I ate chinese food for lunch...

I say go for a walk or make your self do that work out. I always try to remember how crapy I felt the next time. Its ok to give into a craving once in a while so dont feel too bad, My give in is usually a margarita or 2 once or twice a month hehe:drinker:

Well if its any consolation I eat chinese food every day..
; D

all jokes aside you shouldn't feel so bad. One day isn't going to throw you off completely, and in fact, may be productive to weight loss..
If you don't do it consistently and eat right the rest of the days. (throwing off the body's equilibrium and what not.. kicking the metabolism.. Sounds like crap, I know. But google 'cheat days'.)

And hey. If you're going to make this a permanent life changing sorta deal, do you think you're going to swear off foods you enjoy for as long as you live?
Can't do that. Food is one of the joys of life.

Just get back on the boat. Maybe exercise right now, there's time. You shouldn't stop yourself from exercising because you're not happy with yourself.. Kind of counter productive.

So did I
I have no idea how to log it so I figure I'll have a light dinner get in a bit of exersize.
Once in moderation won't hurt your long term goals it just a small pothole on the road of life:laugh:

This was a bad lunch, not a bad day. Eat right for dinner and move on. Tomorrow will be here soon enough and you will already be on track , because you made the right choice for dinner. Keep up the good work and do not quit:flowerforyou:

Muie you crack me up!!!!!! And you are right.

Go for a walk....walk in place for 15 mins. DO NOT SINK INTO SELF LOATHING.....you need to just make it work out for you today.

:flowerforyou:

I read a good analogy for this in my Fitness magazine...

If you got a speeding ticket, you wouldn't just go and break all the traffic rules for the rest of the day, would you? No, you wouldn't. Same goes for making little mistakes with eating. It's no excuse to let yourself off the hook for the whole day! Get off your butt and go burn off those egg rolls!

I feel like I took a huge step backward in my goal to lose weight. I don't feel good about myself today. I don't even want to work out..this is the worst I've felt in months..So mad at myself!

Ive done the same with chinese food and carl jr..If I dont give in to my cravings every once in a while then I get *****y...Just do an extra 30 min workout and youll feel better. Every time I give in to my craving I make myself do an extra 30 min workout. I think for me personally ill do much better if I take it one day at a time but its been a learning process...I have to make myself work out tonight when I get home, ive gone over my calories for the day with cheese and crackers..LOL...Atleast you got chinese food..:laugh:

I had it for lunch today, too, and it wasn't that bad calorie-wise. I guess it depends on the meal, but 1 cup of sesame chicken and steamed rice isn't that bad. I mean, I couldn't do it every day, but a 500 cal. lunch when I'm working my butt off in the garden and the rest of my day wasn't bad, so I don't feel guilty at all - and neither should you. If you tell yourself you can't ever have whatever you had today, you'll only want it more. Just budget your calories accordingly for the rest of the day, and don't be afraid to eat chinese.
