    Because you havent had a cheat day in????
    Eat up today but be smart about it.
    If today is the cheat day then have the food you normally wouldnt but hit that cardio trail hard tomorrow.
    Cheat days are essential to weight loss and you should have 1 a week!

    I normally have cheat day as Saturday! I am at the gym tomorrow though so will just have to work at those marshmallows.

    Honestly. My willpower is rubbish!! x

    It is much more important not to talk/think negatively about yourself. So, you ate something you shouldn't have. Figure out the calories and add in enough extra cardio over the next couple of days to compensate.
    No one is perfect. And no one would like you if you were.

    take a breather, learn from it, give yourself a little slack for being human....

    then....do 30-45min of cardio and add that into your calories for the day.

    this is not a issue :)

    I've had days ruined by someone at work bringing in donuts.

    Just make damn sure tomorrow isn't another fail.

    TraceyDonna. Why don't you go for a run around the block/few sit ups/lunges/press ups and allow yourself to get over you little misdemeanour. Sure, you'll have to do a bit more cardio tomorrow to get all of them off, but mentally you'll feel better if you do something RIGHT NOW! :-D

    That's it, close the laptop, go to your room, get your kit on and GET OUT! Or if you're at work, sneak in some pressups in a quiet room. lol.

    A bad day isn't the end of the world...if it was then not a single one of us will be here! If you feel guilty, get some exercise in, if not make it the "cheat" day today and skip your usual "cheat" day. You'll be alright!

    Relax.

    And I actually wouldn't recommend going above and beyond your normal exercise or start overcompensating with your food intake to try and fix this. Just let it go. You will need to learn how to do this regardless, in my opinion.

    What a great attitude, I think the guilt we all go into has a huge amount to do with why we give in, or overdo the 'fix' and then give in. Enjoy the day, tomorrow is just another day to be getting on with this journey to fit healthy and happy :o)

    Good luck
