    That's not that bad of a binge. Don't about it and whatever you do o not try to make up for it the next day. This led me to having disordered eating patterns for a few weeks which I've now come out of. Stay on track and try having a cheat meal and maybe a snack at the end of the week. Do this every week sensibly and a binge will probably never happen again :)

    I don't think you know what binging is. Binging is uncontrollable emotional eating. 1000 calories isn't a binge, it's overeating and won't hurt you if you do it very seldom.

    When I have a binge day ,which I do now and then, I increase my cardio the next week and forget about it. We all slip. Get back on track. Don't tell yourself anything negative about it and just say I'm still on a diet and get right back on track. I had one recently for my birthday. This is what I did and in no time I was feeling right back on track. I would say that one day a week is too much. It may be enough to keep you in a place of no change. I try to fit my binges in with the calorie intake allowed, i.e. I had French Crepe yesterday. More cheese than I usually eat but I adjusted the rest of the day accordingly. Hope this helps. Asking for help was the first and correct step. So kudos for doing that.

    relax and move on. one binge will have minimal effects. if you keep repeating it that's an issue.

    honestly it's very possible with my body because it's used to eating so little, since I went months with restricting it. But that peanut butter was very good! So oh well, it's a new day.

    I thought you said you eat 1500 cals per day?

    Yeah I didn't even attempt to log it either!

    I don't understand why you wouldn't log everything, good and bad. You aren't helping yourself by selectively tracking your food!

    I always log everything but when you're eating peanut butter straight from the jar and not from a TBSP it's kind of hard to track it!

    you said it was 1/4 of a 16 oz jar. so, 4 oz is what you ate. lets say there are about 32 oz in a 190 cal serving of PB, and approximately 28.5 grams in 1 ounce. so we can conclude you ate about 114 oz of PB, which comes out to about 3.5 servings, which is about 665 calories.

    Lol. That's not a REALLY BAD BINGE. Lol. Don't be so dramatic.

    honestly, i don't need your rude comments. thanks.

    i do but that's just recently. for 6 months i put my body under torture of only eating 900 calories a day and i was losing a pound a week. i don't eat enough for my body yet but i'm slowly increasing my calories.

    People are really rude. I would consider that a binge. Just because some people's binges mean 209483048 calories, doesn't make yours not a binge.
    Anyway, keep your head up! What's one day in the scheme of things? We've all had bad days.
    I'm glad that you're eating 1500 now instead of 900! That's doing it the healthy way.

    Sometimes we lose small battles. As long as you win the war, this little bit of peanut butter in nothing more than a bump in the road.

    I mean they say you should have a cheat day once a week.

    Who is they? Also a little peanut butter sounds like a rookie binge to me. Call me when you polish off two pints of ice cream, a giant bag of peanut M&Ms, and 40 pizza rolls.

    i did 12 Jack-in-the-box tacos a couple weeks ago. It was wonderful and horrible at the same time.

    Honestly, thank you so much. Everyone see's food differently and no one has the right to say what I felt was wrong. Coming from someone who already has disordered thoughts of food, I really felt that people we're responding back to this in a rude way. Maybe it's because I am a young girl, but I don't need to be treated like a child. I posted this in regards of help, and motivation because I was very upset last night.

    As everyone else said, tomorrow is a new day. I'd track it as best I can just so I could try to adjust my weekly totals with a walk, or some other exercise.

    And I just ate a Graham Snacker with peanut butter and grape jelly totaling up to 290 calories. That was my lunch. Very filling that peanut butter.

    welcome to the internet. If you expect to stay here very long, we recommend both a thicker skin and the ability to laugh at yourself, since you will need both quite often. Almost as of equal importance would be to remember that you didn't hear the guy actually speak. You took it how you wanted to take it. Read it back to yourself and pretend it is a friend who is teasing you rather than a stranger telling you something that you don't appreciate. All in all, one day over does not weight gain make; so log it, then move on.

    That's a great binge in my opinion, plenty of essential fats. Don't worry about it, at all.

    Hey honey,
    You are young and have issues with eating. We are faced with all these ads and good advice and being told what is good for us, what is bad for us, what we should do, what we shouldn't do. What is healthy, what is unhealthy - this makes it hard to know what is best for us. I don't know if you have seen a doctor or a dietician but it sounds like you are getting back on track. I wish you all the best in your endeavour to enjoy and appreciate food. And of course your life! Take care,
    Jayne

    :noway: Sorry, that's not a binge. I polish off a jar of peanut butter every week.

    Hahahahaha, first off "binged really bad" isn't 1/4 of peanut butter..and second, let me get up after I fell laughing, you CAN NOT gain 15 lbs water overnight UNLESS you have heart disease, where patients can gain even 20...
    geesh!

    yeah it is a binge because i'm a small girl who only eats about 1500 a day, so eating about 7 servings of peanut butter is about 1260 more calories then normal. i gained 15 pounds of water weight over night.

    A jar of peanut butter is 14 servings, each of which are 2 tbsp... If you ate seven servings, then you ate 1/2 the jar, not 1/4... Either way, that's not a binge. Peanut butter is just calorie dense. A binge would be eating a whole large pizza or an entire bag of cheetos.

    Yeah I didn't even attempt to log it either!
    Funny thing is, i woke up and was like wow my stomach is so flat that I was like hm.. let's just see the damage and i was shocked to see 15 pounds of water weight! I'm just going to drink a lot of water and do some extra cardio today after work!

    But hey great minds think alike when it comes to binging on peanut butter :p

    good luck to you as well!

    Maybe 3-5 of that was water weight, but that leaves about 10 more "gained" pounds to be accounted for. Do you realize that it takes about 3500 calories ingested to gain ONE pound of weight. That means you would have had to ingested roughly 35,000 calories to be able to "gain" that extra 10 pounds, once you've accounted for possible water weight? Either it's BS or your scale is broken. Also, scales are not 100% fool proof anyway... Scales DO lie.
