Eh... happens to the best of us. Congratulations, you're human. No need to beat yourself up over this misstep. Dust yourself off, tomorrow is a new day. It's all up from here!  

Eh is right, Christine - I just remembered MORE stuff I ate during my calorie frenzy. It's added now, my conscience is clear (even if my brain is fat-fuddled) and tomorrow is indeed a new day! Thanks for the note of support :-) 

No problem, woman.. we got this shiz! 😆 

Oh man....I SO get this. At one point I even created a custom food I named "empty emotional eating calories" just so I could plug something in and keep myself honest. BoredomAngerRebellion makes me eat like Godzilla storming a city. UGLY. You and Christine are both right....you GOT this. A good night's sleep and a plan for tomorrow will make a lot of difference. That's the one good thing about frenzies is that they're generally short-lived.  

First lesson in any weight loss plan is self love. Don't beat yourself up for fulfilling some kind of need inside yourself.. The junk you ate fulfilled some need that you had inside yourself. It's your journey so try a little introspection to determine what you were feeling at the time. Self condemnation will bring you to the lowest of the low. Every positive thought you can give to your self also sends a message to the cells of your body and will pay off in spades and bring you closer to achieving your weight loss goal and any other goals you may have in life.. 

We've all been there! this happens to even the most active and disciplined people, don't beat urself up about it, think of it as a deserved cheat day, and start with a clean slate the next day!  

THANKS you guys - all of you. What lovely, kind people you are! Unfortunately yesterday wasn't any better - I went offline when I thought I was ordering something healthy for lunch (a garden burger at Cactus Club - didn't know I was going there so I didn't check the menu ahead of time like I usually do) and found out after lunch that that stupid, tasteless, very expensive piece of CRAP was a fat-laden, salt-infused, carb-ridiculous 990 cals! Argh! So the rest of the day was a train wreck. TODAY, however, is INDEED another day - and I need to remember that two days of stupid eating doesn't undo 6 weeks as long as it stops NOW. You guys are right, beating myself up is counterproductive, and gentleness is the key to peace and health for both body and mind. I feel better both mentally and physically when I nourish my body, and today I choose to feel better. Thanks everyone :-)  

I love your spirit, and I can already feel you moving in the right direction. Bravo 👏😁 

I did the same thing yesterday..but today, what a beautiful new day!
