Can you gain weight.....

Can you gain weight.....

from eating a lot of fat and calories in one day and not working out? I am eating some chocolate chip cookies....I NEVER eat junk...but am just in the mood. I also cant workout again until SUnday....just too much going on.

I know this is a silly question...but i am at my all time lowest weight ever...probably since i was a kid and I dont want to mess anything up too much.

I don't think you can gain weight from one day of goodies. Just go back to your workout routine tomorrow and you'll be fine. You have to treat yourself once in a while.

well, you need to eat 3,500 extra calories per day (i.e more than you burn) to gain one pound...

Now do the math of food and lack of exercise

WOW, I am definitely not eating an extra 3500 calories....that makes me feel a lot better.

Thanks for the info.

Working out and eating right has become such a routine for me that when I deviate from it I get lots of anxiety and feel tremendous guilt.

Chloe- when I miss a morning run or an evening work-out I feel the exact same way. So I understand how you feel guily. I only ran 2 miles this morning and have to take clients out this evening, so I won't make it to the gym. I too am feeling guilty.

The guilt really stinks...if its my off day from running...and I am not doing anything...I run anyway because I feel so guilty about sitting around.

Oh, on my off days I don't feel guilty..lol But on my not off days, when I miss the gym I feel HORRIBLE.
