I ate probably more than half a box of chocolate mini wheats, half a box of Special K oats and honey, and half a bowl of chocolate toast crunch and now I feel like I'm gonna die. I'm a very petite person, five feet tall and around 107 pounds, and I've been eating with a goal of 1200 calories but have been under a LOT.

So the story is that like two hours after lunch I was a little hungry. I noticed I've been under my iron a lot so I decided to look for foods that are high in iron. I check my cereal pantry and saw chocolate frosted mini wheats with 90% daily iron, score! So I had a cup... Then another... Then the rest of the box. I wasn't hungry anymore but then I saw my favorite cereal Special K Oats and Honey. I've been low on my calories a lot so I decided a little more cereal won't hurt! I mean people say that having little cheats help boost your metabolism. Then I ate the rest of this box with milk and then started on a bowl of chocolate toast crunch. I started to feel sick so I dumped it down the toilet and tried to drink a glass of water. I guess I'm not cut out for having cheat meals haha!
I've never ate this much before and my stomach looks like it's about to explode(it feels like it too).

I started this lifestyle to lose a few astetic pounds and mostly eat healthy and I have been doing really well but holy crap I just made the worst decision of my life. My stomach feels like it's full of knives and I can't even make myself puke it up due to a very hard to activate gag reflex. Idk how to log this and idk if I'll be able to eat dinner, but I DO know that I will never eat this much again!
Do you have any advice on how to handle overeating pains?

    Please do not make yourself throw up...that is a very dangerous and addicting habit to get into!!

    Put on loose fitting clothing, sit or lie down and take slow deep breaths. Try to relax, put on some soothing music or a tv show you like that isn't too intense.

    This feeling will pass. You are not the only one this has happened to! It's happened to me a lot!

    Sometimes taking a slow walk helps for me, or just lying on the couch, depend on how bloated you feel. Tomorrow it will be better.

    Walk around to help digest food. You can also try squeezed lemon in water (no sugar).

    Your problem isn't that you ate too much cereal. It's that you weigh 107 lbs, your tickers says you lost 6 lbs. and have 11 lbs. to go. Does that mean your goal weight is 96 lbs.? You are starving yourself on a 1200 calorie diet. This is why you binged on cereal. That you said overeating cereal is "the worst decision I made in my life" definitely shows a loss of perspective. You have another post about eating 800 calories and feeling too full. From what I'm seeing, you may be at risk of developing and eating disorder.

    Half a box of mini-wheats? I really hope you like your bathroom decor and have a good book to read. Hopefully it, um, passes quickly and you feel better soon.

    Wait it out and then begin to fix your relationship with food.

    Just subtract the extra calories today from tomorrow.

    I always feel bad when I net over 800, which I know is bad but for some reason I just can't deal with having my calories be so high. Often I'm tired and I feel better when my breakfast is bigger, but I don't want to eat too much in case of last minute dinner plans. I think I'm getting a little obsessed. I started this to get healthy and less of a belly pudge, but now it seems like the only thing I think about. I try to go out with my friend in between meals or not at all so I don't have to guess my calories. I look a lot better so I don't want to stop counting calories. I can't buy all of the "health foods" or low calorie foods because they're expensive and my family eats normal and it's frustrating. I always eat different than my family because they eat high calorie foods like spaghetti or hamburgers. My one weakness is sweet stuff, I eat a bunch of little healthy microwave cookies and stuff until I eat something not sweet and I hate myself for it. I guess I just want to know how you guys do this without feeling constantly disappointed with yourself.

    OP, this is from another thread you started the other day. This is why you over did it today. If you restrict yourself to this extreme you will fall hard. Please find a therapist and get a better relationship with food. There is nothing wrong with a hamburger or spaghetti or the occasional treat.

    I agree with this. Hamburgers made at home aren't that bad for you anyway. Lots of protien if you don't like the buns have it in a wrap. Even spaghetti in moderation isn't that bad.
