Binge? Binge?!

I don't know why, but I've felt horrible today. I ended up mood eating, and when I entered it all in...

2400 cal today.

I'm so depressed now. I didn't even do anthing physical today, laziest of the lazy. What a train wreck.

I'm thinking that the only thing left to do is skip eating tomorrow. I can't build a time machine to go back to the past and tie myself up, and I'm fairly certain that there aren't any on ebay.

Strange too, because I haven't binged in almost an antire year...

Whoa whoa, hold on there darlin'!

2400 calories? That's nothing! I bet you can maintain on that! How many calories are you eating on a daily basis? I understand emotional eating, but if you're freaking out over 2400 calories, I'm a bit concerned.

I understand overeating sucks some serious monkey hoohaas, but you gotta forgive yourself and just take this as a day to.. I dunno, give your metabolism a little boost. Over eating from time to time won't kill yah, not working out on the same day of overeating won't kill yah, not a good thing to make a habit, but don't kill yourself over it. Take this as a relax day, and move on.

Tomorrow is a new day, so why bring something dead and over with into the new day? Seriously though, do NOT punish your body by skipping your meals. It's unnecessary, and doesn't benefit you one bit!

Let's just do better tomorrow, okay? Please be good to your body, and forgive yourself for a silly number slip-up.

(Oh, and if you need anyone to talk to in the future when you feel like overeating, you can message me anytime! Even if I'm kinda a complete stranger. XD I just want to help.)

 Daily I score in 1500 cal at the lowest, though it's usually around 1700 cal. I'd be more forgiving of my slip-ups if I didn't feel so blue, probably. Some days, we girls just feel fat. I know I'm not fat, but it makes me irritated and kinda bitchy, and eating definitely makes me more tolerable to be around for others and for myself. Very opposite mechanics, but the results are decent. xP

I just know I'm going to regret the extra 800 calories tomorrow morning. >.<

I'll try to remember your advice, though, Kay! Sounds more productive than being disgusted with myself.

omg, i know how you feel. all summer i would binge just because food was around the house. and now that school started its harder to balance it out with working out, which is what i did in the summer. and believe me, 2400 cals is nothin. idk how much iate, (too embarassed to count) but i know it was prolly much more than that. if you ever wanna talk we'd probably have a lot in common and could help each other because i feel exactly the asme way, and tell myself i shouldnt eat the next day but i always do anyway. but lately ive just told myself that i CAN fix it tomorrow. i used to just be negative, but that would lead to eating even more. try it, it may work.

Don’t stress dear! I maintain my weight, and I have eaten FAR too much 3 days this week I get insomnia at times and crave carbohydrates when I do, like this morning, I had my breakfast then had another HUGE, MASSIVE bowel of it, WAY more then you had! I still had my snack and my lunch and will have my snack later It works best for me when I still eat normally because my body is already in a pattern, and I feel satisfied when I eat normally and never get cravings! I would rather feel satisfied then to not eat to compensate, and then get cravings due to my body being out of whack I used to binge eat but I have pretty much stopped, I DID over eat today but not binge, and you know what? My weight stays THE SAME because I am consistent MOST OF THE TIME, so the times a stuff up do not add up long term. IT IS SCARY though! When you eat too many calories, it is as though we can feel every big fat calorie floating around our bodies! I know you are worried, but I over ate WAY more then you and I have stayed slim, I had a bad morning and had the extra huge bowel of breakfast and I feel silly about it but lets put this in perspective shall we?

hi all

i wonder if any of you can give me some advice, i count my cals and are very strict with myself and then i will eat one thing wrong and just keep on eating, where do you get the self control to stop yourself once youve cheated? i feel like a complete failure and then the next day will eat perfect until 4 or 5 then i will start eating crap again. do anybody know why i do this??? im so close to my goal and just keep on getting in my own way of loosing the last few pounds, its as if i wanna proof to myself i just cant do it... is this even rasional thinking. plz helpppp!!!!

for me, when i can feel myself slipping up, i force myself into conscious eating. i review how many calories i've consumed and think, "ok, you don't have to screw up. you are in control of what goes into your mouth, no excuses" its worked pretty well. its taken a long time to develop the willpower but overall ive been successful with it

I am trying to lose weight eating 2000/day and geenrally do ok. Last saturday went out for a meal, saw a show then ordered room service at about 11:30pm when we got back to the hotel. I reckon I ate something like 4500 that daybut I still ended up losing 1lb so I dont think having the occasional binge should make you feel so bad. It ownt harm you in the long run, or even really in the short run. The only damage seems to be how bad it makes you feel :( but as I knew it was going to happen I enjoyed every moment of stuffing my face and drinking!
