I'm freaking out that I ate too much today.. Help!

Okay, right now I feel so guilty cause I feel so stuffed..! I made a spinach salad with cucumbers, strawberry, and lite raspberry vinaigrette. After that I made so instant oatmeal it's original so it has no flavor and I slice up some strawberry's and threw them in the oatmeal. Then my family made some polenta and I had a piece of that. After this I went down and exercised.. Played 15 minutes of soccer, and did some cardio and that was all about 45 minutes of workout. Than At 8pm I made some air popped popcorn and ate some. So that's all i had but I feel so full and I feel like I ate so much! Am i just thinking this or what.. :frown:

    Seriously, this needed its own thread? Just log everything accurately into your food log, and you'll be able to see if you were under your calorie goal or over. Feeling guilty about food you've already eaten is a waste of energy, and your day as you describe it doesn't sound remotely like a binge. You're fine, don't stress yourself out.

    So you ate 500 calories and are freaking out. Seek help, your relationship with food appears to not be healthy. Good luck. :flowerforyou:

    Always give yourself ONE cheat day a week, It keeps the body guessing and keeps any diet you are on bearable. Don't beat yourself up if you go over, just try to do better the next day!

    You're freaking out because you're 18 and 18 year-old girls tend to freak out. Luckily, you'll grow out of that, but you'll grow into a serious eating disorder if you don't get help. You can probably afford some good therapy. So, do that.

    The fact that OP worries about getting into a size 3 jeans instead of a size 7 (OP listed this as one of her goals because I guess she feels fat in a size 7) is a red flag.

    You need professional counseling to understand what healthy is for you and that being healthy isn't a number on a label. Anyway this post is just attention whoring about what basically amounts to under-eating anyway, which is another red flag.

    I'm not saying this to be mean to you. I'm saying this because there's something wrong and you need to eventually realize that.

    Good luck on your journey to becoming healthy.

    Look at what I ate this weekend and you'll feel better.

    Honestly though, this sounds to be way too much worrying.

    I just got done eating turkey meatloaf loaded with shredded veggies and a wonderful side dish of steamed zucchini, summer squash, red bell pepper, and cilantro. I'm stuffed with no guilt whatsoever.

    Feeling guilty just because you are full is probably due to a dysfunctional relationship with food.

    Log and move on. If possible, you should look into getting some help with your dysfunction. There is no shame in that.

    Hi Michelle, Almost wonder why I am posting and perpetuating this thread at all as it just feeds towards your desire for being the center of attention. If you are really freaking out and are honestly concerned then forget asking friends for advice and trolling adverts for "rapid weight loss and exercise machines" of the multi-billion dollar juggernauts of the "health industry".

    Get yourself some real facts about healthy living - ask youself better quality questions the value of the information you receive will be equal to the quality of the questions you ask. If you are hand on heart honestly freaking out then get some professional help or at very least talk to a nutritionist to understand more about what your body really needs to function and be healthy.

    This chick is clearly lost and came to this community for help and all you guys are doing is calling her delusional. I don't think that's going to help her at all. And to be honest I think it's rude to assume she is abnormally wealthy even if she is. I understand her profile says Beverly Hills but when I see a rich person with a problem, I don't tell them to buy their way out of it.

    OP, I understand the anxiety you're feeling and so do a lot of others on this website. It's normal to feel guilty after you feel way too full. What these people are saying has some truth to it, though I do not think they are being kind about it, and the fact is the amount you ate is not very large. Because of this, it might be worth considering your relationship with food could be unhealthy. Because you are young you have a lot of time to nip this where it is. Try talking to your parents or searching in these forums more, and you'll find a lot of healthy people with good things to say about diet and fitness. It's never easy to kick a bad habit but I believe you can.

    Stay healthy OP! :)
  • Don't worry about the full feeling, it will be gone in the morning :) you didn't really eat that much... it's just the volume not the calories :)

    It's called "a day" for a reason. You get 364 more of them in the next year. If you're going to sit there in your head with it then that bad day will turn into a bad week. Just let it go.

  • it's LOSE .

    Loose and Lose are not interchangable - not even the same definition. Ugh.

    I busted my *kitten* on Saturday. I ate super clean and stayed active and was under my calorie goal... Then Saturday night happened.

    Sunday I had the hangover from Hell and I spent about 10 hours on my couch. I ate half a box of Girl Scout cookies and about 5 servings out of the family size bag of Cool Ranch Doritos. Oops.

    If you feel you've made a mistake, learn from it and let it go. Even though I feel like some of the individuals who replied to this were kinda rude and mocking you a little, I would be inclined to agree that you should probably seek some type of professional assistance with your health and fitness goals. Perhaps a nutrionist and/or a personal trainer. Just a suggestion. I, nor anyone else for that matter, has the right to look down their nose at you. No two people are the same and I hope you (quickly) find what works for you. Best of luck to you!

    Did I really just waste time reading this? Really. That is like 500 calories of food. You need to log your food and become concerned about eating healthy and not about fitting into a size 4 pair of jeans. You also need to get professional assistance because you are headed toward an eating disorder.

    Good luck!

    You for sure need a detox now. Maybe a liver cleanse. Or a body wrap. One of those. Or all three. Def do a juice fast no matter what though.

    Seriously, if you don't already have an ED, I think you could be headed that way. You need some help getting a healthy relationship with food if eating what you did is going to cause you to freak out about it. I know you're a teenager and lots of things can cause you to freak out (I have a teenage daughter myself and was once a teenager, too) but if you feel this way about food often, then I would talk to your parents. At a size 7, I doubt you even need to lose weight. Work on being fit and changing your body that way. Best of luck to you.

    The perception of these younger females are horrid. I wish they would take the time to figure out what healthy really is about and stop whining/freaking out when they overeat by having salad!!!

    I feel like some of the replies here are less than gentle but their intentions are good. Maybe it wouldn't be the worst thing for you to talk to someone like a therapist about your relationship with food right now (also don't feel like you're some kind of freak- probably 70% of this country has some sort of weird relationship with food!). That said, be gentle with yourself. It's ok if you ate too much today. Just take healthy eating habits one day at a time. Also, maybe you should take a break from this food-logging thing? Calorie counting is great for some people and for others, it's like instant-ED-just-add-water. Maybe you should take a week off and just try eating intuitively (when you are hungry, stop eating when you're not)?

    Everyone giving serious replies to someone who is clearly either a troll or has an ED is doing the community a disservice.
