When it's only 11:00 am and you screw it. HELP ME OUT!

and you pass your calorie allowance for the day - *maintainance*, not even for weight loss....

To make it short, I'm trying to lose weight overehere... This morning I wento shopping with my mom and, as alays, she bought those sweets and buiscuits, and on the way back home I ate not less than *1400 kcals* worth of buiscuits.

I live with my parents (outch!) and today my mom is going to cook a roasted duck and rutabaga soup. If I say I don't want to eat she's going to raise hell.

It's 11:15 in the morning where I live now and I have already gone beyond my limits.

Another problem is that I am a university sophomore, and for the past three weeks I havn't been able to work out at all due to all the work I have to do - no free time..

I'm 19, 5'2, and 134 lbs - used to work out a lot during the summer, but now sedentary thanks to university work.

Can anybody, please, tell me what I should do for the rest of the day???

I feel so fat and frustrated.

I've done the same thing in the past--don't beat yourself up!  Eat the duck and soup in small portions (sounds delicious) and get back on track tomorrow.  You're young and you obviously care about getting to the right weight so you've got two marks in your favor.  It's hard to pass up the sweets but that's something you'll have to come to terms with--but what's done is done and one day won't make you balloon up.  Good luck.

Grow up little one.

Enjoy the time with your mom, eat the sweet, and the duck, and the soup. There's plenty of time to work all that off. Now that you are grown, the time you spend with your beloved parents is precious little.

Thank you for taking the time to reply.

Actually, I don't feel that bad now. I know I over ate and I still would rather I hadn't, but, so what? I also had my period today so I think that was part of the reason for my craving...

My parents were just telling me that I had lost enough weight over the summer and that I should start maintaining now - which kind of lifted my spirirts (although I STILL see myself fat)

Acording to this bmi graph

You need atleast around 1990 calories to maintain your current weight for a 19 year old girl. If you already had 1400 calories that still leaves you with around 600 calories for dinner. Just have a small portion of duck and soup and you will be fine! :D Plus even if you do go over one day over your calories its not a bad thing! It can atcually even boost your metabolism up because your eating the same amount of calories everyday. Hope this helps

Don't feel so bad.

Seriously. 

Messing up sometimes is normal, natural, and you aren't going to gain weight through this ONE slip up.

I'm 5'1 115 (as of this morning!) and have lost almost five lbs in the past week and a half in spite of about twice a week completely BLOWING my calorie "budget"

So don't sweat it. Set back days happen. 

I'm glad to hear you were feeling better a little bit after you posted. Today is over, but in case this is helpful for the future, or for anyone else -

Since you ate a lot of calories shortly before lunch noon, I would delay your lunch until 2pm or so, and have a light lunch - since the biscuits were  carbohdrate heavy, I'd go for a salad or soup with plenty of vegetables, some lean meat or tuna, and one slice of whole grain bread.  I'd make sure to include some healthy fats, too - basically, a balanced but light meal with plenty of veggies.

I'd skip an afternoon snack, since lunch was late, then have a normal dinner. and a normal after dinner snack (that is, have one if you usually do).

I think that going TOO light for the rest of the day would set you up to overeat the next morning.  However, it seems okay to me to have a lighter lunch than normal.  If you did that, I think you'd probably end up ~1000 calories over maintenance for the day; that sounds like a lot, but if you're at 500 calorie deficiet most days, it really isn't. 

The two worst possibles things to do if you overeat early during the day are to say, 1) screw it! and keep on eating junk food or 2) try to starve yourself for the rest of the day to make up for it.  As long as you don't do either of those, you should be jsut fine.
