So I had a binge today

Posts: 6
I'm not sure why, but something in my head said "eat pizza, eat pizza, eat pizza." even though I didn't really want to, I kind of felt i had to. (yea weird)
I've binged and eaten a whole medium pizza today. Now I feel so sick. Apart from that psychological guilt My stomach is bloated and i feel like i am going to throw up constantly.
Any advise. I've been sipping carbonated drinks because i've been told that helps things (apparently) but not really helping.

It's only around 1800 calories, skip dinner.0

Fizzy drinks will just make you more bloated...0

That was dinner. Tbh, I've only eaten a couple cereal bars and that pizza today, so as a one off I'm managing to stay calm (hahaha), but the sickness I can't handle it and the pain in my abdomen is hell0
-
Idk. Have a pepto, some tea, try to poop, drink some water, and back to normal tomorrow.0

Log it and move on.0

Ok, so stop the fizzy drinks >.< lol0

At my house we call that "Tuesday"0

Mint tea will help with the bloating and nausea a bit.
Log it, move on and have a lighter supper. Count it as lesson learned, no guilt. Your body is rejecting huge quantities of pizza, its just not worth it for the future. I'm guessing the nausea you are feeling will make something like a piece of toast, an egg white omelet, or whatever your brand of ultra low-cal supper sound heavenly.0 -
Log it and walk0

i can't den think about food right now.
i might go get some mint tea cuz i really want to throw up.0 -
Walk- you need to get that food digested. Walking will distract you from the discomfort.0

The guilt serves no purpose. You are it, you can't go back in time and not eat it.
Concentrate on doing better in the future.

You call that a binge? I've had planned refeeds bigger than that. It won't hurt you, at worst you'll only gain half a pound in weight from it assuming that's 1800 calories over your total daily energy requirements. The bloating will go down over night, stay off the pop/soda though - whoever told you that was either winding you up or incredibly stupid. Lots and lots of water helps with stuff like this, it sort of forces things through your body. When you next eat, make sure you get plenty of fibre (if you don't already) for the same reason. What you've done by eating this pizza is basically the equivalent of going for a long walk and at some point tripping up. Getting back up and continuing is mega easy. Oh and contrary to what others are telling you, it's probably best if you don't log it. By the sounds of things you'll probably keep looking at it and feeling guilty. What's the point in that? It serves no useful purpose, you don't need to be adjusting calories on another day to make up for it so why record it?0

Try logging your food before you eat it to see what numbers it hits. You may see something in there that you don't like and it will change your whole desire for that food. Like everyone has said...it's not something to put that much guilt on yourself about even if you ate 2 pizza's. The idea is you recognized it and want to change it. Take it 1 meal at a time, 1 day at a time, 1 exercise routine at a time. You can do this!0
-
Keep yourself accountable anyway and remember - tomorrow is another chance to do well. Don't beat yourself up, you don't deserve it.0

I agree with (gentle) walking and mint tea. I love that stuff for when my stomach is angry with me.0

How do you differentiate binging vs just overeating?
Isn't binging when you have over 1000 calories in under fifteen minutes?

Under 15 minutes? I missed this in OP.
Because otherwise, a 1000 cal. meal is really nothing to write home about.0 -

Haha! Don't quote me on that. I just remember reading it somewhere.

Log it drink lots of water walk the bloat off and move on0

OK, so you ate too much today. Sometimes a good feeding is not a bad thing.
Gather your energy, focus on your goals and start again.
No need to dwell on a lost battle when you're still in the fight.

Overeating doesn't have the same mindset as binging. Overeating, IMHO, is when you miscalculate how hungry you are. In this case, say I had a pizza. I had three slices, and after an hour I felt way too full. I overate.
If it was a binge, I would have those three pieces, and then have a fourth. And then a fifth. I wouldn't have control in stopping myself, and would eat until it was gone or I could no longer physically hold any more food.
I don't have any personal experience with binging, binge eating disorder, ect...but this is the general consensus that I have gathered from people who suffer from BPD and binging here on this website.0 -

If I'm sitting on my couch surrounded by the empty wrappers of 20 McDonald cheese burgers and crying into my mcflurry then I would consider it a binge. Not.... You know... Saying that's ever happened to me or anything *shift eye*.
I find the difference between binging and overeating to be a very personal mental and emotional thing where we all have to draw our own line. It's not the same for everyone.0 -
I disagree about not logging it. Log everything. Make a note about the pizza even. Not for guilt. For accountability to yourself and for tracking your ups and downs. Also make a note about how your day was going and how you were feeling before you ate the pizza. Our slip-ups can be very illuminating.
Tell yourself, "it's OK." Read this: https://blog.myfitnesspal.com/2014/10/the-secret-little-words-that-make-healthy-habits-stick/?
Next time you consider eating a whole medium pizza in one sitting, remind yourself just how yucky you are feeling right now.0 -
I'm no specialist or anything, but I would add:
- When you binge, you do not eat like a "normal person". Period. We're not talking of a huge meal or a crazy Christmas fiest at Grand-Ma, here.
- No one binges in public or in front of other people.
- And ... typically, you will not talk about your binge (or will be vague and will not say exactly what you ate and how much) except anonymously, in a message board like this one.
That being said, overeating IS a problem in itself. But overeating is different than bingeing, and it does not necessarily call for the same solutions.0 -

Sometimes even way beyond that point.
True binges are nightmares. I do think that some people use the term binge when applied to food way too liberally, but if it causes as much distress as it seems to be for the OP... and they can't control how much they are eating, the word binge seems appropriate.

Very true, thanks for your input!
Also, since it's too late for me to edit it my OP, I wrote BPD when I meant to write BED.
