Unhappy bad day

im feeling very disapointed in myself for having no will power, i have consumed 1826 calories and im only suppose to have 1400 calories, i think the problem started when my dad brought 2 big boxes of doughnuts in the house from out of the car, i think after you eat one you think oh never mind i will try harder for the rest of the day but when you eat 4 you know you have a problem.. i hope tomorrow i wake up and have developed more will power from some where because i feel like im slipping and i dont want to be the weight i am forever.

Keep your head up and don't be too hard on yourself. We all have bad days, but it's the long haul that counts. Good luck

1800 calories ain't such a bad day. If the rest of your days are around the 1400 mark it'll make no difference. If you'd gone to the chippie for tea following that, you would have had 1100 in one meal , for example.

Don't sweat the small stuff, or be down on yourself, it'll only lead you to eat more. Ask me how I know

Yep, 1800 calories is no biggie - and even if it were 18,000 calories(!!) it's still only one day. Forget about it and just concentrate on making today a better day, and the start of a string of good days.

Its better to strive for consistency than perfection , so don't be so hard on yourself .

Hi Claire , you've got some good advice here. Dont let this be an excuse to blow it - I've done that in the past. You'll kick yourself if you do.

Love your avatar, its a chinchilla I think? Is it yours? I love the way they do that rolling thing to clean themselves!

Have you got an upper cal limit as well as a lower one? If you set an upper one (say 1800 or 2000) you can have some space for when people bring doughnuts into your life, without feeling diet guilt.

1400 calories seems low for someone at 228 pounds to me.
