does anyone else get crazy over this?

so, i've been having a really, really good week. eating under 1400 calories and working out every day. i was feeling really good...thin, you know? 

yesterday i had kind of a crappy day at work and i was tired, so i decided to skip the gym. i'd done pilates in the morning and i took an hour-long walk on my lunch break...so no big deal, right?

wrong.

i woke up this morning feeling terrible. feeling fat. feeling like i'd erased everything i've done all week, just because i took a day off. does anyone else get this? is this crazy? please help.

I've a feeling your exercising a lot and not eating enough.

Check your maintenance weight add in your exercise  and subtract 500-1000 calories... this is what you should be eating.

forgive my ignorance, but what is maintenance weight?

my thing is, i'm a vegetarian and i'm allergic to milk. so i'm quite literally eating almost constantly throughout the day, but let's face it, plums don't have a whole lot of calories.

i got fat from drinking too much :(

Ugh, I know what you mean. I normally am really active, but yesterday ttom started so I felt like shit. Today I feel so fat!

I don't know if it's normal, but you're definitely not alone!

but you didn't take a day off. you actually did a lot more then some people consider daily exercise. but i know how you feel. i have those days as well.

I'm with vmcbutterly - pilates and walking is an ON day for me in terms of exercise, and I'm still losing weight.

I understand what you mean, though.  Sometimes I get totally discouraged out of nowhere.  Damn these unpredictable brains of ours!  It's just part of being human. 

I get the same way. I feel like crap the next day if I don't go to the gym or workout. I'm just crazy when it comes to working out though, I think I'm a little obsessive when it comes to working out. But you did alot more than alot of people do. So I wouldn't feel so bad about it.

Ugh, I hate that feeling. I always try to walk to and from work (3.2 miles total) and hit the gym every other day. But sometimes when I miss it, I just feel uggy... Or I hate when you're supposed to do a certain thing (mine was a dance class with a friend) and your company/ride backs out... so you're stuck at home at 10:30 feeling miserable and fat. :'(

yesterday is gone, you can't change it (besides you probably needed a break, weather you like it or not). Tomorrow is another day. put on your best smile and go to it! just as if yesterday didn't happen.

Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.

You have the present - the past is gone forever - the future is what you  make of it.

Learn from it and go forward. : )
