Binged, but not the end of the world.

in Motivation and Support
I was arguing with my mom over something silly. It stressed me out. On top of all the packing for college and things I need to do today, I kept circling the fridge looking for a way to feel better. I made a big bowl of spaghetti and just ate it. I didn't even make time to sit down. I shoved it down my throat standing by the stove then went to my room to feel sorry for myself. The weird thing is, I didn't want to stop there. I wanted to have a bowl of cereal, a cupcake and who knows what else I might find in the kitchen. But I didn't. I stopped at the bowl of spaghetti and went to my room. I got onto myfitnesspal and now I am motivated to make up for the spaghetti by going for a jog. I can control what I eat and what I do with my body. I just have to fight for it.

    You will be ok I am sure of it. Good job at not eating more. Exercise is a great way to relieve stress, sometimes when I am really mad at someone I have the BEST workouts!

    Don't feel bad. Yesterday I ate at Cheesecake Factory (Factory burrito, Thai lettuce wraps and bread) then for dinner I ate at Dave and Buster's (bacon wrapped medallions and shrimp along with spinach dip appetizer) and was WAY OVER my calorie goal by about 1000. It happens.

    Eating a bowl of spaghetti is hardly "binging" :P

    I went over by 1500 yesterday -- willingly -- between wine and pizza. I have a cheat meal every week that goes over by 1500 at least. I'm still dropping 1 kg (around 2 pounds) a week. :) No fretting. As long as you make the rest of your days great, one meal to eat like a queen always makes me feel ready for the coming week.

    Good job on controlling the emotional eating, though!

    You will be just fine! Take it one day at a time, actually....one meal at a time! I just ate a sausage Mcmuffin and then read your post.....wow, do I feel bad!! So, I will make a better decision at lunch time and have a salad with a light dressing.
    Thank you!
    Now, try and go for a jog or walk and make a better choice on your next dish!! I will!

    I ate chicken tenders, fries, BBQ sauce, and had a small bowl of blueberry ice cream yesterday night. I went on the scale. I gained nothing! I'm not endorsing to do this daily, but sometimes, it is good for the soul haha.
