Broke calorie limit in a strange way ...

Disappointed because for the first time in like 70+ days I ate more calories than I wanted to, .. it was weird, like being physical overcome by hunger. It wasn't a "cheat" in the traditional sense where you just decide to eat a pizza or something ... it was more of a just being really intensely hungry all day, as if I had been out doing hard labor or something, which I hadn't been.

Anyway, disappointing, and has set me back a few days now ... going to suffer through a reduction in calories for the next few days (which is going to REALLY suck because I'm only on 1500/cal day to begin with) to make up for it.

It's just weird to me how it happened, .. why would I suddenly be so hungry after being fine for over 2 months. I'm male so I can't blame it on cycles.

Edit, you know, I've been thinking about it and I realize now it didn't just fall out of the sky completely out of the blue either. For the past maybe 48 hours it's like I have been trying to convince myself that everything was okay, like trying to give myself reassurance, or convince myself that my diet was right ... I just noticed that it's been a topic of discussion with me, it's almost like I knew something was going on before it happened, like on some kind of subconscious level my brain already knew something was going on. I really don't know what to think about it.

Anyway, thanks to everyone who responded .. I'm going to try to look on the bright side, which is that I'm not going to be very hungry tomorrow (today, if its after midnight where you are) .. so if I basically didn't eat much for the next day it would make up probably half the calories I ate that were over the limit. I'll try to follow everyone's advice and just put it behind me ... I mean who TF really knows, maybe I was about to get a cold and my body wanted calories to fight it off or something, who TF knows. It was weird though.
