Default UGH! i over ate today

im trying not to beat myself up over it as i had been doing great this whole week and even ate under a few days and worked out sunday-thursday and only skipped last night. about to go tonight too

i haven't even had dinner yet and i only have 155 of my 1600 calories left for the day

ugh well after i work out it should all even out as my dinner will only be like 300 calories

right? ugh

and its okay to have a bad day right?? i didnt completely over do it but i still feel guilty.

Yes, it is okay to occasionally slip..we have all done it and still do it (or I do anyway ). The best thing to do is acknowledge it, forgive yourself and hop right back on track. One day of a little mess up (or even a big one) will not screw up your hard work

You're welcome. I, along with most everyone here, can definitely understand. Just don't let one day keep you down. You can do this

Youre doing great! I wouldnt feel too guilty but I completely understand. You'll be fine especially since you're working out alot! Alot of people eat more calories a couple times a week just so they dont start going into a plateau so I wouldnt worry about it at all, it might even help you out. Tomorrow is a new day! =)

Yeah, and that's not so bad in the grand scheme of things. When I overeat, I overeat to the tune of like 2500 calories

thanks you guys for all of your supportive words
yeah i over all made good decisions for my food today so its not like i ate half a container of ice cream or that pile of french fries that were tempting me at lunch

i was overreacting a little as this was the first time since i started this different lifestyle that i slipped.

I have over and under days. It isn't one day's total that matters, it's what you are eating over the course of time. What I do is once a week add up all my calories, then divide by 7 to get a real idea of what I am doing. Having one day where I am over 2000 doesn't seem so bad when I see that my weekly average is around 1600.

You're doing great! Congrats on all the workouts.

I count calories but allow myself one "off" meal per week where I don't count.
