I hope you go to your training session! It's all about balance. Time to pay for that yukky pizza and takeaway. Burn it off! You'll feel so much better, I'm sure. Have a great day! 

Thanks amy no training session missed it reschedualed for sunday but did do lots of cleaning and im going to the gym later so it should be good :)  

Have a great time at the gym :) 

Hey beautiful :) don't let that pound get you down... it does suck that the calorie intake wasn't even for a delicious pizza though... the best advice I can give is telling you what I do... to me, everything that's bad for me taste good in some way, I mean even crappy pizza taste better then no pizza at all sort of thing... so what I do, is before I take a bite of anything that I know is going to be bad for me I literally take a couple of minutes out of my time to consider if it's worth it to me... if I can think of something I would much rather be eating that is of the same calorie intake & equally bad for me then I skip what ever it was that I was about to eat... if it's something I've been craving and it's screaming my name, down on it's hands and knees just begging me to eat it... then I make a couple of different agreements with myself about it, one is I place it in my mind that this incredibly delicious pile of calorie intake it absolutely worth the weight to me, and two that I will be forced to keep my calorie intake much lower the next day and am expected to do a full work out with in one to two days of my damaging day... See I use to have this problem where if I was offered something to eat I would always eat it... now I will only eat something after said steps above... for example my biggest weakness is cookies, chocolate chip to be exact, so if someone offers me a bowl of ice cream I always turn it down, not because ice cream isn't awesome, but because chocolate chip cookies are better and I would rather the calorie intake be for the cookies then the ice cream... or sometimes if I'm offered a big dinner, I might turn it down because I might know that tomorrow I'm gonna want Starbucks... I mean this way of thinking might not make much sense to most people, but it works really well for me, because half the time I forget to go find the cookies after I've turned down the ice cream and inevitably I never intake any bad calories... it's through this way of thinking that I actually quit soda completely, I never ever ever drink soda, not because I don't love it, but because I'd much rather have a beer later, lol... mmm beer, always worth the calories to me, hehe. Funny story, right before I started calorie counting I actually had just bought a pizza to keep in the freezer... I mean I planned on eating it, but then I started calorie counting, and every time I think about eating it, I start thinking, but on the weekend I'm gonna end up eating out with Justin, and so I always turn it down, knowing I'm gonna take those calories in some other way... and so this poor lonely pizza has just been sitting in the freezer for months now... I actually kind of feel bad for it, but I know there will be a day when I'm just going to NEED that pizza, when it's going to be screaming at me... and that's the day I know I'll feel ok about taking in those calories... that I'll feel like it was worth it... Wow, lol, well that was a rather large responce, I hope this information is in some way comforting to you though. You are so beautiful and we are so proud of you even if you eat gross pizza :) I can't wait to read about your training session, I'm positive you're gonna rock it out :) 

hey thank you for the loong response :P your advice is great im definitely going to think about that next time i want a treat :) I'm currently trying to motivate myself to go the gym dont feel like it feel rubbish but hopefully something will kick in soon :P 

lol... there have been very few times in my life that I've ever really FELT like going to the gym, hehe... infact I'm basically pretty positive I would not be as motivated as I am if I didn't have Justin in my life... I mean I've tried to do this exercise and dieting stuff like a hundred times in the past and I've never been able to make it last more then a month or so... and I've definitely never been able to keep an eye on my calories like this... but I want to be pretty for Justin, I want to someone he's be proud to walk next to, someone that's not double his size... so every time I feel like shit and don't want to go to the gym I just remember what my motivation is and it always keeps me moving forward... but I just don't know how I would have ever gotten this far if it wasn't for him... I guess my point to that sappy little story is I that can totally relate to your feelings of rubbish... and I hope you find your motivation too that makes to want to go to the gym even when you're not in the mood for it :)
