I had an off plan weekend+ so I totally get you. I feel a bit guilty, but tomorrow is a new day, and I am back on. I hope the gain isn't too much.

That's the attitude to have! I live by that daily. I brush my shoulders off and start fresh...there's no use beating yourself up about something! :)

Ugghhh...you ladies should have seen me for the past 3 days (this weekend)...pizza friday and & saturday...and then had dinner at a friends house on Sunday which included dessert!:p I was eating cashews and snacking like a ragine loonatic!:crazy: I got a terrible case of the "hungries" as PMS is sure to be here...with TOM lurking right around the corner.

The good news...I enjoyed myself...didn't beat myself up for being plain HUNGRY...ate and enjoyed every single morsel to my hearts content and got right back on the wagon on Monday.:D I was 3lbs up on Monday...and then lost the entire 3 lbs as of this morning.:D

Let that serve as PROOF that you cannot...I REPEAT...YOU CANNOT GAIN 3 lbs of FAT eating 7,500 cals in 3 days!:) Moral of this story....enjoy your little "CHEATS"...don't stress out or beat yourself up over it (stress raises cortisol and cortisol makes you store fat...or so the commercial says..:lol:)...just GET BACK ON THE HORSE when you done endulging (whether that be a day, two days or even 3 days)...:hug:

...steps off soapbox.:D

LOVE IT!!! I love that you are so positive, Joyful! :) There's no use being stressed out over it because it just makes it worse! My birthday (and my little sister's birthday) is next month (born on the same day, but 4 years apart) and our dad always likes to take us out to a big meal...so I'm planning on that being my next "fun" weekend. ;)
