I feel horrible, Im letting myself down!

I feel awful guys! Today ive been on a binge rampage! Ive had nearly 400 over my daily limit and that takes me over 2000 cals! AHHH its not good! Since saturday ive let myself down alot. I didnt count calories for the weekend as a weekend off but it seems to have extended into this week! Monday and tuesday i had alot of fatty foods because of pancake day , yesterday was not too bad but today has been terrible!

I had cheese on toast, pizza, garlic bread, chocolate etc.. and im still hungry! I just feel really really hungry tonight and i cant kill it, my kitchen is empty apart from a few muffins, cereal and milk!!! We need to do a shop but i cant afford to eat anymore i cant do it! :( its not good!!

Ive tried drinking loads of water but because it has little taste i dont get full up!!

How does everyone cope on a binge day/week?

Im sorry! BUMP

I'm so sorry. Can you get out of the house? Maybe go for a walk or take a bubble bath, make some tea, call a friend, ect. just something to get your head off of food for awhile.

One thing that helps me is to not think that my whole "diet" has been ruined, but rather it was just a slip-up.  Which everybody has.  And I remind myself that it could've been worse, a lot worse!!! I mean total catastrophe! Just try to keep your head up and look to the future.  Yes you messed up, but you now know that your body deserves better.

You can get through this.  

A few slip ups won't make you gain any serious weight.

You may have had a "binge week" because you weren't eating enough the past few weeks, so your body is rebelling. Just something to consider. :)

As for how to deal with it, shop right. You are very lucky that you don't have much in your house, lol. Since you mentioned that money is an issue, soup is both easy on the calories and the wallet! Just get some boullion and veggies - cabbage and potatoes are very cheap and filling. You could also try frozen veggies.

Thanks guys i feel much better today! I dont think ive been undereating as for the last 3/4 weeks ive felt fine it was jsut when i let my self go a little bit my body wanted to carry on!

Today is a better day though so its a fresh start (again!) hehe 

400 calories is nothing. You need to eat 3500 calories ABOVE your maintenance level to gain a pound so 400 calories is nothing but a tiny blip and may in fact even give your metabolism a much needed boost.

Hello there,

I gained 4lbs over the last 2 week span doing exactly the same thing.  I just went mad on sweet stuff which I don't normally eat EVER. And I felt so bad that I stopped going to gym too. I felt so terrible but it still took another couple of days of "bad" eating to get me to stop.  I got on the scale this am for the first time, and honestly, I expected more than a 4lbs gain.

My "fell off the wagon" [i posted a thread while it was happening and got some great feedback, if you want to read the whole wacked out story:-)], started with an emotional event that i chose to ignore, and I just plummeted down from there.  But in a strange way it was good thing because I have always known I was an emotional eater, I just thought of myself as an "instant" emotional eater, not a "repressed emotional" eater!:-)

So hang in there!  Stop beating yourself up, and let your body and mind return back to being in sync with each other...then you can get on track again.  Its a daily struggle but if I can do it, so can you!! :-):-) Take care.
