340 kcals in biscuits

Diastole

Oh god I just binged 340 kcals of milk choc digestives because I`m a greedy disgusting cow! How did I allow myself to do this?! I`m lactose intolerant as well. There will be hell to pay and I have no one to blame but myself =[

I understand. I try to include biscuits in my calorie count once or twice a week so I won't go crazy and eat a whole package.
Just let it go (once your bowels are back to normal) and move on. It happens.

That doesn't make you a disgusting cow, just a person who likes biscuits. Everyone, and I mean everyone, has days like these. If you put the calories into perspective, you probably didn't even go up to maintenance calories. Allowing this to dictate how you feel about yourself is not in the least helpful. What would be helpful is to look at it objectively and think why you overate, what were you feeling at that moment? Were you restricting too much and this was a rebound? Are your calories too low? and so on..

What happened is not bad, it just is. It's a valuable learning opportunity (and there will be many of these along the road) and will only help you fine tune your diet.

Caramel choc ones are so much better!

I feel your pain! Give me a big mug of tea and a packet of rich tea fingers and I can literally soak up the entire mug with an ENTIRE packet of biccies. I rarely have them in the house now as no one else eats them and I can't just eat a couple! You are NOT a disgusting cow, you are what is known as "human". It's done now, move on, it's really not so bad... We all slip up from time to time, and it will happen again! The trick is to not let it consume you, to accept you will make mistakes, to learn from the mistakes and move on quickly. If you cut down 100 cals over the next 3 days, the "damage" will be mitigated. All sorted. But I wouldn't even bother doing that...

Dark chocolate for me.

OP you ate a few biscuits, you're probably not even at maintenance. It's not a big deal.

340 calories is not a binge (it's the equvialent of a small lunch). You didn't allow yourself, you couldn't take the pressure of denying yourself pleasure from food, noone can. Stop calling yourself bad names.

340 is nothing! I eat up to 600 in cookies a day dont let it derail you.

Sorry for the melodrama and thanks for everyone`s kind and funny words. Just, when I slip up it feels like I`m incapable of self discipline and that if I can`t stop myself from eating 4 measley biscuits that I`m intolerant to...then what AM I capable enough to do in life? Anyway, I`ll try to move on from this and deduct 100kcals a day to make up. Thanks again!

Is that a cookie monster in your profile pic? I have days like that too. One day won't derail you. I will try to eat something sweet every day...so that I can resist binging on large amounts of sweets. Even if you eat over 1000 calories more than daily goal, it won't derail you if the other days, you have been consistent.

Some very successful people actually have overeating as their way of letting off steam.

Or get some exercise to compensate?
That would turn the event into a win/win.

I don't know what level of intolerance you are at but I am lactose intolerant too and I take lactase enzymes to deal with it. They are OTC and do quite well with me as long as I take enough. Have you ever been referred to use them?
