Overthinking or valid?

[Overthinking1234]

Not sure if I’m wildly overthinking or got a valid point so was hoping for hive mind opinions! I lost a good amount of weight last year, then in the lead up to Christmas went really off track and found things feeling too tight/didn’t feel good in myself. Since NY, I’ve been trying to eat really well and exercising 30mins a day. I’m going on a city break with friends next week and plan was to be super good til then so I felt confident, then start allowing myself a bit more leeway (but keep with the exercise) to make it long term sustainable. However, today willpower went out the window as went out with friends and had a pint of beer and a McDonald’s. Now feeling awful and regretting it and worried that all the clothes I’ve just started fitting back into won’t fit and I’ll look chubby which I really don’t want. Is one day of terrible decisions going to outdo the last few weeks work or can I claw it back in the next few days?! Thank you x

Of course one day, which included a pint of beer and a McDonald’s isn’t going to undo the last few weeks. It’s not worth catastrophising about this. Just get back onto what you were doing up until today.

You might find the beer and carbs makes you a bit bloated but that should wear off by the start of the week.

Something I read recently that resonated with me, you don’t become instantly healthy by only eating salads for a week and so you don’t become unhealthy by eating rubbish for a week either! I needed to read that after enjoying Christmas food a little too much.
