No dinner for me tonight...

i had a bag of chips today and feel bad! but didnt eat much lunch. Just take it as 1 day and move on. think that tomorrow will be better. you can do this.

Have a nice healthy dinner and start again tomorrow. We all have bad days!

it's ok. hit the gym, eat a salad for dinner, and hit it again tomorrow. you will succeed.

We all have setbacks. I don't think skipping dinner is the answer, unless you just flat out aren't hungry. Try to work in extra exercise this evening or tomorrow to make up for a bit of today's snacking. Tomorrow is a new day to start again fresh!

Good heavens , don't starve yourself tonight, try and eat lost of veggies for dinner like Broccoli, Green Beans, Spinach and drink a ton of water to help keep you full as well.

The veggies will give you lots of fiber, and have minimal impact on your colories, the water will also keep you nice and full. Whatever you do don't go hungry for too long because you're liable to end up eating more stuff that's just not too good for you.

i agree with the others, have a small, healthy dinner and move on.
one other thing I noticed in your diary, you didn't have any protein in the morning which may have caused your blood sugar to spike and drop. this can cause really strong cravings for more sugar. we can't rely on willpower alone so don't beat yourself up. you may want to check out some info about Glycemic Index and there is a great book and website called the G.I. diet. Its not promoting any particular diet or lifestyle (like high protein, vegetarian or whatever) but it helps to understand how to keep blood sugar stable which is very helpful for losing weight, reducing cravings and improving or preventing diabetes.
best of luck to you!

A large lunch doesn't necessarily mean no dinner. I had a calorie-packed steak lunch yesterday and thought for sure I had blown my meal plan for the day. Instead, I calculated everything here on MFP, hit the Wii Fit and recumbent bike for 72 minutes, had a light dinner and was still 5 calories under my goal for the day. Even if you're over your calories today, tomorrow is another day to get back on track. We all have our "off" days. That you're acknowledging that fact works wonders in how you will go forth. You CAN do it! : )

I agree that one day is just that. I even plan for 1 day every other week to have a bit bore than usuall but looking at your food diary I think there may be a bigger issue here. I think you starved yourself into this day.

Here is my observation and thoughts from the trenches. Hope these ideas help..
Breakfast:
You are eating very small breakfasts. 100 to 200 calories. I am a big believer in giving yourself a really good breakfast to get your metabolism going. I know if I eat a good breakfast I feel more in control the rest of the day. One of the things we can learn from nutritionists who work with diabetics is that things work best if the blood sugar is kept at a steady rate troughout the day. They are told that eating 5 small meals is better than 3 big ones. The point hear is to spread out the callories. 100 for breakfast may leave you a lot for dinner and snacks but you are not feeding your body what it needs. Try upping your calories here to around 300. Get more than one type of food. Avoid anything with sugar.

Processed food. Lets be real here. Food companies want us to be fat. If it comes in a package you can bet that there are some chemicals involved. We all need some convienience foods once in a while but try to keep these to the exception not the rule.

White sugar and white flour. Remember that your body sees white fkour as sugar. Try eating more whole grains. Once you have eated them for a while you realize that they are full of flavor and white flower is tasteless.

Good luck, You have worked hard. If you blow it again forgive yourself andf eat a healthy dinner. Skipping a meal really never helps.

My first thought was "holy *kitten*" my second thought was yesterday I ate:
my normal omlette
1 ounce sausage
and then it all went to the sh*tter. I went to a 3 yo's birthday party that had no fresh fruit or veg (everything was canned and/or processed), came home and ate the cupcake, a pudding pop, 4 tbsp salsa with 10 quakes and washed it all down with a woodchuck cider . . . awesome. Sometimes it's not our weak moments that define our success, but whether or not we can pick ourselves up after those weak moments.

Don't beat yourself up about it. It is just one day..get up and dust yourself off....and start again tomorrow. You can do this!

The past two days you went super over, and the reason to ME is that it's a whole lot of sweets/sugar. The more sugary stuff I eat, the more I crave. Like out of control crave. Try and nix that stuff and fit in a lot of clean whole food. Eat a much bigger breakfast with some protein too. You are a beautiful young girl, and you can do this. Tomorrow is a bright new day!

Wow.

I have just read everybody's responses and I am amazed at the support and advice.

You're all right. Today is a new day and I shouldn't let one day get me down so much like it did yesterday.

I went to body pump and body balance after work and even did half an hour cardio in the gym after that. And guess what, I ATE DINNER.

I noticed that a few of you were saying that due to being 500 - 800 calories under for the majority of last week, it would appear that I am making up for that now!

Those calories were due to doing A LOT of exercise, not starving myself, but it just goes to show that I really should try and eat back all of my exercise calories.

Thank you all so much! :-)

Great job! Glad you ate dinner.

Yes, do start eating your exercise calories back (you can under eat them slightly if you want, but I wouldn't be so far under).

I'm glad you are feeling better today
