    So my mom was kind enough to buy me a banana muffin this morning, which I didn't think was unhealthy (so much).
    Turns out... it had... 430 CALORIES
    What do I do?!
    I only eat 1300 calories a day and now i've already passed that amount!!

    This is what you call Overgeneralizing!!!! It's called a form of Unhealthy thinking habits that we all have, but it can be corrected. Remember that this is a lifestyle change not a diet. Diet's dont work. If you ate the muffin, then you walk it off or be active to gain more calories to help you through out the day. Also eat a lighter dinner like a salad with your own toppings. You can do this. It's not the end of the world. Stay positive and find out about cognitive distortions.....

    Honey, the road ahead is littered with uneaten muffins! Take it from me, who has thirty years of experience being nineteen, knowledge is power. Know what it's going to cost you before you eat it. That way, you can go forth without compunction! Live to die(t) another day!

    I just when throught the exact same thing. Except it wasn't my mom. Or your mom. Or a muffin. Or even breakfast. It was lunch. And it ended up being about 1000 calories more than I thought it was.

    But because I've been on MFP for awhile and paid attention to some of the smart people hear, I realized that it wasn't the end of the world. My immediate reaction? How am I gonna fit in enough exercise to burn that off tonight? Truth is, I'm not going to "earn back" enough calories. But I'll put a dent in the overage. I'll be over my calorie goal at the end of today. And I'll wake up tomorrow and not go out to lunch with my co-workers. And I'll stay under tomorrow.

    Since the OP has only one post and hasn't returned to this thread, I'm starting to wonder if the muffin actually killed him.

    This is just a muffin. Muffins are the cradle of civilization, not the end of the world. Celebrate this muffin.

    Yes, muffins and satellite television....

    This is no problem, for the rest of the week only eat the smaller low calorie billy goats that trot over your bridge, Simples

    Only 1300 a day? Eeeeek! That's not very much! I'd advise you to look up your BMR, hon.

    ps: Eating one muffin is NOT the end of the world. Life is short and muffins are delicious. If your weight loss methods aren't sustainable, then they aren't going to work in the long term anyway. You have to learn that muffins happen sometimes. It's unlikely that you're just going to cut them out for the rest of your life!

    Take a deep breathe and think about how delicious the muffin was. The past is the past. Muffins happen and that's okay. Just because you nom'd a 430 cal muffin, doesn't mean you are a failure. Muffin's can't measure your worth. :)

    exercise!! :) Go for a walk. Get your body moving for 30 minutes or so!! Don't let one muffin defeat you. I had a cupcake today. :) AND IT WAS GOOD!! Hang in there and keep working at it.


    RIGHT!!!! Last night I had a 10 oz Sirloin and it was 570 calories...way more than I thought! Definitely NOT CHICKEN !!! And I had some tater tots to boot.....The good news is....I still was under my calories for the day but I thought to myself..."Even if I did go over....tomorrow is a new day...and I get to try all over again!" So you see...as long as we have tomorrow we have HOPE. We get a do over and the important thing is to be good to yourself. Don't beat yourself up....Life is too short!~ One Day At A Time ...we do this~

    As everyone else is saying here, its not a big deal. If you feel like you want to, exericise a bit more or cut back a little on the food today/this week. But inmy opinion, the only thing you need to do is to enjoy it. Your 1300 limit will have AT LEAST a 500 calorie deficit built in - its still less than your maintenance calories.

    Yes. I would venture to guess that there is an average of just over one per user. Some might have colostomies, pushing the average just over the one mark.

    Oh holy hell....I almost died laughing right there!! :laugh:

    I hope you and your mom sat down to a nice conversation, and some coffee together. That would be worth the extra calories to me.

    Great words of Wisdom. Love the Mayan comment, LOL!
    It's over? So the Mayans were off by about 9 months? :cry:

    To quote a song, "Mama said there'd be days like this, there'd be days like this, my mama said." Put it behind you and start fresh tomorrow. If there is a tomorrow. If there isn't a tomorrow, at least you died happy with a tasty muffin.

    Step one: move on.

    Step two: get in an extra workout.
  • Posts: 484 Member
    Move on...it's only 1 muffin, 1 day. Remember this is the rest of your life! It's not going to make you gain weight!

    ^^ that.

    Everyday is a new day, you can eat lighter the rest of the week to make up for the calories you went over today.

    Throw yourself on the floor kicking and screaming.

    Or, just shrug it off, be sensible the rest of the day, and realize that tomorrow (or any other day pretty much) you shouldn't eat the muffin unless you bake it yourself, it's of reasonable size, and you can control the caloric value.
