So Guilty, I feel Sick

My coworker brought me a Christmas present which was a chocolate/almond candy bar. I did not even try to resist sitting here at my desk eating the whole entire thing. I then looked at the wrapper and realized it was 630 calories. THAT's RIDICULOUS! It should be illegal to even sell this type of candy bar! I feel really awful. I'm going to workout on the eliptical machine this evening as long as it takes to burn at least 530 calories, but we're also having a Christmas luncheon. I'm going to watch my portions at the luncheon, but I feel incredibly guilty about that candy bar. I just broke out of the 190's this week. I'm right at 189. Now I feel like after today I'll be in the 190s again. Can someone make me feel better?

Tell me you're kidding before I go off and give my opinion...

 

 

And you didn't gain all the weight by eating one candy bar right? Why freak out for eating just one? You don't lose weight by cutting out 1 candy bar, you don't gain it either. And what's done is done, do good the rest of the day and move on. Dwelling about it is only going to hurt your attitude and moral. And the extra stress you're giving yourself will do more to gain weight then the 630 calories.

It'll be okay! Try not to beat yourself up. This is why I call eating right and exercising a "lifestyle change" rather than a diet. Situations like these will pop up when you least expect them. Just enjoy them and get right back on track tomorrow. (((HUGS)))

its ok!!!! you'll be fine! one time i ate 500 calories worth of chex mix AS A SNACK. you'll be fine. if you really can go that long on the elliptical, good for you! be VERY VERY careful at the luncheon. eat VERY slowly, that way if you go back for seconds, maybe most of the food will be gone, and whats left will be cold, and you wont even want it! also try cutting 50 cals or so off every meal for the rest of the day. i know its easier said than done, because if i was in your situation id feel awful too, but you'll be ok!!!!

archer -- chill. shes not dwelling, shes venting. shes obviously feeling bad already, did you really need to be so cold and make her feel worse?

Ummm, how about you chill. Just because I didn't talk to them like I do my 3 year old like you did doesn't mean I was being cold. What is wrong with what I said here?

That is going to make her feel worse? It was cold? I need to chill? Please... and I asked for clarification before going off on her ridiculous assertion that we should ban high calorie candy bars.

Aww, don't worry about it. Even if you didn't burn any of it off, you'd only gain one seventh of a pound! (Er, I think. I have no confidence in my math skills.)
Anyway, it's not like you do it every day. Try not to regret it too much-- you got a nice presant, and you enjoyed it. Just don't do it again too often, and you'll be just fine. 

Dont worry about archer..hes always like that. uhm..mean like that.

other then to bait me and be childish what did you just add to the conversation? How did you help the OP? What do you ever add to a conversation or topic? Chelseagirl will probably be here too to pile on and that's fine, it's typical, sad and predictable.

None of your baiting and thread jacking changes the fact that I did give good solid advice about dealing with what she did and how she can deal with it. Let's wait to see if she even has a problem with my post shall we???

 

 

Yep im so childish :) thank you. and yep im sooo sad and soo predicatble..

you know whats sad and predictable...that you always have to give some type of mean opinion on peoples posts...CC is a place for support.. S-U-P-P-O-R-T. so if you have nothing nice to say then dont say anything at all.

as for the OP...It takes 3500 calories to gain weight darling. Eating more calories then you burn will lead to weight gain so dont worry about the candy bar. Just eat healthy throughout the day :)

I'm glad we agree on something. And you can give support the way you want and support people's ED or tell them whatever you want and call it support. But everything I said was help, and I could care less if some self absorbed know it all wanna be model teenager agrees with it how I say it or not. Plenty of people appreciate some frank answers and opinions and there is a place for that. Sorry if I don't support people detoxing or starvation diets and so on but it's unhealthy. What I said if you read it at all wasn't mean in any way shape or form.

There is what I said, so you know...

 

EDIT: And now I am being slightly mean, because I don't appreciate the baiting and BS because you dont' agree with what I say. I heard some good advice recently, "so if you have nothing nice to say then dont say anything at all". Your post to me wasn't needed and has derailed this thread.

PLAY NICE, PEEPS.

 

=^..^= MOLLY 

Im not a wannabe model and i dont support ED's so please stop pretending like you know me.

Im actually trying to gain weight to go into the Airforce so your assumption was completely wrong. I admit that you gave partially good advice but the other half was mean and not neccesary.

And if you dont care what i say than stop going at it at me.

you came in this thread just to start crap with me, not the other way around. And read what Molly said and stop derailing this OP's thread now.

hey tdionne!

Don't worry about the candy bar (easier said than done). Just forget it, move on. How many calories do you let yourself have each day? If it's 1500, then just eat 1500-630 = 870 and be squared away. No biggie. I've done it, we've all done it!

Next time - just have a looksy @ the nutritionals first! :P

[Edit - had a spelling error ;) ]

youheartme was right earlier. I really was just venting. The main point of my post was to voice guilt over wasting calories on a huge candy bar and all I wanted was affirmation that I wasn't as guilty as I felt. And as far as my assertion that candy bars should be banned- that was just my personal humor coming through. My post was nothing to cause a civil war over, just me doing what people do on message boards: voice my feelings.

I put myself out there and I think Archer has the freedom of speech to respond in the way he wants. I can take it. I just read through the responses to my posts and take any motivation/positivity (if there is any) that I can out of each one.

Thanks to you who genuinely understood my post and didn't judge me for feeling so bad about the candy bar. I feel fine now. It's all good.

 

ANWAYS...tdionne....it will be okay :) like i said just eat healthy the rest of the day.

tdionne, I totally feel your pain, those surprise calories are the WORST! This has happened to me many times. I am addicted to Dunkin Donuts muffins and had one as a snack which barely filled me up at all and later found out it had 550 calories! I freaked, posted here, and everyone told me to relax (easier said than done!!)

But the reality is, that you should try not to get upset about it. Just try your best to have a healthy rest of the day and chalk today up to a "day off".

As long as you get back on the bandwagon tomorrow your weekly weightloss should barely or not even be affected at all!! 600 calories is only 1/5-1/6 of a pound so don't worry about it. If you are eating at the low end of you BMR it might even give you a metabolic boost. 

It's the holidays, you had chocolate, it was yummy, it happens!!!

I hope posting helps alleviate some of that tenseness - works for me to get it out there and not keep it bottled up.  Good for you not using it as an excuse to abandon and going into lyour luncheon with portion control.  It can be easy sometimes to say - just ate a 630 candy bar so I already blew it but your being so positive. 

But yes, we expect high calories in such things but 630 would make me go YIKES too!  And if for any reason you find yourself tipping back at 190s, sounds like it would be temporary. I can tell with that determination to not just abandon with that slip that the 180s are where your going. 

Sweetie just make a game plan next time this happens because it will happen again and again and again. I just went through a similiar experience yesterday with eating something I really knew I shouldn't. Game plan then next time you can just say thank you and secretly throw it away or if you feel bad doing that give it to someone else LOL. Let them get fat not you.

530 calories on an elliptical for me (6'0" - 200lb) takes me about 40-45minutes.  This morning I upped the level (from 5 to 12) and knocked out 500 in 28:39.
