    I started on 1200 cals and was very unhappy and hungry. ive upped my calories to 1500 but weirdly i very rarely use them all and my average is 1200. For me it must be a psycological thing x

    Scream "FUUUUUKKKKKKKK" and lay in bed with fat kid basketball shorts on and play little big planet 2

    instead of in bed, play in plank position ;-) great core workout lol

    You probably have your goal set to lose 2lb a week, that's too much, set it to lose 1lb per week and eat back exercise calories then you wont need to binge

    Just forget that it ever happened, move on and try again. Be persistent and you can do anything!

    Stay focused. Don't over correct. Think long term- one bad day is insignificant. Keep on keepin' on.

    Do you log all your food? I noticed that the last days just before your hunger attack you weren't eating all your calories. That could explain the hunger, turning into a binge. As the others said, don't feel guilty, maybe log as much as you can of yesterdays food, and start fresh today. By the way, I realized a "silly" thing this morning. We are all eating at a deficit for calories. So, once you have logged in as much as you can of yesterday, compare it not to the MFP calories suggested, but to your real daily calorie requirement! That could help feeling less bad about the extra food. And, considering you are already eating at a loss, it would explain why eating so few calories in the last days trigged a serious hunger attack!

    Hope this helps :-)

    this is a great idea. If you eliminate the post binge guilt its much easier to get back on track. Its a long journey, you're not going to get it perfect everyday!

    Do nothing. Get back to your program but listen to all of those who said make sure you eat your calorie allowance plus all your exercise calories every day. I binge when I don't. My body gets too hungry and I back to old programming. And remember that there is no healthy, sustainable "quick and easy" way to lose weight. Just face it. It's a slow process but it's worth it.

    Pick myself up, dust myself off, start all over again!

    Log everything as best as you can remember. Sit for a while and acknowledge the calories, sugar, fat, etc. leave the guilt behind but carry the knowledge of the calories with you so next time you will remember and think to yourself, " if i do this again how far will i set myself back?"

    Get rid of binge worthy food from your cabinets. Stock up on fresh produce. you can eat a lot of produce for relatively fewer calories. Agree with the advice to NOT do anything crazy and to NOT restrict your calories. Realize what you have done. Do some soul searching as to why it happened and take steps to help it not happen again. Have your healthy food options available and ready so you don't have to wait when you get hungry.Often poor planning helps open the door to binging, too. I fall prey, myself to small binges still.

    Find what triggered you to binge in the first place, and avoid those triggers. For example, I have a wicked sweet tooth, I fit something "junky" in to my diet everyday and it avoids binging for me. I just eat that "junky" food at the end of the day(by leaving a slight calorie defecit) after a meal where I am mostly full anyway.
