Emotional binge took over last night...

You can easily salt flush by just drinking more water the next day AND eat like a normal person.

Come on... not eating will just make you f****** miserable and increase your chances of binging again. Stop these bad habits of punishing yourself improperly.

As I said, it's a new day today and just remember how you feel now after your binge and maybe next time you don't binge. If you feel that what you are doing with your weight loss is working, just keep doing what you are doing and if you "slipp" just do some extra walks or what ever excercise that works for you :happy:

You guys are right... I shouldnt fast...Thank you for your input! Im just hating myself today and feel like I dont deserve to eat.... also I will make my diary public if your interested

I had a couple days of binge eating, and my daily totals will have been around 5000-6000 calories.
It is something that happens to me every 3-4 weeks before I snap back on track. I can totally relate to the self loathing and the sense of not deserving to eat, but you do deserve to eat. Maybe start looking at why you hate yourself for having a blowout day, and nurturing yourself in other ways, and accepting that you have the right to feel a bit down about valentines day, and that you chose food to comfort yourself. A lot of people do, so you are most certainly not alone and there are worse things to use than food.

I simply get back to my exercise as soon as I can(binging tends to leave me not wanting to do much of anything) and the rest falls into place thereafter. I make sure I follow up with plenty of vegetables and protein as let's face it, the foods most tend to binge on are not really very kind to the body. Also, bear in mind, the most weight you will have gained is 1/2 Ib and I doubt that will happen either because the body is quite good at dealing with the odd splurge.

There is a binge eating support group here you might want to join also, that has monthly binge challenges where you log your success days and your binge days. It is a very friendly group, and very active. Link below.

I was looking through your diary and it seems you were under your calorie goal by several hundred for the previous days. This may have something to do with your binge. You had some high calorie burns too!

Just eat healthy today and drink your water. Today is a new day!:flowerforyou:

You eat way under your goal on most days and exercise very hard. The exercise is great but if you eat at too low a deficit then your body will compensate. Like holding your breath too long and you gasp for air. I used to think my binges were a sign of my weakness but once I learned to eat enough and try not to lose everything all at once, my binge urges haves subsided and I've learned to recognize them as my body correcting my poor (too low) choices. Be patient and consistent as been the best formula for me.

Keep up the focus and learn to embrace how your body actually works instead of making it contort itself to your preconceptions. Ur bodies are fantastic machines if driven smartly.

I truly believe Valentine's Day was invented by card companies and holier-than-thous to make singles feel guilty, worthless and hopeless. I spent many lonely VDs after a marriage that never recognized my presence or value anyway. Now I have my forever valentine and we don't need some artificial nonsense to declare our love. So stop beating yourself up - grab some single girlfriends, make up a big fruit salad with various yummy toppings (like lemon yogurt), get some cheap 'n' cheerful champers and have an "Un-Valentine's Day".

I binge almost on a regular basis, and it's all emotional. The trick is to admit it and get right back on track. It's NEVER too late - for anything.

I frequently binge mostly carbs with cake being my favorite. ! will down anywhere from 3500-7500 cals in one sitting than tell myself its only a 2lb wt gain and I can cut cals and workout harder all week and beat myself up for days after(Thats not including the rest of the stuff I"ve eaten or that I' ve binged 2 or 3 times in one day) Once in a while its going to happen and we have to move on.tomorrow is a new day.Some times I tell myself it was a carb up or I must have needed the extra cals for a jolt to the metabolism lol. Dust your self off and keep moving toward your goal. Best to you.:flowerforyou:

It happens. Move on.

I was in the same boat last night. I did not log the three donuts I ate. It happens.
Today I had a nice big breakfast and will have a healthy salad with beans tonight. No soda or tea. And I will go to the gym.
Thank God we didn't "get rid of it" or something equally unhealthy. We just over ate and will make up for it today. No biggie,right? Right!

Been here many times! I agree with all the comments. Its good that you recorded it- i tend not to, that way it never happened! One day at a time i say and a little slip up happens to everyone now and then. Its how you deal with it after that matters.

Great advice, Alienrite!
