PLEASE I need some fast support.
I need reasons not to purge at this moment...for some reason I feel like I have just binged even though I KNOW I ate a decent amount of calories my mind is going crazy and saying GO MAKE YOURSELF PUKE but I know I shouldn't and I just need some fast advice why not to agghhhhh. I just ate:
~sushi roll=290 cals
~carrots & pepper=40 cals
~dried fruit=50 cals..?
~greek yogurt=30 cals
~bread=30 cals
~apple=70 cals
so what....like 510 calories??!! That was dinner. It wasn't overating. I'm fine.
you are more than fine...GREAT!! your meal choices were awesome and your body is in heaven...don't confuse it and screw up your metabolism...you'll feel terrible afterward. just focus on tomorrow and what you can do better. write down everything that you are grateful for that has been due to recovering and not b/p cycles!! drink some tea...stretch...write in a journal. anything to prevent yourself from purging. you deserve to be healthy...please don't do it..you can PM me if you like :) cheer up because that was a well balanced meal and none of it was empty calories at all!!
calm down, you didnt eat a lot, see the apple has sugar but is a good one, the yogurt help u loose weight, and makes the fat out from your body faster, and then the bread is carb but u ate a few portion, the carrots and pepers are veggies, and the sushi is not that bad.
So if u had in your day more things, dont worry, tomorrow, try to eat more protein, because this one is burned faster by your muscles (atkins diet), one day dont make you bigger but 5 yes, so calm down, and tomorrow ull be fine
good luck!!!!!
and dont puke, dont, thats the easy choice, and it wasnt that bad, imagine if you had ate 2 burgers with fries in carls, thats a reason to overeact....
yes thank you chrissy you're very right, it was a good meal and there's no reason I should consider it too much...I think my mind freaked out/is still kind of freaking out is because I changed my plan, I had intended on having the sushi with the apple for dessert, but then I went and ate the dried fruit and little piece of bread and for some reason that made me feel like I had failed miserably and lost control. I just feel like I eat way way way too much all the time and it freaks me out. I'm calming down though. Sorry this was such an illogical kind of waste of topic!

....and ps do you really think making yourself puke is the "easy choice."?! sorry I'm so lazy and choose the "easy way."
ur fine.. don't fret.. 510 isnt that much.. i even ate around 700 cals for dinner yesterday, coz i ate a lot of chocolates. haha!
Alerivera, purging is a serious, serious problem. It's deadly. Do you understand that? It is not an 'easy way out'.
Furthermore a lot of what you spouted is mostly garbage without basis. The atkins diet leads to serious health complications like any restrictive diet does. Yoghurt doesn't flush fat. Veggies, sushi, fruit sugars - yeah, okay. You're right there. As for the OP, as far as I know she definitely doesn't need to lose weight and if anything, last I checked, could do with gaining a little. But that's not the topic at hand.
Cowcow, I don't think this topic was useless. You busied yourself. You listed what you ate which, actually, helped you look at rationally. When you listed what you actually consumed, did it help you see that what you ate isn't overeating at all? This is a positive action. Instead of listening to the silly voice telling you to purge you sat down and asked for help.
Obviously, Clorie Count can't help you all the time, though. If you wig out at a change of plans you're going to have a lot of trouble coping in life. Things change and we have to learn that. For you, that might include speaking out, slowing down when you eat, adjusting to changing schedules and anticipating triggers. Are you seeking medical help with this? If not you really do need to. But you did well taking one step in getting busy instead of heeding that urge to purge. Now, try and build on that, and that includes speaking to a doc if you're not already.
If you still need to let the freaking out settle in your head either go get your nails done and get a cute design or paint them yourself. It will help busy yourself more. I wish I could eat like you. Sushi doesnt settle well w. me. Same with pepper. But everything you ate was super healthy and delic. Try meditating too and think about how good the food tasted when it went down and how it will nourish your body when digesting.
lalabanana and gem86, thanks so much your advice really helps me a lot. Right now I'm really glad that I actually didn't end up purging last night too! yay.
Also what you're saying about not being able to cope with change is very very true. I just challenged that aspect of my life, I had planned on not eating til dinner BUT i was a little hungry so I just ate a satsuma and a few chips and a small piece of chicken. And its fine! I shouldnt' purge ever again, food is good for the body and healthy.
BE STRONG! You have done GOOD!
Hang in there, you have made healthy choices. Those 510 Calories were good calories & will do you no harm. Go split some wood tomorrow or do something to counteract if you feel bad, but unless you overate during the day, I really on't see that you have done yourself any harm. We all need to enjoy food!
Take Care!
