I had over 1,000 calories worth in cinnamon bread alone. I feel so sick and disgusting. I know I didn't "gain five pounds in one night" like some people stress over, but I am ashamed and sickened none the less. What do you guys do after a binge? I'm just curled up with some tea and planning my healthy breakfast, lunch and dinner tomorrow.

Reflect on what was going on right before it started. Think about HALT (hungry, angry, lonely, tired). Then forgive yourself. This journey is about progress, not perfection.
Sometimes this Mom sends herself to her room for a time out with a box of tissues.
You've got a plan for tomorrow, and that's a good place to be. Let today go.0 -
preplan your meals tomorrow and perhaps talk to your Physician about the binge eating0

I always feel terrible after a binge but, thankfully, I don't do it all that often nowadays. When I do, I log what I've eaten so I can see the damage, and then I try to make up for it the rest of the week. I'll eat at a slightly greater deficit each day to try and offset the binge day, or I'll work some of it off in the gym. As long as I meet my weekly calorie goal, then I don't worry too much about one binge
Try not to feel too bad about it - just get back on track tomorrow, like you're planning to do, and the binge will soon be long forgotten! 0 -
Have those days once in awhile dont kill yourself over it...just move on and still stick with it dont give up because you binged But yes i do the same thing i always say how gross i feel and how much better i would have felt if i ate something healthy, so its funny you said that. 0

First off, hats off to you to admiring it. If I were you, I'd track this episode, this way you can see what time it was, which meal it was before (or after) and try to see the pattern. Maybe there is something you can do right before the time that you have the binge that can offset the feeling? Also-maybe you need to REMOVE those triggers completely from your view. Don't have it around until you feel that you have mastered that food. Sometimes we think we are in control but we are not. I am on my weight loss transformation and I do NOT ALLOW CRACKERS in my house-at all. It is a trigger food. Hope this helps. 0

The best thing is that tomorrow is a new day. No one is perfect and we all fall off the wagon. Pick yourself back up and start again. You are already on track with planning tomorrow! 0

don't hate yourself for it. wipe the slate clean and vow to do better tomorrow.
on long term diets, I schedule a day a month, not for a binge but for some things I really enjoy but can' thave. basically it's a carb day ( I am a low carber) Might go out for a waffle for breakfast and have a slice of pizza later for lunch and pasta bread and wine for dinner. terrible calorie day but once a month won't kill anything at all0 -
The bread was from Costco. My mom brought home a new loaf too hahahah oh god. I think I'll be able to say no the it though, I've had my fill of it!
Edit: Thanks for the kind words, guys!0 -
Sometimes I find my binges are less emotional and more that the food was just really friggin' good. You may just need to stay away from cinnamon bread. It sounds so good...0

Right? I put peanut butter on some of the slices too. ugh. I ALMOST made french toast with some of the slices, but decided not to...then ate cereal. hahah...I mean I ran 5 miles today so it's okay right? (jokes)
Edit: Why is bread so good? Why?0 -
I just did the same exact thing! I was doing great all day and was 300 calories under my goal. I finished an hour long cardio workout (walking 4 miles up and down hills) but was starving to death almost shaky. Broke down and tried fur pretzels to make the stomach growling go away. That quickly turned into 8. Next had almonds in an effort to keep it healthy. Finally just hit the leftover buffalo chicken pizza in the fridge. I was even avoiding watching diners drive ins and dives and bizarre foods. Need to find a way to quell the hunger pains or find a zero calorie food to much on.0

This is not cause for such negativity. Take a look at these numbers for a littler perspective:
Cinnabon, Classic, 880 calories.
Cheesecake Factory (Dulce de leche caramel cheese cake) 1 slice, 1080 calories (personal favorite)
Cold Stone - Like it sized = SMALL Founder's Favorite, 1020 calories
Not implying these splurges should be the norm, just that eating a bit too much sweet stuff shouldn't make you feel "sick and disgusting". You should never feel that way about eating, ANYTHING. It happens. You have a plan for tomorrow, so it doesn't look at all like are 'derailed'. One day won't reverse your progress, I promise.
Put it behind you and start fresh tomorrow.0 -
Don't beat yourself up too much, as someone else said take note of you weekly calorie count for the week and cut back a little over the next few days. We all have binges, chocolate is the worst for me, I'm one of those people that can't have any because there's no way I can stop myself at one piece. I just try to gain back with exercise and a little less calories over the next few days.
It's a journey and a little set back won't throw you off totally. You're already getting back on track by planning your next meals and wanting to stop it from happening again 0 -

Completely agree.0 -
That's not a big deal at all. Sometimes you just need to stuff your face. I call it a carb refeed and then lay waste to the gym the next day (amazing what a bunch of carbs can do to your lifts).0

This is what makes me feel a little better. I have a class tomorrow but when I get home around 2 pm I plan on biking to the gym to run and lift!0 -
There you go then!!! Seriously, don't sweat it. You had a high carb/calorie dessert. Use it as fuel on a kick a*s workout tomorrow!That's not a big deal at all.

I agree. I binged on a small bag of chocolate covered pomegranates--it was supposed to hold 13 servings, but I demolished it in two. Now I pick up the bag at the store and look at it but it doesn't go in my cart. Some day, possibly, but not now.
Good luck. It's a learning experience, and now you know.0 -

Mmmm yeah triple D is my favorite food porn. Can only watch it when full or when dinner is already started.0 -
I personally exercise. I try to get into positive calories, every day. It doesnt ALWAYS happen, but I try to make up for it the next day. Dont think of it as " I just binged, I will make sure not to tomorrow. Look at it more like " I just ate 1000 cal. Lets see how many cal I can burn off by the end of the day." Or you can count half of your cal from your binge today so, 500; then add 500 the next day, exercise and burn them off before you start eating for the day, or just make sure to exercise and stay with in the rest of your "budget" Dont get depressed and let it consume you. ( Just make it like a challange almost. Have "fun" with it and you will feel accomplished after you burn those calories. Dont worry so much about your macros rigjt now, just about killing those cal with exercise lol. But seriously. It happens. You should allow yourself a meal where you eat what you want then, just make sure you exercise and watch it. Good luck!0

I'm having similar feelings. I've been having these insane cravings. Last night, although I completed the day slightly below my calorie allotment, I had a skinny cow ice cream sandwich. This morning I walked into work (I'm in Germany so it's morning) and has the most overwhelming craving for peanut butter and it happens that I had a bag of peanut butter m&m's. I'm sure I ate a little more than a serving size. Oh well, the day is just beginning and I have hours to make up for this little mishap.0

Well Cinnamon Bread is amazing. It happens. Learn from it and move on. :flowerforyou:0

Yeah I did the same thing a couple weeks ago with fresh garlic bread from whole foods. All I had for dinner was garlic bread, but I ate a ton of it.
You feel sick, you move on. And try not to do it again for a long time. lol 0 -
