Hey- one blunder won't 'set you back'.. just put it behind you and get right back on track at your next meal...

You can't take it back- so as long as you enjoyed it and know it's a one-off- don't look back... ONLY FORWARD.
You'll be FINE

It's not going to hurt you at all! But don't do what I do and have one bad meal a day - that's bad. I read in weight loss magazines that you need to have something 'bad' every once in a while. If you keep denying yourself, then you will binge. So don't feel guilty and enjoy the philli cheesesteak sandwich in your little tummy!

The MOST IMPORTANT thing is to not let that one bad meal turn into an excuse to bing or eat badly the entire day.
Yes, one bad meal will mess your metabolism up a bit, but if you are strict with yourself right after that one bad meal, you'll be back on track.
And, what is one bad meal...depends on what you mean? Maybe it wasn't even all that bad?

Just don't use it as an excuse to keep cheating and you'll be alright. You may gain 1 pound back today, but get back on track tomorrow and you'll see how fast you burn that 1 pound off.
It takes a lot to gain weight. One meal wont do it to you. Don't feel guilty. Enjoy the cheesesteak and don't have any more!

It wont set ya back. You have to allow yourself some relief once in ahwile..if ya dont..thats how binging starts..its ok to cheat now and then... If you deprive yourself too much..you'll go crazy! I know its hard to watch what ya eat..its a struggle for me everyday..man..I would love a philly cheese steak right now!!

dont worry it wont set you back. Just do damage control. eat a lot of fruit and drink lots of water.
If you had a philly cheesesteak everyday 3 times a day that may set you back
But one sandwhich not a big deal. Its ok to have a splurge every once in a while. Just dont make a habbit of it.
