I really BLEW IT TODAY!!!

don't do that, just start fresh. don't let it derail the rest of your diet.

Quite sure I blew it too the day before I started my diet.

That being said... it's not a good sign if you binge in your diet before you've even lost a lb.

Just get back on track tomorrow. Everyone has days like this. Totally your preference-- but I would re-think the fast. Tomorrow eat healthfully, drink a ton of water, get some extra exercise and keep on going! And try not to beat yourself up. We are all works in progress!

That has been my pattern for a few years now.

Well at least you're trying. When you're really ready, you'll stop binging. It took me 14 years to get there...

They taught me in weight watchers that if you ate a bad meal try to start over then and there. If you drop an egg on the floor do you say oh the hell with with it and slam the whole carton on the floor or the whole carton of milk. Maybe get some more excersie today and just remember.. you can start your day over at ANY moment. Good Luck

Bad days happen to everyone...watch your macros and add in steady exercise...you'll lose the weight. Gotta burn more than you take it....no secret to that, but the right kind of foods are key. Avoid anything processed, limit white foods (white rice, white bread, pasta etc...)

Bring it man! Focus on your goal.


Go clean our your pantry and toss out the chips. Make a commitment to yourself for the next 90 days and you will see a change you can be proud of.

everyday is a fresh start

worst advice ever.

if you don't learn from your past, you are doomed to repeat it. life isn't a board game (although there is a board game named Life). you can't just start a new game and have things go differently. you have to understand why you did what you did, and try and prevent it in the future.

are you to restrictive on your calories? do you deny yourself many favorite foods you've percieved as bad? there are no bad foods, only improper quantities. were you overly stressed out and threw caution to the wind?

think about what caused you to binge today. be mindful of when it can happen again, and think about what you can do to prevent it from happening again.

please don't fast tomorrow, although you might not be hungry for breakfast. you didn't binge today, you just fueled up for a big early morning work out.

well sorry you had a bad day.. tomorrow is a new day. start fresh. i agree that you really shouldnt fast.. please eat tomorrow.. eat what you are supposed to. dont let the binge get you down.. but try to fight the idea next time. good luck but hang on you will get there.

It happens! Figure out your triggers and find something else to do to deal with them. Emotional eating, especially when you're mad at yourself for eating... is never good. And fasting is never the answer to a binge. If you overate because you were stressed out or upset, sad, mad, happy... whatever!... you need to create a new relationship with food. Food is fuel, not a friend or a pacifier. Acknowledge those emotions, don't eat them away.

Definitely give your pantry a makeover. Start today - throw out anything you tend to binge on or have no control with. Plan your meals accordingly. You will lose the weight if you follow your calorie goals and don't be too hard on yourself.

I really blew it today. It was a bad day. So, since it was such a bad day I binged and ate over 3,500 calories!!!!!!!!! I BLEW IT!!
I hope I can fast the whole day tomorrow to make up for the binging! Like I said, it turned out to be a bad day. I need support people.

Only 3500 calories? lols ... that's not that much bro, calm down. Fresh new start tomorrow. What's done is done, do not punish yourself, you are human

Fasting tomorrow because you over-eat today is a form of punishing yourself and it's unhealthy. It will set you up with destructive behaviors concerning food and solidify "I am a good person when I don't eat/I am a bad person when I do eat" ideas, which will ultimately hinder your weight loss.

Log your binge, dust off, and start again tomorrow. We all have days where we blow it. You'll be okay.

Truth!

Also fasting will just set you up for another binge. It's a cycle you don't want to be in.

I agree! Please don't fast tomorrow. It will not accomplish anything for a long term commitment.

One of the main things is that you shouldn't beat yourself up for going over your calories for a day. Just get right back on the bandwagon tomorrow. You can do this because you're an amazing person!

I really like this point of view...Thanks for that!

Are you "blowing it" because you're removing things from your diet, are you going with the good food/bad food mentality? IF so, you may want to change that. Try to work some things that you like in each day. Also, are your calories set too low? Do you feel as though you're starving all the time? You might want to look at either upping your calories or maybe looking for more filling foods.

One thing to keep in mind, this isn't a quick fix kinda thing. It's going to take a while. Look more at the end game than what's going on right now and from day to day. I've gone over several times since I started, and it didn't stop me at all. You just log it, and move on. I went over on purpose several times, because life happens and with it are birthdays, holidays, family get togethers, and just stuff in general. It's going to happen.

Get a decent exercise routine down, make sure you're not trying to starve yourself or deprive yourself and allow the time needed to reach your goal.

Fasting tomorrow would just perpetuate a reward/punishment mindset about food. Just be more careful tomorrow to stick to your calorie goal. Don't let one bad day put you into a tailspin.
