My mom came over and brought me my favorite food. Birria Tacosā¦.. I couldnāt say nooooo!!! Itās only been one month and Iāve been doing so well!š the worst part is I just know Iām gonna be so hungry again later because there just not fulling enough! I guess today turned from weights day to stair master day.
Does aiming for 1200 cals sound good to make up for 3 greasy/cheesy tacos! Iām just trying to maintain rather lose today?? I weighed 148lbs, am 5ā 5āā.

It was one day, and like you’ve said, you’ve been doing well. Start doing well again tomorrow and enjoy the tacos and time with your mom today.
lol yes but even one day of eating over won’t throw you off unless you let it!
Hey, I lost 10 pounds in two months and was able to fit high-calorie foods like birria tacos, alfredo, and risotto into my diet. It’s all about moderation! Don’t beat yourself up over one day of “splurging”.
Shit happens. Enjoy one, but don’t use it as an excuse to gorge. Tomorrow is a new day. Aim for 1200 tomorrow.
Weight loss is all about averages. Just like how 1 day of starving amongst a week of binges doesnāt make a difference, itās the same for the opposite of that scenario. You werenāt ābadā for eating extra today and you donāt need to punish yourself by changing up your routine to try burn off the calories or chastise yourself for it. End the day on a higher note by making sure what you eat next is nutritious and filling then get back on the 1.2K horse tomorrow.
next time only eat 1
1 lbs of fat is 3500 calories. You probably at 1500 calories at most.Ā
You’ll be fine, the water weight and glycogen will wash out over the next few days which is where most if not all of it went to.Ā
No shame in enjoying comfort food once in a blue moon.Ā
I know what you mean, but maybe just have one or two? Birria is so flavorful I feel like one would scratch the itch
Honestly sometimes if I eat something like that on occasion, I just do one meal that day.
Hey, youāre still doing so well!!!
Eating over your deficit for a day is okay, I usually do averages per week since its easier for me especially since some days im barely hungry and then theres days where I feel like a vacuum cleaner, if you really are worried about it, try not to go over your maintenance calories for the day then continue your deficit the next day.
Thats one of the reasons why people unfortunately give up with loosing weight, because they feel too restricted. Wouldnt you want to do this for a day where you control the amount you eat compared to just binging a week from now cus you couldn’t get it out of your mind?
