I've been on a pretty strict diet, 1,200 to 1,500 calories a day. going to the gym six times a week.
Yesterday I ate 4 things, a plain turkey sandwich 150 cals.
Mexican gumbo (chicken) from qudoba mexican grill, 800 calories.....and my boyfriend convinced me to go to dairy queen....i ate a whole large cookie jar blizzard...i couldn't put the stupid thing down because it was soooo good..then i looked up the calories for it this morning..1,550 calories!!!
Would it be safe if I just didn't eat today? Or if I just ate 500 calories for the day.
I'm feeling so guilty because i've been working so hard at my diet and I completely bombed it yesterday.
 
Skipping a meal is never a good idea. When you start to skip meals your body goes into starvation mode and then when you begin eating again it stores it all as fat. Just chalk it up as a loss. And start back with your diet as normal. Focus on how good you have been doing as opposed to your one cheat day. Another, tip.. In order to lose weight in a healthy manner you should eat the amount of calories for your goal weight times ten. So if your goal weight is 140lbs times that by ten and eat 1400 calories a day :-) Good luck!
