    I don't get the feeling guilty about eating something. That's the kind of thing that sabotages everything. If you become so obsessed over the total number of calories you're eating, the added stress just makes it worse.

    I ate Chinese food from my favorite Chinese place down the road on Monday, went over by around 1,000 calories. Still lost 2 pounds this week. One day doesn't matter. Cross it off and keep going.

    I too ate McDonald's last night and could honestly care less, really. I did not care last night and I do not care today. I was hot and tired from 3.5 hours of no a/c and picking up my loud, cute kids. For that, I deserved McDonald's and the 4 cups of wine I washed it down with. I was even still under, so today is a new day.

    But, if it is going to weigh so heavily on your mind, I would suggest not putting yourself through it again.


    *Edit: to state I do not limit myself or have any off limits foods, as long as I have made room in my goals for the day.

    i didn't get overweight because I made ONE poor choice meal. I got overweight because I made it a regular thing to "treat myself". And when I say regular thing I mean breakfast, lunch and dinner every day.

    ONE burger, fries and soda is not going to make you "Fat". You might have some temporary weight due to the sodium levels in the meal that you have eatten but that's just that. It's temporary and it's just water weight. Easier to shead than long term fat.

    Try not to feel guilty. Tomorrow is another day. Just do your regular thing on this website all will be good and be good to yourself.

    I had two burgers myself with the works last night and a full order of fries. Nothing wrong with it. I've found that as long as my average calories burned is more than what I consumed for the week then I still progress. Sounds like you were strict all week. Just go ahead and log it, then move on.

    I only have fast food several times a year because I have to worry about cholesterol and because I'm old. Otherwise I would go once a week :bigsmile:

    You are not alone... And I live in the land of cheddar, so I'm extraordinarily confused...

    I agree with everyone else, of course it's okay...I do not deprive myself of anything, I just have learned to treat myself in moderation. I mean, who doesn't love Mcd's fries! But, maybe next time you have a treat you might just have a small fry, instead of a large, that way it doesn't pack on tons of calories but you still get you McD's treat. That's what I do. Instead of mowing down a bag of ships I have a small handfull if I'm in the mood. stuff like that:) don't beat yourself up regardless.
