Binge eating episode

I've been really stressed lately and have been having weird pms cravings, which aren't usually this bad. The other night I had a binge episode and I thought I was over it, but it happened again last night, and now today. I've been doing so well and I feel like the last few days have just ruined the last 2 months of work. I know I'm stress eating, but it's just getting to be too much. I used to binge eat all the time, but with clean eating and exercise I have controlled it, but now I feel as though I've unleashed a monster. Anyone else having this problem? I'm on my period right now, and I'm probably just being overly emotional. I also just dumped my boyfriend for being a skeez, so a lot is just being piled on. Maybe I just needed to vent.

    First thing you have not ruined your last 2 months of work :smile:

    Real life will result in us having days or moments when we eat poorly, sometimes we have to look at the week and not the day to day progress.

    When I am on my cycle I have no appetite but prior to it I usually crave chocolate and sweets and I have them and log them, it's not ideal but it is a reality.

    Try this . . . pick a task that you need to do but don't want to do and when that craving kicks in tell yourself that you can indulge right after you complete that task. It can something as small as going through that pile of papers that you need to sort out - by the time you finish more than likely you will have forgotten about the craving.
