I had been restriction really well for the last couple weeks but My parents caught on and today I was forced to eat 1500 calories
I'm 169cm 121lbs and I'm fucking terrified. I feel like all my progress from the last 3weeks went to trash and that I will have gone back to my SW tomorrow. I have been walking for the last 1hour and plan to keep on walking until I go to sleep. I'm so sad and disappointed to have ruined today

Honestly, and trust me when I say this, one day of going up in calories will NOT ruin your progress. Just like how 1 day of eating healthy won't make you underweight, one day of overeating won't make you overweight. Please don't panic.

you're still probably under your tdee, i wouldn't worry too much

1500 is probably still a deficit for 121lbs

I second that!

using your height and weight, your bmr works out to be 1350 (assuming you’re a female), which is only 150 less than what you’ve eaten today. also, you’ve exercised. it’s impossible to gain actual weight by eating at or under your bmr, so one day of overeating won’t take away your progress. i know it’s hard but you can make up for it after, you won’t gain any lasting weight, and it certainly won’t take away any of your progress. you’ll be fine, love <3

One day of going up or even a week isn't going to ruin your weight loss. Weight gain takes time.

I second what everyone is saying, you've more than likely burned more calories than that just today. You'll be okay <3

Don't panic. I promise you'll be fine. Actually, I don't know if this makes you feel any better, but sometimes eating 1-2 high cal days can help you drop weight quicker. Your body can plateau if you do the same thing everyday.  So this switch up could work out for you in the long run as far as progress goes.
