What do you do when you have a bad day?

I tend to either give it all i've got during my exercise session that day (to let the anger out-yes anger- or just forget all about it, tomorrows a new day after all

I just keep on doing what I'm doing. I haven't had a plateau yet, but I am losing slowly (probably because I don't have much to lose). If I have a bad day, I just pick up again the next day. The important thing is to never give up! As long as your reaching your goals most days, then you will see results! But if you quit, you'll probably gain and wish you would have never quit.

So my biggest suggestion, is just to NEVER QUIT! Lol.

Burn extra calories by crying about it

Try harder the next day. Even failures are successes if you use them to better yourself

I pull out a pair of "too big" jeans/shorts from before my weight loss and put them on. The reminder of how much weight I've lost and far I've come rejuvenates my state of mind and says to me that "it took a long time to make these fall off, they won't be too tight just because I've had one bad day"....keep at it...and I go forward.

What do you do when you have a bad day? You ate too many calories? Or didn't loose any weight in your weigh in. I am just curious, so when I am in that situation I have some ideas.

Chalk it up as just a day. You can have a bad day, a bad week and even a bad month, but if you're consistent, you'll never have a bad year.

Very true.

One day is not going to hinder your goals or losing, I won't lie there are days here and there every month where I decide to have what I call a "Fat Day" now I am not ingesting 5000 calories but I will have something greasy like a local pizza place or sometimes fast food, its ok to treat yourself to that as long as its not a consistent thing. We are all human and honestly you can enjoy one day of bad food and be fine.

I just keep going. & I try to not dwell on it too much, & if I do then I just exercise harder the next day or make sure I'm under my calorie goal the next day. I've had many days like that & it hasn't stopped me from losing weight. I think sometimes you need a day to not worry about calories & just eat whatever. Obviously, I don't go crazy. but I just keep doing my best everyday. that's all you can do

I do some sort of exercise that I enjoy. It only takes a few minutes, and it improves my mood, makes me feel better physically, and then however many calories I've gone over doesn't look so bad.
If I can't exercise, I just do better the next day.
Since I've decided I would rather focus on just taking good care of myself rather than losing weight, there have been many, many weigh-ins that I have either lost like 0.2 lbs or nothing at all. But keeping on doing what I am doing, just because it makes me feel good to do it, has resulted in those tiny little increments adding up to being down 2-3 jeans sizes over the last 10 months.
