I just binged :(

No, start fresh tomorrow. Maybe a 1200 calorie diet isn't for you if it causes you to binge. Whatever the set calorie limit is, it shouldn't be that difficult to follow, otherwise it could be too low.

haha WOW well first things first don't have that type of food in your house thats a lot of calories for so little of things! keep fruit around and maybe sugar free candies . Dont be too hard on yourself Ive done that plenty of times… just work out a little extra tomorrow !

It happens to everyone we need to accept that we are perfectly imperfect and only human as Jenny Craig says. Don't beat yourself up about it. ( I know this is easy to say but hard to do) Give yourself positive self talk, confessing it helps through this forum know there is no judgment because it will happen to the best of us. I suggest to just exercise and try to reflect on what triggered it? Did you eat becuase your were frustrated, lonely, anxious, or bored? Tomorrow is a new day and take control of what you will eat make a plan and pre plan your snacks and breakfast and lunch and dinner. Maybe set a day of the week where you can have a small treat that you may need to so the binges are not being caused from cutting something cold turkey and you can slowly faze it out of your life in small steps. Hope this helps just know your not alone I binged today and I had to confess to my brother and he just told me you will be fine. Good luck don't give up I really like this quote.
"successful people are not people who never failed they are people who never gave up"

Don't make yourself miserable. You goofed up, but start fresh tomorrow. We all make mistakes; allow yourself to be human. But, for heaven's sake, please don't starve yourself tomorrow.

do you normally eat your EXERCISE calories back , if no, PLEASE EAT THEM BACK!

Okay.. You might not wanna here this.. But you are basically starving yourself. The only way 1200 calories is gonna work is if you dont ever do anything.. Say.. Stay in bed all day.
Your body was craving more calories. It is telling you you need to eat more. And since you are trying to lose so little (<20) and are looking to more 'tone' your body, you really dont need that much of a deficit. Looking at your stats and assuming you workout about three days a week, you should be consuming at least 1700 calories. I would also suggest working on toning your body because being 5'8" and never being heavier than 120 sounds damn skinny to me.

I consume 1600 calories a day and eat back all my exercise calories. I am 5'5" and 196 lbs. My goal weight is 130. I lose about a lb a week. Sometimes less.. But slow is good.. Because then you run less of a chance of gaining that weight back.
(I am basing this data on things others have told me (who are way more weight loss savy than me)

Everyone slips up every once in a while. Dont sweat it to much.
Good luck!!

I second this. I started with a 1200 calorie allowance but I'm trying to lose 100 lbs for one year. Two months in and I didn't see any significant change as I was exercising and following the 1200 max.

Then I was reading a few message boards and found around 5 people (or more) all saying that they increased their allowance by a few hundred and that caused them to drop weight.

I increased to 1500 and in 2 weeks I lost 2 kilos (around 4.5 lbs) and I was thrilled. Mind you that setting your calorie higher doesn't mean you eat right up to your allowance. I did fine and actually never ate my exercise calories back. It might help you to add more. Try it for a few weeks and see what happens. If anything else, there's only 3 weeks to lose

Also don't get down on yourself. Having good self talk is very important on this journey. Accept your fault and move on. Start the new day fresh learn from yesterday's mistakes.

Good Luck!
