I've certainly been there. The best advice I ever received was to start back up, right now. Have your scheduled snack, meal, whatever, as if you hadn't messed up. Often what can derail our best intentions is trying compensate for mistakes by skipping meals, then we binge and the cycle keeps going until we quit.

I've also found it helped to have a plan for the next day or so (or week) for meals and snacks so that staying on track is easier while getting the mind and body back into good health mode.

I'm sure others will have sage advice as well. Try not to beat yourself up about it - that won't help :) Good for you for recognizing the trouble and getting back on track!

 

I've been having a similar week, but I am blaming the weather (I'm in MN where it was in the 60s two weeks ago, but been in the 30s since then, with snow since yestrdayFrown) and a lot of company since my mom returned from her trip last week.

The scale has been unkind to me as a result, however I'm keeping up with the work out (every little bit helps) and today's the first day in more than a week that I'm consciously trying to limit my calories to stay under my daily allowance. So, I'd suggest, you pick up with your work out (if you were doing that). It makes you feel great, and somehow makes you more vigilant about what you eat. Then get back on track.

Best of luckSmile

Get back on track!  Just do it! Smile

I had a huge project due last week (like a 5 month project), took the weekend off to rest, and got back into things Monday.  I was tired Monday, sore Tuesday, and feel great today.  Just get to it, and it will be so much easier.
