Hiya

I'm sorry for my first post being such a depressing one, but i could really use some advice right now :(

It's my 21st birthday next sunday and i'd liked to have got to atleast 126lbs by then (i'm 128lbs and 5 ft 4 atm and my goal weight is 115lbs) but the thing is... i have an ankle injury right now (even using the elliptical seems to be making it worse) and i've also been binge eating alot, for example, today, i ate upwards of 3000 calories and a few days ago, ate nearly 4000 calories 2 days in a row... i know i need to address my bingeing issue, but i was wondering, if it would be possible now to lose atleast 2lbs by next sunday? if so, what should i do? should i eat 1500 and try my best to burn 300? (elliptical if my ankle will allow it, or exercise bike) or should i just eat 1200 and do no exercise to allow my ankle to recover? or perhaps i should just fast? i don't know... i'm so confused and upset by my bingeing...

I went from 189lbs to 128lbs with a healthy form of weightloss, but it seems now i've forgotten how to lose weight healthily and just cannot stop thinking about food! i'm just constantly thinking about what i can eat next and whether or not i can fit it into my calories.

please, someone give me some advice :(

if you've read this far, thanks for reading :)

    My opinion is - give yourself a break! Don't focus on the binge eating. Make a plan to re-commit to your weight loss tomorrow and then continue to do the things that you did to lose all the weight to begin with. I feel like when I get down on myself, it just makes it harder to get back to being motivated. You did it...let it go! Now tonite, before you go to bed...make an active plan to get back to it tomorrow. Start fresh - I am not 100% sure you will lose the 2 pounds by Sunday...but you might and if you don't, then don't beat yourself up!
