I just binged.

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).

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

Mmmm yeah triple D is my favorite food porn. Can only watch it when full or when dinner is already started.

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!

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.

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.

^^^ this! (: (:

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.

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

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!

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
