I feel so sick and hate myself. What would you do? I feel like trash. The second I reached my goal weight, I started binging like it was a 2nd job.

log them
then go back to weighing and logging your food to hit your calories
and explain to me what a donut hole is please

Because they were there. If I had donut holes in front of me, I would probably eat them too.

The point here is losing in a sustainable way, if you're bingeing because you reached your goal weight, then you didn't learn that "sustainability", which means you need to continue weighing and measuring.
J. a donut hole the part of a donut that was in the middle but is now is a hole, (little ball of donut).0 -
Did you cut out your favorite treats while you were losing?
Try not to be so hard on yourself!
Forgive yourself and continue on (minus the binges of course)
Make sure you are eating enough and treating yourself to a portion or 2 when you want it.

what would i do? i'd log it and then i'd think about why i'd binged. most people binge because they're eating their feelings or have their calorie goal too low.0 -
So, we're talking about around 1800 calories. If it were me, I would put three hours in on the bicycle and burn them off, but not while I was feeling sick from eating them.0

OMG .. sounds yum .. needs to be injected with raspberry jam though 0 -

Donut holes really should be called donut middles. It is the middle of the donut that is cut out. I would call that a celebration, now forget it about it, and go forward!0

Those exist. Except I think it's typically strawberry

A donut hole is a piece of donut that makes up the hole left in a donut. It's not a hole, but what used to be in the hole, lol. In Canada, we call them Timmies.
Like others said, log it and take a hard look at why you ate them. To me, 30 donut holes and 3 bowls of popcorn sound good.

those are delicious! but don't be too hard on yourself. one night won't change a thing! tomorrow's a new day, make it count. ;-)0

Congrats on reaching your goal. The same thing would happen to me whenever I got on the scale. If I lost I would binge, if I gained I would binge so I stopped getting on the scale. We all have been there, do better tomorrow, exercise a little more. Don't beat yourself up!0

Don't feel bad because you can allow yourself to have a cheat meal once a week as long as you log the calories and move on from there. You don't have to feel guilty just make sure the rest of the week you eat clean and log your calories. Next time I'd suggest eating them in moderation0

I
Timmies.
I've had the cashier at Dunks give me like 40 Munchkins when I order 25.
So the person at Timmy's was either very generous with the TimBits or it's a staged picture and there's a box inside the box to make it look overflowing.
I now want TimBits. Thankfully, I live in Maine now where there are Timmys.0 -

This.
Log it and move on. Then evaluate whether what you were doing previously was sustainable. If not, then you need to work on that.0 -

I ate everything I wanted over the festive season and didn't really count anything. Despite my terrifying lack of control, I gained 1 lb over the entire month. So have a think about why you felt this happened, think about ways to prevent it in future, but don't make yourself feel bad about it. Life isn't all about counting calories and chomping carrots

You don't need to "eat clean" to lose weight, gain weight, or maintain weight.
Donuts can be eaten daily in moderation as long as they are a part of a balanced diet and within your calorie & macro goals.0 -

Based on this post and your profile, it sounds like you have some mental health stuff to work through with a professional.0

A lot of focus on what you ate... and not the why behind it. Bingeing is typically emotional... a coping mechanism for stress, anger, guilt, etc. The other possibility is you look at food as a "reward" for having accomplished a goal.
I'd log it, seek professional help if you need it for whatever the emotional driver is, and find other non-food rewards for meeting goals if it was a reward to yourself. If it was just a cheat day, then it is what it is... but in this thread only you know the answer to that.0 -
Let me tell you, I know a thing or two about losing control and bingeing. (No, spell check, I REFUSE to spell that "binging"). It's okay to make mistakes, and while you should NOT beat yourself up and make yourself feel like poo, I do think it's good that you're regretful - perhaps that will make it easier in the future to avoid the binge or at least keep you off a binge for longer than you might normally. Who knows?
Log your calories just like any other day - and be 100% honest about them. We may be tempted not to always log honestly, but just because we choose not to log certain foods doesn't mean the foods aren't taking a toll on us.
If you want to "make up" for it, but not outright starve yourself, do a little math. Multiply your everyday goal by 7; subtract the number of calories you had today; now divide that number by 6. This number, provided it isn't dangerously low, is a goal you can stick to for the next six days. So say my goal is normally 1600, but after dinner at the steakhouse with Hubby, I had 2200 calories today and NO exercise. I will probably feel a little defeated. 1600 x 7 = 11,200; 11,200 - 2200 = 9000; 9000 / 6 = 1500; so 1500 = my reduced daily goal for the upcoming week. Even though in this scenario I went a full 600 calories over my goal today, I only need to do 100 less every day this week to feel like I've made up for it.
As anyone else can, will, and some have already said to you, make sure you aren't giving up all of your favorite foods. That's a sure way to binge in the near future. Personally, what helps me is planning all my day's meals in the morning (some people plan the night before). I plan my breakfast, lunch, dinner, and often healthy snacks. Sometimes I'll skip a meal in order to plan for a dinner out with my husband. Other times I may skip lunch or halve my breakfast in order to plan for a tasty milkshake after dinner - which means I get to satisfy my sweet tooth without feeling guilty or going over my goal.
This isn't an easy thing for us to do, not one bit. Let me tell you, as you grow, as you learn new tools and methods to keep you going, and even as you make MISTAKES, it gets easier. But it only gets easier if you use what you've learned, both from your mistakes and the mistakes of others.0 -
they are called timbits..... timmies is like oh im going to timmies for a coffee. so ya. tim bits, because tim didnt give a *kitten* and wanted to sell his bits to the people0 -
you wont stay at your goal weight eating like that but you know that. Today is a new day, make better choices, maybe squeeze in some extra exercise. Dont deprive yourself of your favorite things, just enjoy them in moderation and make sure you log them/ leave room for them in your daily numbers! 0

It appears I can't edit my post, but I just realized a much easier method for figuring out how to reduce your calories in the upcoming week would be Today's Total - Daily Goal = Extra Calories. Then Extra Calories / 6 = Daily Calorie Reduction. So every day for the next six days, Daily Goal - Daily Calorie Reduction = Temporary Reduced Goal.0
