Don't think you are alone in this, you are NOT! I did nearly the exact same thing last night. I ate high calorie foods for lunch/snack (which left me with 300-400 calories to stay within range) and then ate pizza for a late dinner. I too ate half of a pizza (small veggie), which doubled my calorie intake for the day. I've only exercise once this week and don't feel like doing any today. I am discouraged, yet I'm not ready to throw in the towel.

I have the other half of the pizza lurking in the fridge and I plan to eat it, then consume lower calorie foods so that I stay within range. Some days are a tiny bit easier than others...today will be better than yesterday for both of us.

It happens. Just don't let it happen often. We all screw up. That doesn't mean we stop trying.

OK, you have two options. The first is to say I screwed up, so I might as well give up and keep eating like crap, stop working out, and try to gain 100 lbs. The second is to say, yea, I screwed up. I need to stop beating myself up, get back on the horse, eat right and train. I would choose option number two, but it is up to you!

I was so good yesterday. I work in a pizza shop, and manaed to only eat a salad and some baked skinless chicken. I made home made baked beans for dinner with a bi salad and avoided all soda.. untill my friend came over, and we decided to head over to my work to say hi.. and they gave me a free medium bacon pizza and some cherry pepsi... which my friend and I consumed entirely. I ate half a frikin pizza!! I doubled my calories for the day in 10 minutes and undid everythin :( Im so dissapointed in myself.
