    Forget it and move on. There is no point in beating yourself up on it. For the future, plan your breakfast the previous evening so you have something to look forward to that is decided when you are thinking straight rather than when you are tempted by other things and falling off your plan. You have the choice of what you eat and this journey is all about making the right choices

    Couldn't have said it better myself - forget it and move on. Just because you trashed the first part of the day doesn't mean you have to do it for the rest of the day. Look at it this way - better to have 1/2 a day goof up than the whole day. It's much easier to resolve. Good luck!

    If you're constantly fighting against the urge to overeat, it could be a sign that you're eating too few calories. But if it's a one off, then don't worry about it.

    My mom and I are both 5'2", and when my mom was very sick, she was down to your goal weight of 98 pounds. You obviously know yourself better than any of us do, but 98 pounds is considered underweight, even for someone our size.

    As to your question, I can't see your diary, but if you can't eat normal meals and still stay under your goal today, then try - if possible - taking the amount you're over and eating that much less the next day (or if you're over a lot, then divide it up over the next few day). In other words, if your goal is 1300, but you ate 1400 calories today, you're over by 100. Divide that in half (50) and just stay 50 calories under your goal the next two days. If you can work it off, that works, too. I don't get upset when I'm over if I'm normally at or under my goal; it'll balance out anyway. Good luck!

    I'd like to see your diet journal just to cover all our bases here. You are 18 years old, 5'2", 105 pounds, and want to get to 98 pounds so you will "like yourself" according to your profile. I see some issues here.
    Precisely why it would be great if other people checked before offering their advice. Good call. Not having an open journal and displaying minor disordered eating mentality (the "like yourself" part, and the beating yourself up over one breakfast) should raise a red flag. At 105 you're already at the bottom end of a healthy BMI. Being 98lb at 5'2 will put you in the underweight category.

    We all mess up on our journey's. Just stop right when you realize your messing up and get right back on track. Don't dwell on it, it will only make you want to eat more. Do some cardio and eat an healthy the rest of the day. At night eat something light, so your body will be able to break down your food easier, before you go to sleep. Good Luck and stay focused and positive. You can do this!!!

    This is why a program such as MFP if useful.. It makes you realize how many of your daily calories are used on just one binge eat.

    However, it is also good at showing you how you can have the occasional treat and work out or eat more sensibly at other times to make up for these binges.

    I like to enjoy my weekend a little more so often eat under my calories on one or two days during the week.

    I like nights out with wine followed by a few slices of pizza late Saturday night/sunday morning!

    As a medical professional, I have found that the Morning After Pill cures these type of slip ups. The FDA has now approved this for over the counter use. If that does not help, I ain't that baby's pappy!!!

    This is not necessarily true. She may be small boned. For someone who is small boned, 98 pounds and 5'2 is not too thin at all. I'm 5'8, and am 118. So from what you're saying, I must look sick thin. I beg to differ. Everyone is built differently.

    To OP: just move on.
