maintenance calories for the day or weekend when these arise. Eta some will bank calories for the weekend/events as well if planned in advance. There is a way to work through mental strategies and also stay true to your weight loss and maintaining, it takes time to work through what works for you.
