ew.

What I ate today:

Breakfast:

Oatmeal: 160

2 Milk and Cereal Bars: 360

Lunch:

Spicy Tuna Roll: 400ish

Dinner:

Slim fast bar: 220

2 bottles light beer: 200

3 100 calorie packs: 300

Nearly the whole box of frozen yogurt: 1200

Total: 2840.

I'm disgusted with myself.

I'm over today too, by alot.....the box of pizza may have had something to do with it.  And I did SO WELL the whole damn day too!!!!! well....until the pizza showed up

So you fell off the wagon one day.  Just don't do it again tomorrow, get right back on!  Good luck!

I don't think there was enough protein in your menu for today.  The oatmeal was good for breakfast, maybe add a hardboiled egg in there or some cottage cheese instead of the cereal bars.

I don't know how much tuna was in the tuna roll, but if there was a decent amount, tuna is a great source of protein.

Then for dinner, the processed slim fast bar did nothing towards satisfying you or providing enough nutrients.  Some lean protein like chicken, turkey, lean beef or pork, fish, along with green veggies and a whole grain (brown rice, whole wheat pasta, etc.) would have been more satisfying and nutritious.  Then you may have been able to stop after one frozen yogurt dessert and avoided the 100 calorie packs altogether.  A little beer is OK - maybe just one though instead of two and a big glass of water. 

Overall, try to stay away from the processed foods and go more with whole foods.  Good luck.

laura42 is right!  Those processed foods are sugary/addicting.  If you are having a sugar craving go for the natural sugars in fruits instead.  You will find if you eat more whole foods you can eat much for volume for the amount of cals too.  Make sure to eat enough early on in the day so you aren't starving a night and won't binge... try for 6 small meals with protein in each one :)

Be strong and stay positive! Eat healthy and well the next day.

ugh. today hasn't been much better. I picked up my mom and went to stay at her house (since I just finished all my exams for the semester) and we went to mexican to celebrate so I had a steak fajita quesadilla and a margarita on the rocks. Not so great (except it was! it was so delicious!)

ok since you just finished your exams, it really is time to celebrate!

i know i've been treating myself here and there if I find out i got an A on a final, or something. i have 4 finals left and i know i'll probably treat myself to a night out. but then just gotta get back on track the next day!

also i dont know about your alcohol tolerance but i know when mine is low, and i have 2 beers, i can get fairly tipsy, for lack of a better word. 

alcohol has always made me binge at night, and i mean BINGE (like a huge burrito, or nachos, plus anything sweet and sugary in my house.)

so im making an effort to steer clear of alcohol, at least dont drink past the point where i cant make good food choices.

dont be disappointed, you'll get back on track!

its okay, just start fresh the next day.

dont worry about the mistake.  just dont get the all or nothing attitude and give up (its so tempting sometimes).  also, i think you should eat more protein and fat (just not trans fat).  i know that sounds awful, but those foods are satisfying and if you eat foods that are naturally filling, then you end up eating smaller portions.  i have learned that i can eat 1/2 of a chicken breast with some cheese and be full or i can eat 6 bowls of spaghetti and still not be full.  so i say eat more protein and fat and less carby/sugary stuff.

I started out good today, and then it all went downhill. I binged on candy. I stopped counting, but if it makes you feel any better I'm pretty sure I ate more than than you.

thats doesnt make anyone feel better.  get rid of the candy and take control back.  im not trying to sound rude, but i see so many posts about "help, i just binged." or something like that and the solution is to focus and keep trying.  making mistakes is totally fine, ive made a million mistakes, but sulking makes things worse.  just focus.

i think some of us have overeaten to the point of extreme.  last night i ate 3 bakery buns that were probably worth 500 each!  and today i felt so depressed about it and not finding a single decent pants that fit me for work, i lied calling my boss and told her i had some allergic symptoms that my face was swollen. then i has a massive crying session which really made my eyes swollen now. 

we're here to comfort you, but is that someone at home that can help you?

I actually had to call in sick once because of a binge I had the night before. I woke up with flu-like symptoms, having everything but the fever and vomiting. lol

thats sounds kind of like an eating disorder....im 224 lbs.  im obese and i definately know what it means to eat and eat and eat, but ive never had to call in sick because of a binge.

What always helps me when I get hungry and can't seem to stop is eating a string cheese.  I seem to always have a string cheese after dinner to stop my craving to munch of food all night.  I guess it is just satisfying enough to make me stop eating for the night so long as I eat it in place of dessert.  Not too bad since it is only 60 calories!  And it is okay to overeat by accident occasionaly.  I overate tonight, too many potatoes!  Anyways, what is important is that you get back on track tomorrow and try to keep your goal in sight before you begin overeating again.  Good luck!

 it is an eating disorder. binge eating.  and i did not call in sick because of binging, i called in sick because of a mental breakdown of not finding any pants that fits so i can wear to work.
