Today is my birthday and I'm going to end up being way over...waaaayyyyy over. I've been at a platue for weeks and I'm hoping that maybe I'll get lucky and when I get back on track tomorrow I'll break through it. :) Hey a girl can dream right? Do you guys ever go over a lot for something like this?

    Everyone has days when they go over. Tomorrow is another day and another day to make the better choices. Just make sure you don't have too many days that you'd rather forget.


    Just go out and enjoy your birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY

    It's fine to have a cheat day every once in a while :)

    Happy Birthday:flowerforyou:

    Everyone and I mean everyone has a day now and then that they just let go and enjoy. This is your day - celebrate, then get back on track the day after!

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

    If they go over for a day, is it possible that they might actually break the plateau? Isn't that what calorie cycling is about?

    Happy Birthday and I do it all the time! Every time I go out to dinner or get drinks with my friends. Tomorrows a new day and you can refocus then. Just relax and enjoy.

    A cheat day is FINE! In fact, for some people it can get weight loss going again, if one is sticking to their diet the rest of the week, because it gives one a metabolic boost.
    With the holiday and all, I'm willing to bet that a LOT of people will be taking a cheat day or 2 LOL! Sometimes one has to have a day where one simply enjoys the company and the food. It all works out and there's always tomorrow or the day after to hop back on:)

    Don't feel bad for it. My birthday was the 30th and I went way over with the margaritas and mexican food. Just pick back up tomorrow and you'll be fine!

    Happy birthday, btw.

    Happy Birthday! IMHO, if you plan it, log it, and are happy with the decision, then enjoy it! It's all about you living your life! Cheers.

    It's your birthday! Celebrate!

    Don't feel bad about going way over your target once in a while. Everyone does it. A lot of people even have Sunday as their designated 'cheat day' :D
    Just make sure to get back on track afterwards, making smart, healthy choices.

    hi folks fatman here again.

    I suggest eating a ton of food, go completely overboard and enjoy it. Then the day after eat hardly anything. This is the price one pays. The next day weigh yourself. There should hardly be a difference.

    No... Don't starve yourself. If you go way over one day, try to balance that out over a whole week. So for instance, if you ate 600 calories over one day, try to eat 100 calories under for the rest of the week.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
    mine was yesterday. I ate lightly until dinner and then enjoyed grilled pork loin, potato salad, bake beans, cheese rolls, broccoli salad and homemade citrus cheesecake. I ate small portions and enjoyed the cheesecake, I understand where you are coming from......I haven't eaten any refined sugar for a month. The leftover cheesecake is still in the fridge, and so far today it hasn't called my name. I know life and occasions will happen. If I am careful most of the time, I can enjoy a celebration occasionally. I logged everything......I was over by less than 300 calories.:wink:
