Feeling guilty about eating a chocolate...

...I know it's daft, but my colleague just came back from Rio and bought chocolates and kept insisting i have one so much that I eventually broke. It was about the size of a Cadburys Roses, so found it (50 cals) and put it in my tracker.
The thing is, i've got 2 weddings this weekend, and i'm already worrying about sticking within my calories/clean eating regime. The first wedding is only an evening meal, and it's a buffet, so i can be sensible, but the wedding on the Saturday is a whole day, with a sit down meal etc.
Am I being a drama queen, and should I just chill out? I'm going for a run tonight.... It's just i lost 1.5lbs last week afer plateauing for about 3 months, and i'm scared of putting it back on haha!

    It's 50 Cals! And 1 small chocolate! It won't even affect your weight losses don't worry! You shouldn't feel bad for treating yourself.
    Did you enjoy it?

    A healthy lifestyle is having a balance of healthy foods and some treats, just for you. xx

    I don't think a single mouthful of anything is going to do too much damage. It's when you reach for the next one, and the next, and the next...

    Make sure it's Dark Chocolate, and it may be beneficial to your weight loss....

    Too true - I work in the NGO sector, and only eat Fair Trade!
