    Breathe!
    One day of over indulging is ok...exercise as you normally would .Drink water, and DON"T STEP ON THE SCALE.

    Tomorrow is a new day. Go back to your normal caloric intake, keep drinking water and exercise as you normally would. You will be fine, don't panic.

    Exercise and start over tomorrow. That's what the great thing is about this site and about your lifestyle change. If you mess up one day, you start over the next.

    This is not a diet but a lifestyle change and there will be days that we go over. You just make up doing exercising the next week.

    You can do it.

    take a walk or get a workout in and don't worry about it! That's why I loke to log it before I eat it, it's not so likely to creep up on ya that way.

    if you want to know how many calories you can eat to maintain your current weight you can change you settings to maintain current weight (instead of lose 1 pound or 1/2 pound or 2 pounds). see what that number is just as a reference point then you can change it back to your original setting

    Forgive yourself for a bad day...it'll be pretty impossible to exercise 1000 calories off in one day, but make an effort to burn "some" calories either by walking or going to the gym. Most likely you'll burn around 200 but...tomorrow is a new day. Start fresh and maybe don't set your calorie goal to 1,200 if that is to far from an amount you are comfortable with. Perhaps bumping it up to 1,500 is more doable for you? Yes, more calories every day means *slower* weight loss but what's worse, eating 2,300 calories a day or eating 1,500 a day? By the way, you'll still lose if you only eat 1,500 a day, so no worries. Most people are so polar opposite that they don't realize that they need to go at a more comfortable pace, and I'm finding that out myself.

    Relax. Exercise a bit. Drink some tea or cold water. 2,000 calories doesn't mean your diet is ruined. Just work out extra hard or consume less tomorrow. 2,000 isn't even a pound, so you'll be okay.
