One day at a time, tomorrow you get back on track, no big deal, as long as the progress is made

That was also me today 🙃 started great and ended up eating steak and crab and chocolate cake with my father in law. It’s just like that sometimes. 80/20 mindset. You have to enjoy your life too!

Sometimes you just have to enjoy the best things in life, like a delicious meal out with people you care about. No guilt needed. 1500isplenty is not about perfection, it’s about consistency. I hope it was a wonderful experience. ❤️

I’ve just quit smoking, so I let myself eat like garbage the past 3 days. Between the recent changes of quitting smoking, drinking, and watching my calories, the one I was willing to ease up on to deal with cravings was the diet.
Back on the horse tomorrow. No guilt needed. We’re human. Losing the weight isn’t a sprint, it’s a marathon (or whatever that saying is). Just shrug it off, revel in the enjoyment of having a nice cheat meal, and move right along like nothing happened.

* Sun = 2,000 * M = 1,550 * T = 1,500 * W = 1,500 * Th = 1,500 * F = 1,500 * Sat = 1,550
If you get back on track, your Weekly Average is still 1,585.

One meal won’t make a fat man.
Rome was not built in one day.
It takes time, effort, and consistency to get things done, not just an action done once.

You can’t change the past, so just move forward. 🤷🏼♀️

Hell yeah dude. Enjoy your nice dinner out.
Food is good and tasty! Feeling guilty over eating food is not our goal. You don’t “fail” any of this by having a nice meal with people you love, that’s just not how it works! Guilt over food is a common track to eating disorders. Ask me how I know.
Like others said, just maintain your TDEE most days. I take every Saturday off for D&D night, because I love meals with my friends.
