Yesterday I had the worst day I have had since starting the plan , I still counted all my calories and so know I went 300 calories over but made all the worst food choices sweeties, chocolate , fish and chips(I did take off the batter!).
The strange thing is that normally in the past I would feel down and think I`ve ruined my week but after years of up and down dieting the penny has dropped and I realize that one naughty day in the grand scheme of things doesn`t really matter! I am consciously making better long term choices most days. I am normally all or nothing and tend to give up but I woke up feeling positive again ,went for a swim and had salmon salad for lunch, I almost needed a day to refocus myself.
I hope by weigh day I can still lose a pound if I stay healthy next few days !
I was wrapping a few of the children`s secret presents yesterday so think I went into Xmas mode !!

Good to you for taking the positive approach. It's easy to slip, but we just have to get back on the horse and start again. Good luck for weigh day!
Well done you, sometime a little of what you fancy does you good. I had a day like that a week ago, at the time I described it as a manic eating episode and it really was just that but having got that gluttonous feeling out of the way I got right back on track.
If you're going to sustain long term these things will happen. Being able to see past it and re-focus is the best way forward.
Hope you enjoyed your little treats and didn't beat yourself up for going a bit overboard.
If a little bit of what you fancy now and again keeps you on track long term then you are on the right track.
I think that's one of the most important lessons that I've learnt, and sounds like you have too ! If we are making better choices all the time, then one day isn't going to cause us a problem - the problem only arises when we don't get back to making those better choices again the next day
Last week in one day I ate two 11" pizzas which the children didn't want, and that was on top of my normal meals.
A week later ....................... no damage done at all.
Thank you for replies and support everyone it`s nice to know others have the same days from time to time . its pulling it promptly back the next day that seems to be the secret of success! It`s a learning curve and as I have a lot to lose making the goals small and manageable seem to help a great deal too.
Hope every one else is having a great week!!
Tewson two extra pizzas gives me hope that weigh day may be saved!!!
Thank you so much Pp that is so ,so kind of you ,made me feel emotional I honestly find all the wonderful people so supportive and it makes this journey much more fun!
I've just read your post, as I posted my own, I thought it was my own lol but it wasn't. It's now Easter and I've done a post and realised its so similar to what has happened to me on Easter Tuesday.
