The guilt over what I just ate :-(

BREATH!

so you had pizza but you did not eat the whole thing,its all a part of a lifestyle change we all have been there done that, just get back on track asap and remember if your doing great 95% of the time then this one dip wont hurt you.

tomorrow is a new day pick it up from there and drop all of the guilt.

Just get over it and do it right tomorrow. Everything in moderation. Even being good. If you treat yourself from time to time you will find the next time you want pizza you won't feel like you need to eat 4 slices.

Whats done is done. Now move on solider and start marching on again.

I totally understand. I have logged the Tostitos and Con Queso dip I plan on having later, and it will put me over by 75 calories (not to mention the sodium and fat), and in the grand scheme of things, its only one day, its only 75 cals, but I still feel guilty. I'm gonna have those chips though! It's amazing how guilt can take over our minds so easily.

LOL everybody does that! As long as it's not every day...you've just confused your metabolism:-D

No way would I be sick and waste that! You're working hard here, the odd day off won't hurt. Don't let the guilt ruin it! :-)

I am learning how to post on this site and I accidentally just stole someone's quote...OOPS. It doesnt hurt to cheat every once in awhile and I think it actually takes some of the pressure off. Dont be so hard on yourself. Nobody can be good all of the time. Have an awesome day.

I do that on average twice a month. I see no reason to deprive myself of pizza. I love pizza! And since there's a Dominos tens minutes from my apartment, and when my roomate offers to pay for the whole thing, I have a hard time refusing. My roomate doesn't like what I get on my pizza (tomatos/feta/peperoni) so he usually lets me have a whole one to myself. I make it last a few days, but 4 slices of fresh pizza is devine.

Just think of it as one day or one meal, and you'll get back on the wagan tomorrow or at your next meal. That's what I do. I used to feel guilty over everything, and it's not fun. Slap yourself on the wrist and get back to living life!

Crippling yourself with guilt over a minor food error really isn't going to help you much. We all have bumps along the way - heavy eating days. You don't need to punish yourself, you don't need to 'make this up'. If it were a daily occurrence you'd need to worry. But for today, all you need to do is pick yourself up, dust yourself off and get on with your next day. Don't worry about it.

We need to learn to uncouple food and emotion - or at least reduce the intensity of the emotional tie we've made between them. Food isn't comfort. Food isn't something we 'treat' ourselves with. Food isn't 'naughty' or 'good'. It isn't helpful to whip ourselves into a frenzy because we made an unproductive food choice. As much as possible, we need to unpick the emotional valence we give to our eating. It's absolutely ok to enjoy food for what it is, without making it into a big emotional deal.

Take care of yourself, and don't be too hard on yourself about this.

Im glad you decided ..not to barf it up lol ...( i know thats not funy but it kinda is) This is really gross and i am not suggesting it but sometime i chew food and spit it in the garbage...:ohwell:

Next time, get a small personal pizza and pair it with a gigantic salad with a light dressing. When I was on the gluttony train, I didn't think reasonable moderation would work for me, but it turns out I am capable, and that I CAN be satisfied with less than four giant slices of pizza. You can be, too. It doesn't have to be all or nothing, and I know how hard it is to get away from that thinking. Make a plan for next time, so when the craving hits, you're not bowled over by it.

that is the cool thing about MFP. Just log it and move on. It's not as big a deal as you are making it!

I just had my favorite fast food meal ever and am now 593 calories over. Tomorrow I will be good. No big thing. Gotta splurge every now and then.

BESIDES! You're 175 calories over. That's no big thing!

You need a 500 calorie deficit per day to lose 1 lb per week. So? You're still under the calorie threshold for weight loss, PLUS you got to enjoy some yummy pizza.

You GO girl!

Oh, gosh, 175 over isn't bad at all, so long as it's not a daily thing! You could walk for half an hour or so and take care of that!

I was thinking HUGE overage, like a thousand or more calories! 175 is perfectly respectable!

I bet you enjoyed EVERY bite!! I get what u mean about barfing it back up but thats not a road u want to get started on . .it gets addictive. If you treat this as a lifestyle change rather than a diet then u also need to accept that 'life gets in the way sometmes' . . enjoy it . .but get back on track tommorow . .and 'stuff' the guilt!! Good luck

My motto has been if I want something to have it and have it in moderation. If you don't have it you will crave it until you give in and then way over do it. I don't think four slices of pizza is a lot as I use to be able to eat a whole 12" Tombstone by myself. Just just back on the wagon at the next meal or next day. It happens to all of us. Keep up the good work. If we didn't feel quilty we wouldn't be on here trying to get healthy.
