    I wouldn't worry as long as meals like that are only once in a while! I've definitely had meals like that, but it hasn't hindered my overall success. Don't be too hard on yourself. :-)

    1500? That's all? Thats one bad day at JitB!

    Like others have stated before, it happens to us all. Still it is a hard realization. The bright side is that you are increasing awarenss to prevent it in the future.

    I have a big cheat meal once every few weeks, its better to go crazy once every now and again, than to be a little bit naughty quite often. Feel free to add me, im looking for like minded people

    one 1500 calorie meal once is probably better than constanly being over your limit right? Isn't there a limit to how much food you're body will process? The rest will just poop out?

    Friend, it happens. Chalk it up to experience and move on. I have horrible struggles with Filipino food too!

    - I love it and it does not love me back. I have to be super careful.

    Yes, I truly understand that...btw, I'm Filipina..(so the holidays get me as well) love the parties, haha..anyhow...I would suggest your first meal be loaded with protein & veggies with a carb..or a big filler, such as Hot cereal, such as oatmeal with blueberries or strawberries..it will help you stay fuller longer and help in making better food choices as well... I see the first meal you had doritos in part of your meal..hehe..anyhow..I would suggest..meal planning would help you..so plan the night before..so you won't have to stress on what to eat.. Maybe keeping like some protein bars on you at all times...for those snack days, that your unable to get to eat.. One day isn't going to hurt..just know the next time you have that choice, figure..do I really want to have to tear it up at the gym later for what I just demolished now.. someone said.."can I afford that? (like in monetary value vs. calorie value)..I have a crazy schedule, myself..so i plan on burning them on a daily basis...:smile: Hope this helps!:flowerforyou:

    Everyone is different..you can add me if you want..I have 5-6 meals a day and it works for me...

    eh 1 meal won't sabotage a diet and 1500 isn't that big

    And if you prefer larger meals, eat more infrequently but larger meals. you made find it more satiating

    Don't beat yourself up over it. It's just one meal. Hell I drink 1500 cals in beer on Fridays and sometimes more on saturdays. Seems like I'm only healthy during the week so I can drink on the weekends.
