    Given your aim is "To be the skinniest person in the room"
    and, as you stated on another thread 'size 00', I am not surprised.
    With goals like that, I have little doubt you are most likely undereating.

    You say on another thread you eat 1,000 -- eat more on a daily basis and avoid future binges.

    Yup. Under-eating ALWAYS results in over-eating. If you right-size your calories, you won't binge anymore. Simple. :flowerforyou:

    You don't need to recover. Just breath. You are fine. Nothing bad is going to happen to you. One binge like this isn't even going to show up on the scale. Realize that you have a serious issue with food, and use that motivate you to get some help. You are young, and eating disorders are a progressive disease.

    Do you live with parents/friends? Is anyone else aware of what you're struggling with? If you are a college student, do you know about the mental health facilities available? You are putting your health at serious long-term risk with your goals and eating/thought patterns. If anyone is aware of what is going on, I hope they encourage you to get some help.

    the more I calories I set my goal out, the less I go all crazy eating all in sight.

    So Ithink if you try to eat a bit more, you will run into this much less.

    When you're trying to lose weight, it's important to avoid all-or-nothing thinking. Binging doesn’t mean you’ve blown your diet. Just make sure you don't use it as an excuse to slide into terrible habits that ruin the progress you're trying to make. Just don't let one "bad" choice be the excuse for the next and the next in a slippery slope to failure.

    You don't drown because you fall in the water. You only drown if you STAY in the water. You fell in...now just get back out and dry off.

    You're fine. And if binge eating is a recurrent problem for you, there are some good helpful books as well as good professional counselors who can help!

    Look at it this way: Five years from now, you probably won't even remember tonight. In the grander scheme of your life, THIS does not matter. This doesn't mean you're "bad" (or ugly or undisciplined or dumb or anything else). You're fine. You're better than fine. You are capable and smart and lovely in a million ways.

    Whatever you do, don't panic or step on the scales tomorrow. The worst thing you can do is step on the scale after a binge. I would wait a week or so. Drink some lemon water then go to sleep. Wake up tomorrow and move forward. It's never too late to start over or learn from your mistakes. Everything is going to be okay.

    It's a cycle, restricting and binging and feeling awful, and from experience, I promise you it doesn't get better from here. Stop now and eat healthy. You'll have almost the exact same body if you eat balanced super healthy meals and work out as if you restrict, but there are two benefits 1. you won't be skinny-fat (flabby) afterwards, everything will be toned 2. you don't die of malnutrition. It's a better world.

    Repeat what u ate 3-4 times a day.

    :flowerforyou:
    And enjoy the comments, they are only telling you the truth, no one wants to see you suffer.

    but don't binge on those truffles like that.
    They are loaded with carbs and fat.
    Very unhealthy to eat that many.
    I hope you will take what u need from this post, and continue striving for your ultimate health

    You binge and "want to die", you want to be the "skinniest person on the room", it sounds like an ED to me.
    You need to talk to a specialist. http://www.anad.org/

    Undereating for long periods of time makes you prone to binging.

    Put on some comfy clothes, relax and watch a movie or listen to some music, just keep your mind off of it and let your food digest and you'll feel better! Drink lots of water tomorrow and don't try to over-restrict to make up for today, just eat normally so you don't get stuck in a cycle of binging and restricting.

    I know you feel terrible now, but you'll feel better in a few hours. Try not to dwell on it :flowerforyou:

    I don't know how many calories that is, but the estimate in my head seems reasonable. You need to eat to live, my dear. Feed your body every day and you may avoid this in the future

    Analyze why you did it and use that to stop from doing it next time. All you can do is look forward and concentrate on being clean in the future. As I type this I am drinking a Diet Coke, and I feel like that is evil cheating. :(
