    How about you do the world a favor and not drink and drive, k? If your selfish wants are worth putting others at risk, your *kitten* should be in jail. Binge there.

    Can't believe it was comment six before someone said this. Holy **** binge all you want just don't put others in danger.

    I see how you (OP) have back peddled this entire post to retort your "driving while your brain left your body" didn't mean you were driving "drunk". Fact of the matter is 1 drink of ANY alcohol is enough to alter your state of mind to even the smallest amount. You shouldn't drive after drinking PERIOD. It has nothing to do with how much or how you feel or yadda yadda yadda. Maybe you should speak to families of people who were killed by people drinking after 1 glass or wine or 1 beer or whatever the case may be.


    That is really all I can get out of this post. Less drinking would = less binging last night (cause you would have "self control regarding food"). Maybe you should think about that.

    Apart from that HUGE mistake....get over the binge because as everyone else has told you it's just 1 day and 1 day can't throw off your entire plan...unless you make it a habit.

    Actually, she did say she was sorry and acknowledged her mistake.

    I don't want to sound mean, but it could have been worse, you could have got a DUI for driving around tipsy. As for your binge, sometimes it happens, but what is important is what you do the next day. It's a process, and if you keep working at it, you can get to your goal still!

    Or, you know, killed someone.

    I see that...that doesn't change anything I said though.

    ETA: It was a bogus profile that has already been deleted anyway.

    No, it doesn't. Driving drunk is bad. I think we all agree.

    Just saying that she didn't back peddle the whole thread and that she actually has apologized, which is a rare occurrence in these forums.

    The OP went from "Well needless to say I was pretty tipsy!" to admitting to drinking more then driving ... but her claim of not driving drunk isn't backpedaling? Would you rather we call it the outright lie that it was?
  • Don't feel bad, just get back up and acknowledge that maybe you need to treat yourself a little sometimes :) Once you read about my binge you'll feel better (I hope?)

    I once had a huuuge binge when I went to italy. I woke up and ate a small breakfast, about 200cals. Then I had some hot chocolate, which is when the binge began... I ate half a tube of digestive biscuits, then a couple of croissants, then frappucino-milkshake-coffee type thing, a lot of gelato, a panini, went to the store and bought several huge chocolate bars, drank a bottle of wine, a big bag of chips (crisps) pasta, pizza, then drank a lot of shots of malibu, got halwa from an indian store, then we went out to a huge dinner and it was like 7 courses with lots of dessert and alcohol. I don't know how I managed all that... it was probably over 15000 calories!!!!! It was throughout the day but still....however i had been starving myself at the time and was very underweight so I guess my body was just crying out to me to eat!

    Keep going, you can do this! Don't let binges get you down :D

    First of all, no need to be so angry. Calm down.

    Second of all, I merely pointed out that she apologized for her actions. We all make mistakes. She made a big one and acknowledged it.

    I don't like to pile on people once the criticism has already been made, but in this case I feel it's necessary because this is so serious. You admitted to being "tipsy", you have two glasses of wine (one or both "oversized"...so that's definitely more than two standard glasses of wine, which are 5 oz), and then you drove.

    Seriously, you need to get it through your head that that is not remotely okay. Anyone who still thinks it's acceptable to drive because they weren't "drunk" (yet had been drinking and admitted to a buzz) needs to hear these harsh words if there's any chance they might hit home. Come on, it's 2014, we have all known for years now that having a couple drinks and driving home is stupid, dangerous, and probably illegal. 3500 calories consumed after your alcohol isn't going to sober you up and it's wrong to think so.

    Don't drink and drive. Just don't. People get killed and it's completely preventable.



    ...as for the binge, log it and move on. Don't use it as an excuse to give up, don't starve yourself, just keep going, drink some water, and maybe do some extra exercise and/or cut your calories by a couple hundred for a few days if you can do it without being too hungry. And finally...stop drinking. You obviously can't make good decisions after you've had a drink, so it kind of sounds like maybe you shouldn't do it. For your diet's sake, but more importantly, for the innocent people on the road. Come on.

    That's quite the responses you've gotten, OP...

    I get hungry when I drink. Not hungry as in "a sandwich would be nice", hungry as in "I need to eat everything in the fridge and then order Chinese". It's an immutable law of the universe that I've come to accept.

    If that sounds like you, I suggest you do what I do : when I drink (which is often) I make sure I have a (pre-logged and fitting) meal for after, maybe even a snack for when the booze wears off. Been working for me...

    Also, if you want to go for drunken McD (or Chinese, or pizza), walk. If nothing else, it'll burn up a few calories.
