Is today considered a binge?

OK, WOW!!
Now pick yourself up, dust off your pants .
Tomorrow is a new day.
Forgive yourself for that mistake and move on.
:drinker: :flowerforyou:

It's just one day. Get back to it tomorrow! You said it yourself, you now feel like crap. Theres your answer.

One day, no biggie. I wouldn't recommend continuing to eat like this though...

hang in there, it happens... remember how well you ARE doing.. this is just a glitch in the road...great job on the walk though!!

This is a binge, but it's only one day out of your life. Beating yourself up about it will most likely not benefit you. I think the fact that you went 11 months without a binge is something you should be proud of. Maybe you can learn something about yourself from this experience. Hang in there

Someone once told me, you just tripped on a step, you didn't throw yourself down the flight of stairs. This is one step. I commend you for sharing and tracking. I notice that when I get stressed, I do the same thing. My key is tracking, then I always ask myself is it really work it? Remember, nothing tastes as good as healthy feels.

WOW!

Thanks everyone!

I did a serious 11.6 mile walk (1147 calories). I know it did not make up the difference but it helped me think and clear my head so I am feeling a lot better. I know for sure I will not be eating out for a bit!

IF I were you.. I wouldn't eat anything tomorrow... i know its unhealthy but one day of fasting would not do anything... think about it.
if you ate around ur weight maintenance, I wouldn't say anything because eating at weight maintenance would just delay your weight loss... but damn.. you went TWICE as much as you were supposed to eat..thats cancelling your previous deficits..

like today, I went over by 1000 calories... my everyday net is 1200 so I'm eating just a breakfast tomorrow and then I'm not going to eat at all..

Ignore the above advice, that is heading towards the road called Eating Disorder.
You logged it, you know what happened. Move on, if you get hung up on stuff like this it will derail you.

Yes. So you overate? It's fine you had a good workout besides the bindge. As long as you don't do that often you will be ok. You were honest with yourself and logged it down. Start over tomorrow, and keep up the water.

O.O wow..... you have an amazing appetite. I think I would have puked if I attempted that. And yes, that is most definitely a binge at least by my standards. Wow. This makes my binges look like such insignificant little blips. When I binge its like 2700 calories. I think the issue is that it was clearly a special day. I mean, you got take out and take out food is special day food. If this is not a normal thing and you adjust the calories you eat during the rest of the week I am sure its gonna be fine. Its ok to binge on special days.

Most terrible advice I'vd seen in a while. Lady you need to be thumped on the forehead =/ You "know it's unhealthy" but you're going to do it anyway? And suggest a complete stranger - one for all you know may have medical conditions that WOULD cause harm - do it too?

Take a chill pill. You're not racing to a finish line. She cancelled out her deficit...so what? She doesn't lose weight this week perhaps? THE HORROR! Or maybe she could just pick herself up and lose the weight later.

Sorry for the slight derail of topic, OP! That was one heck of a binge but good in you for logging it! That sodium will probably be a killer for a few days but it's like a few other people said: Dust off and keep your chin up =D

I would consider that a binge, but in saying that everyones perception of a binge is different. Dust yourself off and get back on the wagon. Everyone has these days, so don't worry. Just make sure tomorrow you drink a lot of water to rid that sodium.

I have had more days where I have been over that much, than I can count, though mine were with cake, cookies, doughnuts, chocolate and ice cream, rather than that sort of food. I have managed to pretty much balance it out as long as it is not a daily thing. I know my reasons for it are emotional, and due to my need to sometimes totally release control over myself, so I suggest just looking at the reasons this one happened, celebrating how long you went without binging(which is pretty amazing!) and carrying on, business as usual. I mean, I imagine most humans, whether on mfp or not, have days like this anyway. But they are just the occasional day, and not days in a row. So get back on track, don't worry about 'making it up', and pass it off as one of those days.

Next month would have been exactly one year of being binge free. Now I feel like crap and totally helpless, like there is no one that I can call or share this with. I was doing so well and for some reason this week I have been off my game. I do not know what to do, do I continue eating like this or attempt to pull myself up by the bootstraps?



By the way I had 13 glasses of water and a 769 calorie workout.

I would hate to see your sodium count.

drink enough water and it doesn't matter buddy
