MASSIVE WEEKEND BINGE!!! PLS HELP

The weekend will be over in a couple of hours...and then you get a 'DO OVER" Tomorrow... Stay strong and carry on!!!

Firstly, stop beating yourself up! That's an ORDER!

You have had a stressful few days and it is not surprising if your eating doesn't go to plan or even goes horribly wrong.

You won't put weight on for one day's binge. If you ask anyone on here who weigh themselves daily, they will tell you that their weight fluctuates up to 5lbs in either direction on any given day. Your body doesn't lose weight or put it on over the course of one day's over or under-eating, but over the course of a week or a month.

So dust yourself down and try again tomorrow. You will have bad days again in the future. How do I know that? That's because we are human/normal/not perfect. Its how you react to the situation.

In the meantime, be kind to yourself while you are grieving. Speak to a counsellor again, if you need to. And if you can, try speaking to your boss about your personal situation - see if they can reduce the pressure that is on you for a while.

Take care xxx

Dude seriously, been there. The worst part, I logged it and saw how much it cost me. The only thing you can do is start off the next day the best way possible. Work hard and eat healthy. Make sure you drink lots of water to flush the excess bad stuff out quick. And know that there are obviously lots of people who care about you and want you to keep on your healthy path

STOP beating yourself up! You ARE human and you are responding to the environment that you are in right now, just like we all do. I guarantee you that the sun will raise again tomorrow and a new day will begin. Start fresh and new tomorrow

Like the others said, tomorrow is a new day and you'll get back on track, no problem. You don't have a whole lot to lose overall, so just be patient and treat your body right. Setting MFP to 1lb or even 0.5lb per week is a great way to go, and then the MFP setting is designed for you to eat back any exercise calories and still lose weight. Depriving yourself of proper fuel for your workouts might set you up for more binging later. You can do this.

I'm pretty much going to tell you the same thing as everyone else.

We all have days where we go over our calorie intake and that's not bad. You're going to have those days. I've had those days before too. Some days you just don't want to be restricted because of various reasons and that's fine. As long as you don't make it a habit. Honestly, one day (or one weekend, in this case) is not going to affect you that much in the long run anyway and tomorrow is a new day and the beginning of a new week, so forget about the past and just focus on the future.

just keep on keepin on!! I had a WEEK of binge eating- gained a little bit of weight, but DONT sweat it... just keep trying!!!!

Get in to a trusted counselor if you can. Let them know you're trying to lose. I may have misunderstood your post, so correct me if I did please. It sounds like you are at 140, and you like to be there, and that is even lower than 'they' want you to be. So do you really need to lose right now? What about focusing on fitness (i.e. building strength, bone density, etc.) and staying off the scale for a while? As someone who is close to a person struggling with ED, I know it is important to keep in touch with your counselor, to keep doing the mental work of recovery, and to forgive yourself for mistakes. Mistakes aren't fatal, they aren't the end, and you will not die alone in a gutter (which is my brain's initial reaction to all failures). You'll wake up tomorrow strong, smart, and capable of success!

I don't think you should be using MFP. You aren't well enough for it. Just focus on eating regularly every day.

Throw away your scales.

oh my gosh! Stop stop stop beating yourself up! -- make an effort to ---- ACTIVELY BLOCK ---- any thoughts or memories or "ruminations" about your weekend. It's fine. It's over. One day of binging isn't the end, and you were so low. You have a lot of reasons to be low . . . . this is not something to be so hard on yourself about! Tomorrow is a new day, and you should definitely take it slow. NO MORE than 1 lb. a week -- if you eat too few calories, you're likely to binge again --- for me, I don't mind an occasional binge, but if you're the kind of person who's going to get depressed about it, then you'd better not set yourself up for it: eating way too few calories is definitely going to catch up with you and you're one day going to wake up and crave food beyond what you need, and because of some stress or other, you're not going to have the willpower to stop. That's natural. So definitely take it SLOW. I do mean it: today/ this weekend is over and it's not all lost. You're alive, the week hopefully will be better, and life is good. so ACTIVELY BLOCK your ruminations and don't let yourself spiral down into such negativity! I recommend you go to reddit, if you're an animal lover, and browse "aww" -- it's got photo after photo of cute animals. Wasting time here in the evening always perks me up. Hugs, - M

edit: per a previous poster's comment, I didn't read carefully enough --- it looks like you are already underweight: you're probably binging in part, again, because you've taken in too few calories. Once you reach a normal-weight bmi, you will find yourself eating more than you were on the "losing weight" plan. You should recalculate your calories -- they probably need to go up just a little, actually!
