    Letting yourself down is normal once in a while. Just make sure you lift yourself up, dust off, and get back at it! Stay on your plan. Weigh as per your normal schedule. It will motivate you!

    Try not to feel let down when you have a treat once in a while. It will not hurt you unless you're eating cake every day! Unless those two pieces of cake added up to 3500 calories, they should not have affected your weight. I'm assuming your family does not have birthday parties every week, so when they do, enjoy in moderation!

    Almost everyone is going to have a bad day at some point. Remember though it is only a single day out of a week, a month a year and a lifetime of a healthier and more positive lifestyle, Instead of focussing on the single bad day take a weekly view. Doing slightly more exercise and cutting down ever so slightly on your food for the remainder of the week will soon wipe out the extra calories from your bad day.

    Keep the faith and NEVER give up!

    Hey, this is real life! You are doing brilliantly 99.9% of the time. Weigh in as normal and carry on
    You have changed your lifestyle from eating 'badly' most of the time to eating 'well' most of the time - keep going and well done

    if you dont treat yourself every once in a while you end up binging worse. all my bodybuilder pals are in concurrence with this as I have asked them since I feel like I cheated also. they say that if you dont let yourself have a treat once in a while, it will end up eventually possibly leading to a worse binge. so now I dont call it cheating but I call it a treat. I work really hard daily to exercise and usually burn around 800 a day. i keep eating good foods mostly unprocessed. I dont do it every day, maybe once a week or twice. but today they are having all day skating at the roller rink and i am doing like six hrs of skating. so snickers, and cheesy bread are in my future! as long as I dont go so overboard to make myself sick i am fine. if you havent gone over your daily allotment more than once a wk you are gonna be fine. dont stress over it and it enjoy it once in a while!

    and your body doesnt always lose weekly. i can go two months and only lose two lbs and then my body will say hey so this is what we are doing and then i lose like three or four in one wk. just make sure to measure also. and take pics. pics work wonders

    Great advice in this thread. The only thing I would add is whether you are 'good' or 'bad' with you eating plan does NOT mean you are a good or bad person. They are two separate things. :)

    The important thing here is: HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Sixty is something to celebrate. One day of indulgent eating is not going to ruin you, I promise. Weigh in anyway--there is no point in hiding from it--but don't take the number to heart. You don't need to apologize for enjoying yourself on your birthday.
