I Ate 1500cals at Once Last Night - WTH?

BarbaraCarr1981

First of all, I know why I did it. I got a low blood sugar from too much insulin taken (Im T1 diabetic) and I lost control for treating the low. I went wayyy over board and wasn't thinking right. The only thing on my mind was stuff face until this "low" feeling went away. I know thats not how im supposed to do it but hey, i am still human and i did it. Now, what im wondering is 1500 cal overload gonna set me back anyway? Like have to wait a week longer to reach my goal or just screw it and move on - nothing i can do?

I mean there's really nothing you can do for an overeat that extreme. If your daily calorie limit is not already low, you could cut back a little bit the rest of the week, and/or bump up your exercise level this week, but IMO it's not worth it. Just move on. It happens to most of us at some point, and as long as you're back on track, it's okay. People of normal weight overeat sometimes too, it's just a matter of being in control MOST of the time.

Your diary shows you went over by 1200. You're showing a 500/day deficit plan. So you set yourself a couple days back. It's not a big deal.

I would go ahead and delete the "Quick Add Calories" and actually log what it was you ate last night. Be more accountable to yourself.

NO! I don't want too. It bothers me what I ate. I need to try my best to avoid lows because they are what cause my bingeing.

The rationale I have behind logging it is that it might help you identify trigger foods and the feelings that led you to those foods. If you won't own up and log it here, I suggest you at least start a written food journal of some sort.

Oh man, a couple weeks back I had a piece of ribeye that was at least 1700 calories on its own.

So good.

There's an attitude for long-term success.

Another thing that might help is keeping processed foods out of the house. I have noticed you eat a fair amount of Butterball turkey and packaged snacks. If convenience food wasn't there you probably wouldn't binge.

I ate half a large pizza and half an order of bread sticks a few weeks ago (about 8 weeks before my bodybuilding competition).

Nothing to do with that. When u have a low blood sugar, you're brain doesn't function properly. You can cry, laugh and get mad all in 2 minutes together. But u do know that you have to eat to get your sugar back up and sometimes diabetics go crazy and eat alot to get the sugar up. To avoid this, drinking oj or apple juice works best because it works fast. Last night i didn't have access to that.

I'm not hypoglycemic or nothin, but I'm pretty sure that having low blood sugar doesn't mean you need to eat until you puke.

There are still a 3 days left in the week. See if you can burn off enough through exercise to put you under for the week. I crushed some Heinekens watching Monday Night Football an have been hitting it hard all week to get back under my calories for this week. Finally made it back under yesterday.

We must be related. Dill pickle chips are the best.
