Nothing apart from remember tomorrow is another day, and get back on track to where you want to be.
Good luck, one slip up is not the end of the world x

It is just a case of accepting it happened and moving on. Your diet wont get derailed by one binge just make good decisions for the rest of the day and don't let it turn into an entire day of badness.

It happens just let it go and move on. So long as you don't use it as an excuse to keep overeating, it's all good. :flowerforyou:

Binge? So what! Get back on track! If you have the time or energy, add another workout.
Binges happen. The goal is to learn why and create methods for preventing them in the future. Analyze what happened. What emotions were you feeling? What did you eat and why did it call to you? Once you learn all this, they'll happen less frequently. Use this as an opportunity to learn about yourself! There is nothing wrong with you for doing it, the only thing you can do wrong is to not learn from it!
Cheer up, you'll do better next time! No time like the present to begin anew!

I had a huge binge/cheat day on Friday, then got right back on the counting yesterday. This morning I had lost two pounds. A binge every now and then isn't going to kill your goal. Just move on and don't beat yourself up over it.

^^THIS^^ It works. I binge/cheat/spike on Saturdays and I lose weight. You'll be ok. Just get back on the program today.

I agree with the above, and what do you class as a binge as I am sure all our binges are different and to someone else they may not even be classed as a binge!

just know that tomorrow is a new day. Wait an hour or so for your food to settle and then do a work out. Try to run a little or do another form of cardio. Then drink two glasses of water and dont eat until tomorrow.

Accept it and remember how hard it is to say " I just had a massive binge ".

A step backwards won't matter that much in the long run. this isn't a race - it's a journey.

dont beat yourself up, just utilise the calories you consumed, go for a run, then do some sit ups and press ups or tricep dips then you wont feel so guilty!!!

SO DID I. WORST FEELING EVER. and all i want right now is more sugar. more more more I think I'm addicted...

Scorpioangel

Just pick up where you left off with clean eating and go strong

Congrats on your Spike Day Don't sweat it. A large feed every now and then helps your hormonal balance when you're on a calorie deficit for a while.

OMG! I did the same thing yesterday. I usually cook and prepare meals for work, but yesterday I forgot to bring my own lunch to work and ended up eating junk (almost 2000 calories). It happens to everyone. I'm just moving forward and continue with my journey.

I love this quote: Saying, "Oh I've already ruined my good eating today so I'll just eat crap." Is like saying "Oh I dropped my phone on the floor, I'll just smash it until it breaks."

There's nothing you can do except get back on track. Most of us have the occasional binge (some regularly). Do some cardio, and have a great day tomorrow.

Let it go and move on. Don't restrict your calories for tomorrow to make up for today and don't go out running 20 miles to burn off the binge. Tomorrow is a new day. Just focus on being healthy.

I too binged last night. I had a medium heath blizzard form DQ. There is not one in the town where i live so I rarely have one. It was 920 calories and I was like OMG, but instead of panicing I exercised! Just dont let one bad day turn into two days, or a week, or a month!

perpetuallyfit

I binged big time last night. I was at a party and I just ate. And boy it felt good!! Today I am back on track. Counting calories..LOL! We should be thankful we aren't eating the way we did before and because of which we are in this mess . We are doing good and one cheat day shouldn't derail our weight loss journey. :flowerforyou:

kbmnurse

Get over it. Tomorrow is a new day. I have treated myself on and off all weekend. Monday totally back on.


enjoy

I like that saying! I always say it's like " I ran over a nail and got a flat tire, so I better go run over 3 more so they'll all be flat."

To the OP: if real, legitimate binges are a deterring factor in your weight loss, try to address the underlying cause of WHY you do it. Stress, boredom, anger, sadness, etc. Then you can work on the issue that triggers binges

It happens to everyone!
As a matter of fact it happened to me yesterday! I had a WHOLE small pizza! Ridiculous. But you know what? I've been doing pretty well these past few weeks, and I'm proud of myself for putting so much effort into being healthier. So don't feel bad, we ALL need a break from these restrictive diets we're all trying to achieve. You need to relax a bit sometimes, it's HEALTHY to eat too much once in a while. It's good for the soul and makes you feel a little better. Cause food is a comfort. So enjoy it, and keep going!

Just had a massive binge and don't really know what to do know!

Me too I feel so crappy right now!! Reading the comments on here and it really does show that it happens to everyone and the fact we feel super guilty is a good sign. Im heading to the gym tomorrow and going to work extra hard and eat super clean. My weekends are the worst and I really need to get out of this habit as I am ruining my weight loss and my week of hard work.

Chin up, tomorrow is a new day. Think of today as a treat day and move on, just dont stay down. Hope you feel better xx

Fitfaery

Well done for being human... xx We all do it every now and then. Back on track tomorrow :happy: xx

Don't panic!
Often one binge doesn't affect your weekly weigh-in, providing you get right back on track & carry on being 'good' - in fact there have been times when a one-off scoff can actually HELP your weight-loss as it gives your metabolism a bit of a boost.
It's done. Learn from it (remember how bad you feel at this very moment) & perhaps next time you're faced with the same temptations you might not be so eager to repeat it.
You're going to be ok

I can join the club today. I just returned with friends from IHOP having 2 pancakes with syrup,2 scrambled eggs and 4 turkey sausages. I just tallied the calories and didn't do as bad as I thought. I am glad I passed on the orange juice and extra syrup. We went to Best Buys and I found two workout DVDs to try out. Won't beat myself up.

Totally right girl! agreed! .... gotta just move on. We can't avoid food and its good to indulge at least once a week (see the message board about Dr.Oz and fat-er-day)

Just stop and breathe. Beating yourself up won't do you any good- get back on track RIGHT NOW!!! Make sure the rest of your day is packed with lots of veggies and water

lublue

Just accept you did it, remember to be extra strict the rest of the week to make up for it, and get back on track right now, don't wait for tomorrow

msjones2831

Don't beat up yourself too bad. It happens. Start over NOW!!! From this minute on make up your mind to eat healthy for the rest of the day and so on.

Truth be told one thing I'm learning is that a oops every now and then really doesn't much, but when it becomes a habit you will see the difference on the scale. But it is a slippery slope so be careful.
