I took the Children's Church roller skating today and we went to eat at a Chinese buffet. I ate around 2,500-3,000 calories as a rough estimate! I am so mad at myself.

    There's nothing you can do now except not do it again! Get back to business right away and LET IT GO!! Drink plenty of water tomorrow! :glasses:

    It happens. Drink some extra water, and start over tomorrow. It's all good!

    What's done is done! Do some cardio and put it in the past!

    Learn from the past, and stop wallowing in your guilt and misery. It is counterproductive. Learn from your mistake, and move on.

    Learn how to control portions, especially at buffets.

    I can understand your feelings, but...1)Did you enjoy your outing with the Children's Church? 2)Were you a good example to them in your words and actions? 3)Does overindulging really matter that much in light of your ministry? 4)Remember tomorrow is a new day...do better then! :D

    Ps. This is meant to be an encouragement. :D

    Hey if you were roller skating great. You and some kids had some fun. Don't beat yourself over it. Tomorrow is a new day. One bad day cannot and will not ruin your life.

    Sometimes you have to let yourself slide.

    Start fresh tomorrow. :-)

    I know exactly how you feel. We do so good and feel great and it takes one event or one meal where we go overboard and all of a sudden it feels as if we took 10 steps backwards. We always have tomorrow to make up for today. So don't beat yourself up too much, lets just agree to start over tomorrow and no longer make today a big factor. We can't change what we did, we can only try not to do it again. I'm ready to start over tomorrow full force. I've been doing poorly for about three or more days and its taking everything in me to get back on track but I know I have no choice it has to be done because I refuse to keep getting bigger. Good luck and don't give up on self.

    And it isn't the end of the world. Dust yourself off and get back into it tomorrow... Don't worry, we STILL support you! :bigsmile:

    I plan on hitting up the chinese buffet next weekend and I don't feel bad at all! Accepting that I won't have a perfect diet everyday and allowing myself to splurge once in a great while keeps me sane. Try not to feel too bad! :smile:

    I used to struggle with eating disorders and self-image issues as a teenager and through various points in my adult life. So, I understand overindulgence and hating myself as a result... It's not easy but the more you can let go and not stress out about not being perfect, the better it gets. I eat extremely healthy most of the time. However, last weekend I went on a weekend getaway and knew I would be indulging. I gave myself permission. I didn't stress out. I got a few stomach aches as a result of my indulgences! But, I got home and back on the bandwagon with my diet and exercise and it was all WORTH IT. :-)

    I was totally shocked when I came home from what I *thought* was a reasonable trip to the Chinese buffet with my family (tried to be really careful!) and started entering my foods....shocked and disgusted! I can't believe how many calories those foods have. :/

    I totally agree with all of the other posters: let it go and move past. Start again tomorrow and stay away from those places. (For me, I decided if I was going to blow it that wasn't worth it and I'd go for pizza. LOL)

    Yeah, that happens...but all you can do is not let it mess with your head and get back into the game as soon as possible. If it was dinner just don't eat anything else today and vow that tomorrow you will start fresh. When I pig out I try to cut back the next day wherever possible and the following day or so also to make up for it, or more exercise or both. Don't hate yourself! Unless the food was bad, it wasn't a complete disaster! :-D

    As Scarlett would say "tomorrow is another day!"

    Amen!

    My MIL (who lost over 200lbs and has kept it off for 20 years) lives each day by this motto.

    Thanks everyone. About a year ago, I lost 30 pounds then the same thing happened and I couldn't get back on the wagon. I gave up and last week decide to start over. I manage to keep 15 pounds off and the first week I lost 4 pounds then today happen!

    If you enjoyed yourself it's okay. Payback comes tomorrow because it's a new day. We all have bad choice days, let it happen and move on

    I JUST had a cheat day today that included A LOT of chinese food and peanut M&Ms....Im going to do a big workout tomorrow and eat super clean and drink lots of water!! DO NOT feel guilty....Ive read that people actually do better with their weight loss when they shock their bodies with a bad meal once a month or so. Dont worry about it....youre human and this is a lifestyle change that doesnt get thrown out over one day!!!

    ^^This!!^^ I do way better than I used to but it's not realistic (for me at least) to think I'm never going to over indulge again. When I do, I enjoy it and then get back to my regular routine. You wouldn't believe how many years it's taken me to come to that conclusion. I once let a couple of bad meals send me into a tailspin it literally took years to recover from and it was totally unnecessary. Drink some extra water and stay away from the scales for a few days and it'll be good:)
