Ate about 1000 calories of my "trigger" food tonight. Ack!

Tomorrow is another day. Look at all the other things that are 350, feel good with what you had. You could go for a walk or other exercise. Drink lots of water.

350 over is no biggie. Sometimes you're over, especially if you're making this a life change. Forgive yourself and eat better tomorrow.

350 over? Over your deficit goal?

That's nothing. Either move on or cut 100 calories a day for 3 days. Or do some cardio.

^this. If it is only 350 calories over your deficit, than you are probably just eating at maintenance, which is fine.
But if you want just eat less for a few days or do some more exercise to work it off.

I've done great all week, and had eaten well today - then I went to make cookies for my husband's gaming group tomorrow.

I cannot be around cookie dough!

So, now I'm about 1550 cals for the day (350 over) and feel gross. Anything I can do to help at least bring the calorie overage down for the day? Anything to help negate the sugar?

Even if there's not a ton I can do, I'm not giving up and throwing in the towel. I've felt too good this week to throw out all the hard work (completely).

When in this situation, I either go for a walk and forget about it or call it christmas and have a cheat day.
Either way works, and one day off track will not derail progress.

350 is nothing. One day of your normal deficit and you'll have made up for it already.

I am a binge eater, and I have gone 2,000 calories over before. 3,000 even. take it easy, drink water, dont beat yourself up.

First things first DO NOT let yourself feel guilty! It's not that big of a deal we ALL have a bad day. Do not try to work off, or purge those calories, and don't skip meals/snacks to compensate either.

Second, drink a lot of water, and it may also help to sip on a detox tea, I would suggest Yogi, daily detox tea (it smells like medicine, but tastes like Christmas. I love it) it is a very gentle cleansing tea. You can find it at Walmart, Price Chopper, Kroger and most health food stores, and it is always under $5 a box (nice and cheap). If you can not find it drink some green or Oolong tea, they are both great for you, taste great, help settle the stomach, and flush out toxins. If you sip on one of these teas DON'T add sugar or cream, it will lessen the benefits, if you prefer sweet/flavored tea add raw honey, lemon, mint, ginger, or cinnamon. After drinking water, and sipping on some tea do some LIGHT exorcise. Go for a gentle walk, do some yoga, stretch, go for a leisurely bike ride, just do something simple and calming (don't hit the gym yet)

Last but most important think of why you ate that much at a time (please be honest with yourself). How often do you eat like this? What else did you eat this day? If this is something you do often please read Brain over Binge, here's a free copy:(http://www.myproana.com/index.php/topic/120386-brain-over-binge-free-ebookibook/).
You may have Binge Eating Disorder, it is an eating disorder in which you binge (without feeling the need to purge). Visit (bingeeatingdisorder.com) for more info.
