    Accept that it happen, you made some so-so choices and MOVE ON. You have to turn that page. Make better choices at the next meal, and so on. No one is 100% perfect on this journey.

    tomorrow is a new day.

    what helps for me is to not even have my trigger foods in the house and if i do have them they aren't in any quantities where i can do damage. so instead of buying a huge bag of chips i'll buy a 99 cent bag.

    it's kind of hard to overeat things if you're not buying them.


    This! For me if I don't have a lot of this kind of stuff in the house it much easier! Eating healthy is very important but have a little chocolate if you can fit it in your calories. It is never too late!!! You can do this! You have the power to be stronger than a crazy craving! Don't give up on yourself! You are worth it! Good luck! :flowerforyou:

    Its over. Its a new day. One day is not a lifetime. Somebody told me a long time ago, before, I do something that will make me feel lousy, not matter what it is,,,,,,,tell somebody about it, before doing it. There was a little saying that went with it. **Stop** (what you are going to do) **Look** ( for a friends number or in my case I would hit MFP) and then **Listen** (to what others have to say) Hang in there.

    There's a great group on MFP called "binge eating support group." I like it because it has a monthly challenge where you keep track of binge days. It motivates me.

    Let it go and move on. I ate 3000-4000 cals each day 4 days in a row at Christmas and still recorded a loss that week. It's one day. Tomorrow is another day, start fresh.

    It is never ever too late! You can always start again the next morning. First just remove all the bad food from your house and keep it packed with all healthy stuff. lots and lots of fruits in your fridge. So whenever you feel like snacking on something you won't get tempted by junk food. If you ever feel like snacking on chips because believe me I LOVE chips and chocolate, I say try out the Kellogg's cracker chips. 27 chips for only 110 cal. I go to those whenever I need a good crunch. Just don't pick them straight from the box...you'll get tempted to eat more and more. Get little sandwich bags and divide the 27 chips right when you open the box. Thats really helped me from eating the whole box in one sitting. Just remember you can always start with a new day and try even harder to keep away from junk food. If you don't surround yourself with junk food it'll make it harder for you to get a hold on it. And whenever you feel tempted try to remember why you wanted to start eating healthy. Think about where you will be in just a few months if you don't let the temptation get to you. =)

    It doesn't matter when this was posted! This person might still feel like binging even to this day and could always use support and motivation. And what does it matter to you if this was her first post or not. Take your negativity with you cause its not needed here!

    You mentioned your lunch was where things took a turn, so maybe just take the lesson that you do better with your regular lunch and move on. There's nothing that can be done to undo today's difficulties, but you can use the experience to avoid having another binge down the road.

    If you're persistent about identifying where things took a wrong turn, you'll eventually find it happening les and less often or not at all. Hang in there!

    It happened you cannot take it away but you can make sure it doesnt happen again I do not have so called bad foods in the house so I cannot eat them if I get the urge because they are not there :-)
    Good luck with your journey :flowerforyou:

    Today I was just feeling really crappy about myself and SO HUNGRY! I only ate small fruit salad for lunch which I believe was the beginning of my downfall. I usually eat something full of protein like eggs or tuna with salad but today I wasnt able to buy this stuff.

    So tonight I've eaten a good healthy dinner which then turned into:

    2 chocolate bars
    8 fun size twix
    4 small chocolate cakes (500kjs each)

    I feel so sick and so disgusted with myself, this is the second time this week I have binged this badly. It really scares me because I know that I am on a road to becoming really obese and not being able to control my eating.
    I NEED to get back to the gym and start eating right again but I'm feeling like it's too late :/

    So I'm about to finsh off a jar of spinach dip and a bag of chips and I see a cadbury cream egg in my future tonight too.. AND I've eaten dinner already! As long as you get back on track tomorrow and keep the binges few and far between, you'll be ok! I promise!

    The OP hasn't logged any food or posted anything on the forums since May 2012, so nothing anyone said in here in March 2012 helped her, and nothing anyone says in here in March 2013 is going to help her either..

    There are literally THOUSANDS of posts on this forum, from people who are here NOW and want help NOW - there's no point digging up old posts that were long dead and trying to help those who appear to have already given up.

    You want to be positive and supportive, and that's fine. But be positive where it's actually going to make a difference.
