I was bad today :-(

I'd say, somebody spank me, but who the hell is going to spank a middle-aged
fat man? (I can't seem to find anybody, anyway.)

Well, I couldn't have done that much damage. Back to the grindstone.
Screwing up one day isn't so bad. Making it into a stupid excuse to go back
to the way I used to eat -- THAT would be a real screw-up.

All I really wanted to do today was to pull the covers over my head and
sleep all day. Had I done so... well. Its like that poem about ducks. "If"

Well, I guess I was too, then. But the thing is, I just plan on it
every now and then on special occasions, which means I don't have to
tell myself I was "bad" or feel bad the next day or anything. It's
just part of the plan -- so of course the next day is back to my usual
way of eating and exercise. Whatever your strategy is about the
occasional day of excess, the whole key is to get right back to
normal.

Let me note that I lost 130 lbs. while having frequent splurges
throughout :-).

If you find somebody, let me know. LOL ::did I just say that?::

We all have days where we didn't do well on the eating and exercise plan.
The best thing to do is just get back on plan ASAP.

Many of us plan for these times. I attended a family picnic yesterday and
knew I would be eating food I don't normally include in my daily diet.
Things such as my friend's delicious potato salad and my daughter's gooey
peanut butter bars I also started the day with a 50K bike ride over hilly
terrain.

Don't let one off day get you down.

I haven't lost 130 lbs, but I definitely enjoy my splurges. Balanced with a
good amount of exercise and healthy eating most of the time, and splurges
are nothing to freak about. In fact, I see some dedicated people here who
post they haven't gone off their diets in like 467 days, and I just don't
think I could do that! Of course, my weight loss has been very slow, but
I'm also enjoying myself quite a bit. I rarely feel deprived.

Bing. Indeed, expect occasional failures, but return to proper eating the
very next day. Hopefully, the failures are infrequent.
