    Yesterdays eating is not your only problem. Looking back at your logging for the month of August; you were under your daily calorie goal 10 days and over your calories 13 times.

    Without even taking yesterdays totals into consideration you are over 9329 calories in just 22 days. If you take yesterdays calories into account it would be an 18,235 calorie surplus so far for this month.

    I don't know how this is working for you.

    Well i intentionally calorie cycle, so i have higher cal days when i weight lift, and lower cal days when i don't. I also don't log exercise, but keep track of my activity with a v800. I've actually managed avg about 3200 cals out and 2150 in every day over the last month, so i am running a 1k a day deficit in the last month and lost about 20lbs. I think there is a little more to meal timing than it gets credit for?

    That right there is a problem. Weight loss consideration aside. Drinking to that extent and being ok with where you are planning ahead is a serious problem. You may want to agree with me or not but regardless, that's a drinking problem. You will pay for that in the long run.

    Actually i don't really consider it a drinking problem, i have no trouble drinking...it's more of a stopping problem with me... :-)

    If 1 day was the measure of failure, then there wouldn't be such things as parties.:laugh:

    Anytime I go to the movies I'll normally eat 2 hot dogs, a nachos, a small popcorn and a box of Milk Duds. And still eat dinner.

    i had to stop going to movies cause i would eat over 2000 cals of candy in less than 2 hours EVERY TIME. i would buy the candy from wal-mart, and the boxes are pretty big, and i would eat until sick, uggghhh movies and candy = bad memories

    I am a 5'2'' girl and I've done days like that. Lots of them, actually.
    The tortilla chips sent chills down my spine. I'd have a "typical day" for me - about 2500-3000 calories. Then my husband would go to work at night and I'd eat an entire bag of tostitos and creamy spinach dip (1000 + 650) and polish it off with a 6 pack of bud light (660) for a grand total of: 5310. And that's just one of my favorite binge days.
    Of course, I'm recovering from binge eating disorder, so maybe that's why I'm not as shocked.
    Yes, the scale will likely go up from it.
    Decide where you want to go from here. And move on.

    You know, I really wonder about it since I am a regular overeater/binge eating and never gained as quickly as I might have expected. However, that is definitely a lot of food in one day. If you eat like that or close to that with any regularity, I'd really suggest getting to the bottom of why. What messages are you giving yourself about eating?

    I wanted to add, it is awesome that you logged this!! Personally, it has been very hard for me to log overeating and I think avoidance of what is really going on is what keeps us stuck.

    You consumed nearly 11,000 calories and only managed to get 57 grams of fiber and 183 grams of protein? :/

    i'm actually allergic to the GHT found in most light beers, which is why i drink Miller LITE! And it not only tastes great, but it's less filling too. And it has almost a g of protein in every can. Why would anyone drink anything else?

    Hey, i am making sure to hit my 1g pro per lb lbm, and thank goodness for avocados, or the fiber would be waaaay less!

    When i stopped logging (and exercising) for 3 months i put on about 40 lbs, so i know how important logging is, for measurement and for accountability!

    And that would be considered a "normal" cheat day, not 9000 calories over in one day...

    Haha, you've certainly cheered up my day, lol. Funnily enough it reminds me of certain weekends in my hedonistic past, and I wondered why I was gaining weight! :)
