Move on....I know that feeling though. Diagnosed with binge eating disorder. It happened, it SUCKS. Can't do anything about the calories, but you CAN learn from it. What led to it, what could you have done differently?

What's happened is now in the past. Look to the future - what can we do differently?

Feel free to add me. Believe you me, I KNOW this feeling of dread. It sucks. Hugs

What triggered the binge? *hugs* I feel your pain. I still binge like that too. I usually find that I gain a half pound or pound of fat or so after one of those, but it comes back off after careful eating for a few weeks. You can see what I mean on my weight trend graph in my post here.

One bad day is not the end of the world. Depending on what time it is where you are, can you at least go for a walk or do some exercises in your home? Eat the right number of calories tomorrow and take it from there. One day at a time.

Log it and move on.

What was the food, BTW? Any good? I always try to have the goal that if you're going to go over your caloric allotment, it should always be for something really quality. I tend to prefer massive steakhouse restaurant meals, or super-premium ice cream products.

Been there, done that. Just jump back on the wagon, continue using MFP and exercising, and you will get back on track. Losing weight is a lot of ups and downs, but as long as you are consistent on getting back on track and eating healthy and with a deficit, you will lose weight. I actually overeat/drink by thousands of calories at least one night of the week, and I've managed to continue losing. Try to stop worrying about it, as you don't need the added stress. Good luck!

The overeating is one thing, but the thoughts and fear is going to tear you to pieces. Please seek professional help. Now.

Hugs.

I know that feeling, I have done it many times before but I learned from it. But if you really feel bad about it, exercise most of it off if you can, and then eat healthy tommorow.

OP you state in the thread copied below that you are 5ft1 and 100lb. Spend your mental energy on why you binged and what you are going to do to avoid it occurring it again rather than weight gain.

It sucks and it happens, but compare it to your maintenance calories. If your maintenance calories are 2000 and you ate 4000, then in reality you only overate enough to gain a bit over half a pound. That's it. Since you had a slight deficit twice this week, it's going to be even less. Just one hiccup on your journey is all.
