I see far too many people being hard on themselves when they go over by 50, 100, or even 150 calories. When you're this hard on yourself and give up because of it, your wight loss no longer becomes a physical limitation, it becomes a mental limitation and I'm guilty of going through it too!
Remember, if you go over by 100 calories all 7 days of the week and you were on target to lose 1 pounds that week, you'll still likely lose a minimum of 0.8 pounds. If you made the conscious effort to walk around a bit more during that week, chances are your weight loss will be completely unaffected.
Some of us like being strict, including myself. After 7 months and 65 pounds down, I'm loosening it up a bit. Its so easy to get caught up in exact numbers that sometimes we forget that even if we go over our daily limit, WE ARE STILL IN A DEFICIT!
The only real factor to weight loss is a nice consistent calorie deficit over a LONG period of time. Changes don't happen overnight, and even one day of falling off the wagon is merely a blip on the radar. If you find yourself repeatedly going over your calories, bump them up. It is what it is, you need to stay happy because if you're not, you'll be back in a sinking ship but make sure you keep your goals realistic.
Slow progress > no progress. Keep on counting y'all, and stop being so hard on yourselves! ❤️
