Great back-to-reality read! Thank you! :flowerforyou:
I *do* have to point out, though ... 2000 calories is a generic number. Let's say you're a 213 pound girl, 5-feet-5-inches, 27 years old and you have a moderate activity level (me!). To maintain your weight, you'd have to eat 2700 calories per day! To gain an entire pound in one day, you'd have to eat 6200 calories!!!!:noway: I think you'd likely pop before then. :laugh:0 -
Thanks for this post!! :bigsmile:
I always try to remind myself, after a particularly bad binge, that one GOOD day doesn't equal weight loss and therefore one BAD day isn't going to necessarily equal weight gain. You said it better than I could!0 -

I was just thinking about this the other day. Basically since high school graduation, 16 years ago, I weigh 14 pounds more than I did at that time. I thought about it, and really, that is not that bad!!!!!! I only ate an average of 3,500 calories a YEAR over what I needed to be where I am at today. I am not a Failure afterall! How about that!
Wow that really puts it into perspective!
You're much better than meI put on (roughly) 33lbs in 42 months, meaning I've been eating an extra 3,500 calories almost every month!

Can you imagine never eating a over-indulgent meal again for the rest of your life? Impossible.0 -

But. But. But.
Well, I got to say but anyway. A meal won't kill you. Enjoy a birthday party, enjoy a celebration, enjoy something you love at least sometimes, or none of this is really worth it. If it makes you miserable, you aren't doing it right.0
