Worst binge day....

Worst binge day was just last week (my first cheat day). Just really needed a mental health day and boyfriend suggested eating anything I like to get it all out of my system.

Had a frosted gingerbread cookie after breakfast, ate a slice of bianca pizza for lunch, bought a chocolate at Laura Secord, had a minibon before dinner, okonomiyaki for dinner (fish pancake), and ice cream with bananas and maple syrup for dessert.

I have an insulin problem by the way so I'm surprised I'm alive after that XD. Told myself I could eat whatever I want but that if I wanted it I had to walk to it (no subway!)..so I offset the calories just a little with about 3 hours of walking.

I usually pretty bad overseas. I was just in Bangkok and on one day we had the following

Breakfast- fried chicken from a street vendor, salted caramel frappe from Starbucks. (Seriously I'm glad I can't get those here because I would never stop drinking them)

Elevensies?- a chocolate chilli donut from a bakery

Lunch- an EIGHT course meal at Tokyu.

Afternoon- Fondue for 2 at Swensens

Later Afternoon- Popcorn and M&MS at the cinema

Dinner- Cornbread, Wings, Popcorn Shrimp, Red beans and Rice AND a chocolate brownie at a Cajun/Creole place

Later- ALL of the beer, Lime Margaritas and bar nuts.


And I'm totally fine. As long as you get back on the horse there's only so much damage you can do. You can't lose it all in one day, you won't gain it back either.

OH AND I also shared a bucket sized vodka and watermelon with a Thai drag queen called Josephine while we sang Karaoke. We did a rousing duet of Lying Eyes by the Eagles. True Story.

'twas.

Anyone ever have these moments? I felt so horrible yesterday, I hate like a quarter of a box of "pop ems", which is donut holes my manager brought me, a PB&J sandwich, a turkey & cheese sandwich from 7-11, some whipped cream, and cream cheese, 4 slices of pizza, it felt like mayhem!!! I did better today, waaaayyyyyy better, BUT I felt so horrible....I just felt non-stop hungry went to the bathroom 2ce, and had just started my TOM after almost not having it for 5 months! Not making excuses, just felt like I wrecked my whole week!

What was your worst binge?

How do you help control them? Like once I week I have to seriously restrain myself because I just feel crazy hungry!!!

You say you had your period after 5 months. Has this been investigated?
Aside from that, many women (me included) find that just before the start of their period they have problems with their appetites. I don't recognise PMS symptoms in myself and my periods are irregular but when I start hoovering up everything in sight it's a good sign that the evil is about to arrive.
In terms of your binge...it doesn't sound that bad calorie-wise. Maybe 4000kcal? I mean it's a huge wodge of carbs and fat and you're bound to have acquired a few pounds of water weight which will go in the next week or so once you're back on track and your period is over.
One important lesson: never restrict after a binge. It just perpetuates the problem. Eat normal meals today (I hope your calorie goal isn't too aggressively low) and leave it at that.

I had an awesome binge day yesterday. I wouldn't call it worst because I loved every minute of it. I plan a cheat day every week to keep the eating fun factor realistic. Yesterday was over the top though. My daughter turned 19 on Friday and we planned a lunch out yesterday.

We had the lunch out at spring rolls including dessert. I had walked miles in the morning and spent the afternoon, after we had the lunch, re-sheeting our shed with my husband. We had an outdoor fire where we sat around eating marsh mallows. I had beer and a cooler. Then we walked the dog again and got chips and chocolate bars. We at all of them.

The only thing I kind of regret are the chips because my diet is normally pretty low sodium so when I go over the wall like that, I feel super parched and thirsty. I'm up 2 lbs this morning all of it solid bloat and water retention.

That still doesn't surpass the feedback I strapped on after my weigh in at my last meet. I weighed in at 56.1kg (123.7lbs) at 8am When I made weight I ate: pizza we had in the car for post weigh in purposes, calorie dense protein bars, chocolate milk, peanuts and m&ms, hot dogs, beer (after lifting was done), poutine, donuts. The next morning I weighed 69.1kg (130lbs)

I've had a 10k calorie day before--not my proudest moment and I'm not even sure what I ate. I was certainly too lean and starving for energy.

I had a worst binge today, which I eat a lots of chocolates ( Cadburry, GoNuts, and even a tea biscuits coated with a condensed milk) and carbo loaded foods! It made me feel horrible when I though of it, so tomorrow I am very eager to burn them off... Even drinking water didn't help me at all. Satiety center is acting like a total wreck today. :indifferent:

Well I'm GF and vegetarian so the foods I can eat are limited, but I still, somehow, manage to binge:
For the record, I was having a terrible day. Not that it makes this any more acceptable, but it probably explains why I did it. Luna Bars were on sale 10 for 10... I ate 8 in one day, about 500 calories of almonds, 5 bananas, 6 cups rice chex, 2 c ice cream, and 7 caramel rice cakes. Once I hit 3000 calories I stopped counting. It was baddd. Then I tried to recover the next day by eating only 1000 calories, and let me tell ya, never do that! Since the day following I was starved and I ate about 2300 calories. Ah well. We all have those days. Great knowing everyone binges terribly at times. Makes me feel a hell of a lot better about myself lol although your binge days sound SOOO much tastier than mine!! I question why, if I was going to reach 3500 calories, I didn't bother eating tastier foods like pizza, french fries, cookies, chocolate bars etc. hahaha but it's because I never intend to binge. Like, if I had a specified binge day and knew I was going to eat so many calories, I would've at least made them tasty calories!
