Is today considered a binge?

Wow, that is a lot of food, you are so good for logging it all honestly!

I guess you need to go back to your more targeted eating, and think more about the following:

WHY did you binge this day when you have been so controlled?
WHAT was the trigger?
Have a plan on what to do / eat / manage your day in case this situation arises again.
How did you physically FEEL after stuffing all this food in - remember that feeling, the unpleasantness (assuming that is how you felt!) and next time you are faced with a trigger try & recall that feeling.
Don't feel guilty about having a huge day, it is just one day, and if you normally manage great days then it is no biggie.
Think about what you eat each day usually - are you too restricted? This should be for the rest of your life so you want to be able to have the odd treat here and there without destroying your whole day.

Sounds like you did the right things - exercise, lots of water, and sought support from the MFP community - well done.

Good luck, don't give up :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

IF I were you.. I wouldn't eat anything tomorrow... i know its unhealthy but one day of fasting would not do anything... think about it.
if you ate around ur weight maintenance, I wouldn't say anything because eating at weight maintenance would just delay your weight loss... but damn.. you went TWICE as much as you were supposed to eat..thats cancelling your previous deficits..

like today, I went over by 1000 calories... my everyday net is 1200 so I'm eating just a breakfast tomorrow and then I'm not going to eat at all..

Ignore the above advice, that is heading towards the road called Eating Disorder.
You logged it, you know what happened. Move on, if you get hung up on stuff like this it will derail you.

100% agree!! Do not go down this path, it is sooo unhealthy to think this way! I had/have disordered eating, and this is pretty much how it started. Do not skip eating because of one bad day. Just get back on track and keep going! :flowerforyou:

If it's been 11 months and you haven't binged, I would not worry about it at all - if anything, you deserved to have a "pig out" day. Maybe that's your body trying to tell you something? You'll be all right, tomorrow's a new day, it's not the end of all civilization

Just chalk it up to annual binge day....once a year is earned and you logged so you know what you did.

Thanks everyone for your support. I did much better today by drinking more water and going to the gym during lunch. I DID eat some food just to confirm I am ignoring that person's post and I had an extra walk in the evening since I did not feel like watching Television. I also drank almost 20 cups of water to get that full feeling I was craving.

Have a great weekend!
