    sweetie I cave too. We all do it once in a while. Just finish the day. Enter everything and accept that tomorrow is a new day. Tomorrow is a better day where you can start a new.

    it never fails...someone posts about over eating and everyone says the same thing..."don't beat yourself up" etc etc etc.

    blah blah blah

    instead...take good notice of how you are reacting to your indulgence...take notes...use this moment of weakness to prevent it from happening again....

    use it, beat yourself up a bit so you remember it and then move on

    dont buy into all this ...its part of life nonsense....your new life can begin as soon as you start taking responsibility for your actions

    good luck

    :huh: Not sure if "srs."

    You won't gain weight or ruin your work over the last month by eating 200 over... or 500.... or 1000, now to mention it! Every day is a new day after all :)

    It's ok to "cave" and have a treat. If you deny yourself of everything, you may fall off the wagon and go on a bender. Trust me, been there, done that. Don't be so hard on yourself. Cheat once in a while, and try also once in a while to ignore it for 10 minutes, then 20, and so on. But its not the end of the world. I am eating a chocolate bar while I speak!:happy:

    you've got 2 choices............

    1) Go workout some and work it off.
    2) Don't stress going over....1 day won't hurt you.

    200 cal snack is nothing!!!! Don't worry about it. You can easily burn it off with a long walk.

    400 cal for dinner is not that bad. Grill some fish with a side homemade caesar salad (light dressing of course).

    Just remember it is myfitnessPAL and not myfitnessNAZI. Give yourself a break. There is nothing wrong with being over one day. You are doing great.

    No look of shame here.....enough energy to be bouncing off the walls and annoy my co-workers. I think they would tackle me and take away the other one if I tried to pull it out. (I brought two....shhhhhhh)

    Don't feel badly or worry too much.

    I recently had some hormone issues and ate tons of junk over the period of a week. And I mean chocolate bars, candy, etc. I went crazy! It cost me only one pound, yet, I thought I would gain five. I seriously beat myself up badly with guilt for nothing.

    We are only human. And treats are delicious! lol It happens to the best of us hun. :)

    Gotta have little rewards...the reason you write it all down and log it is to remind you to NOT have the rewards every day. Besides as other people said 200 calories is a great reward. When I fall off the wagon its more to the tune of 1200 calories.

    Your doing fine look at the full body of work not just today.

    Remember you still have the 500 calorie deficit as a buffer as well! You could not log your 200 calorie snack and use up all the rest of your calories and still be 300 in deficit for the day. Or go for a walk and the 200 will be gone in no time.

    Without being able to see your food diary , its hard to give an informed opinion!

    what are your calories for the day?

    are you going to exercise? i burn a ton at the gym..or like someone mentioned a nice walk.

    it doesnt have to be considered a cave, AND you do NOT have to beat yourself up, just work it into your day.

    Ahh, don't feel bad we all have those days. Take a walk or turn on the stereo and dance around the house awhile! You really can work off that little treat! Just get right back into your program and don't use one treat to give yourself a reason to have more treats...
