I have been really good since 1st Jan and only had one cream egg. Been feeling really tired and run down at work and thought I would have something nice for a treat. I ended up having:-
Caramal Hot chocolate drink
Iced cinnamin bun
Caramal shortbread
Kitkat
Packet of mini hob nobs !!!!!
And my other half has got me a mini easter egg (cream egg) at home
Damn it.
Will resume being good tomorrow.
Big Whoops!!

I used to say "tomorrow will be better" for many years, and tomorrow never came until 5 months ago!
Next time treat yourself to something healthy. You will feel much better about yourself and physically will feel better, too. You are worth it.0 -

The thing is I normally do treat to be healthy, but just this once I was going to have a chocolate and have a bad day. Will just write it off. One day from 1st Jan being a bad day I suppose isnt bad.0 -
Its over and done with dont' beat yourself up. Just try not to do that very often, lol. You will survive. Stick with your plan and do your best. Eat good, get your excercise, drink your water, and get your rest. Good luck.0

I've found for me that if I have a little bit of what I am craving when I am craving it it keeps me from binging. I love Milky Ways so I keep Fun size in my candy dish. When I want one. I have ONE and keep it moving! This helps me not go over board.
"Tomorrow will be better" will never get you to where you wanna be!
Good Luck!0 -

It may be a lot of treats in one day, but I think you have the right thought. One day is not the end of the world. I think as long as your one day doesn't turn into 3 or 4 or a week lol, you're fine.
Good for you for knowing that you may have gone overboard but not beating yourself up over it.0 -
If every 1 out of every 35 days you splurge, you're still a rock star in my book. You look fab!0

I do the same this as hummzz. I have one and move on. I have an awful sweet tooth, it would be unrealistic for me to try and just turn it off. So I feed it a little bit every so often.0

Same here, I don't dwell. I know that I've been doing really, really well, so if I have one splurge it's not the end of the world! Yesterday was better, today is OK, and tomorrow will be better again!I do the same this as hummzz. I have one and move on.

I just had 5 cups of oil-popped popcorn...ermm..don't feel bad.0

Thanks guys. I know for sure that its only going to be one day. I used to be the person and my other half, to always let it turn into a 3 - 4 day binge. But I have been doing really well since new year, even my other half having goodies when I can just turn it away.
I think because of the way that I was feeling made me do it.
But its time to move on, dont look back, and just get over today. Im sure it will happen again in the future, but as long as it doesnt happen often, I will be fine.
Thanks again u lot.

Since I've joined MFP, I've seen just how much I actually binge. It's been a real eye-opener for me. Yes, I can eat quite well but all those binges are what have held me back for so long.
I have a friend who blogs about her weight loss. Since 2009, she's allowed herself ONE cheat meal per month. That's it. She started at 263 and now weighs 145ish. Knowing that she could have this meal once a month made her able to be strict with herself for the other days.
Maybe you could plan for a meal like that for yourself too if you need a release valve.
Don't beat yourself up about it but also don't be lax about it in the future either.
Or you'll end up like me at 50 STILL dealing with a weight and binge problem.
A question ... was all this food in the house or did you go out to buy it?0 -

I did actually go out to the shop and buy it. Im at work at the mo, and needed some fresh air. I never ever have the stuff in the house.0 -

Everyone has a bad day but remember it is not how many times you fall down (bad day) it only maters that you get back up dust your self off and move in the right directions. if you fall down 9 times get up 10 times and keep fighting. remember too that it is not the size of the dog in the fight it is the size of the fight in the dog. we are here for you.0 -
i think its okay once in a while
or else if you never snack once in a while, it can lead to quitting... for me anyway0 -
No worries, you only live once... so the occasional off day won't destroy everything you do.... just make sure you are conscious of it and record it on your journal. If you see it happening too often the visual of seeing "If you keep eating like this you will be X number of lbs in 5 weeks" is usually enough to set things straight heh.
But having one day that is not perfect won't destroy everything, it happens even to the best of us.0 -
Big hugs, know all the feelings around bingeing, almost have a whole lifes history about it. You don't have to wait until tomorrow, you can just get straight back on track with your next meal, log it as normal and go to bed knowing you did the best you could have just for today. In the morning you'll wake feeling tons better.0

I agree with this. You can choose RIGHT NOW to start making better choices for the rest of the day. Don't wait until tomorrow! You may not be able to stay within your calorie goal for the day, but you can still feel good knowing that you got the day under control after that morning binge. Eating healthy for the rest of the day will also give your body the nutrition it needs to keep you from feeling run-down and yucky later.0 -
I agree, don't wait until tomorrow. Start with your next meal. Good luck to you:)0

You're lucky you work this way. My problem is that if I decide to allow myself any kind of sweets, I go absolutely nuts. If there are cookies or doughnuts in the break room and no one is around, I'll say "Well....just one" and end up eating four. I'm terrible like that.

Im exactly the same which is why I never have anything in the house. I cannot have a packet of anything which say has 5 bags in it, or 5 bars, becuase I wil end up eating the whole box!0 -
oh dear! ive had a day like this too!! ive been soo good for the last couple of weeks! ive been working out every single day but after dinner ive had a chocolate bar and crisps my stomach looks sooooo full!! and im really mad at myself because it has not made me feel better!! i wont be doing it again!! x0

Thanks everyone once again.
I know that tomorrow I will just go back to eating the way that I was, today was just a glitch. I feel so tired and run down anyways, and my other half had brought me a cream egg egg, so I have eaten that and that will be the end of it.
I think I needed to do that. I do loads better with eating no treats at all, my only treat being rice cakes and lemon curd if I do crave anything sweet and that was working for me. Until today.
Im very grateful to have people here who care to post to me

You mentioned that you were feeling weak or tired before the binge. This happens to me every so often as well. I get weak and maybe even shaky, and then I have a HUGE binge. No kidding, like I'll consume 1000-1500 calories of bread-type foods in 20 minutes and can't get it under control until I'm stuffed. It happens very rarely, but I believe my body was telling me that I was deficient in carbs or something. Maybe sometimes binges are a benefit. I bet you didn't feel weak afterwards! :happy:0

ditto here. .. my friend kept trying to bully me into doing the atkinds diet, told her i knew if I had to go without, I would fail, counting calories means I can have what I crave every now and then without failing. . like today, hit BK to give a special dog a burger, and got myself a plain burger and small fry, it hit the spot, first fastfood I've had in 5 wks 0 -
Just hand in there...start better with your next meal and don't look back other than to equip yourself with a plan to not set yourself up later. I still struggle with bulemia and bing eating, a work in progress to be more gentle to myself. Thanks for sharing your honesty, we're all here for you. :>0
