@BMcC9
With regards your exercise bike calories – I would suspect that estimate of 365 calories is a bit high. If you’re entering the exercise manually why not use a lower figure? I only get 100 calories for 30 minutes (cycling outdoors at about 10 mph on varied terrain). Where did the 365 come from? If I remember rightly, you are small – like me – so a very high calorie count seems unlikely.

Exercise - 15 minutes MommaStrong, 45 minutes walking
Tracking - Planned the day and mostly followed the plan, but not entirely
Calories - Over
Pass Day #6 (I think)
I had the leftovers of my favorite "healthy" meal that I wrote about yesterday, so Calories were planned to be over from the beginning. And then even though I had stated my intention not to, I did use that as an excuse to be sloppy with tracking and eat some extras. But not too bad I think - it's not reflected in my weight today anyway.
I have actually no experience with people being mean to me for saying no to food, because I never have said no to food
I said emotional eating is not really my issue, celebration eating is. I have not eaten at a party since March 2020, so this December I will be coming back to it. I have always felt that parties are occasions to eat whatever. I have some social anxiety and that feeds into it - eating is a great thing to do with my hands, way to get out of a conversation, thing to calm me down, way to make the party fun even if it isn't otherwise. We are planning to go to between 1 and 3 gatherings this Christmas, so I do need to think about what my plan is this year. I don't drink anymore so that should help both with willpower/remembering and total calories - although actually I don't think any of these particular gatherings should have alcohol.
I don't think at any of these people care particularly what I am doing, so I don't think food pusher strategies are necessary (not to say they never are, just for me in this situation). I think I just need to go in with a plan and a goal. I think they probably will be pass days, but trying not to go crazy. I'll need to remember that the goal of it is to see people, not to eat. I think holidays 2019 I made sure to remove myself from the table when I was done eating and go supervise the kids elsewhere - which was somewhat necessary anyway but also helped me not continue mindlessly eating. That was after I had eaten a lot, but did save me from myself somewhat.2 -

Late last night I realized I hadn’t exercised! I was so proud of myself for tracking and not overeating at the party that it never occurred to me that I hadn’t exercised! What a dope. So……

Fascinating topic. I don't have anything to add other than to think about my own behaviors in those situations and how I handle (or don't handle) it.
Unfortunately another pass day for me. Got lots of exercise in, but all this eating out is wreaking havoc on my tracking and calories. This little vacation of sorts has taught me that I will most likely never be an intuitive eater. If and when I get to maintenance, it is going to require tracking and logging.4 -
Thanks for the great opener @LazyBlondeChef ... love your admission that you have a no nonsense approach on this topic.
I am a severe people pleaser type personality which means I generally have succumbed to pushing pressure in the past. This time around, I am much stronger in my convictions to say no to things that do not serve me. This is a growing process for me beyond even just the topic of weight loss.
Despite the progress being made, I can still be extremely set off / triggered by this type of behavior. Back in October I was on a road trip with my Mom and husband and my Mom basically told me to just accept I would gain weight on the trip. This wasn't even pushing in a direct way but it was basically her way of trying to convince me it was okay to let loose. Unfortunately this mentality is exactly why I never put myself first before - because everything was a reason to let loose.
Anyway, I'm still working on this but it's great to have your strategies, to know your triggers in this area, and to have a plan for when you are able to keep to your plan, and when you're not!4 -

Not if girl, WHEN
I feel the same - logging and tracking is part of my new norm
