    Log it! Otherwise, you are only lying to yourself.

    You took the words out of my mouth miss!

    I've started logging mine and so far I've actually found it really helpful. By logging it, I feel like there's nothing to be ashamed of any more. It's also helped me to understand fully how I got so fat in the first place!

    i consider the term 'binging' like an eating disorder.

    no matter how many calories i eat, i log it. whether holidays, vacations, whatever. if im over, its okay. not logging it doesn't change the fact that your body knows you ate it.

    I don't log mine because it doesn't help me to do so. I don't need to stress over exact numbers; I just accept I've had a higher day and move on. If it affects the number on the scale that week, I'll be well aware why.

    I usually log my binges.... But when I rn over 13 miles I never log the binges that happen after... It's my present to myself for running such a long distance.

    I normally bank calories here and there so I do log my binges and I know it isn't so bad. I also find it helps me to binge less because I feel like I'm undoing my hard work. Not that it isn't worth it and good for the soul once in awhile IMO.

    I try to log them but sometimes it gets way out of hand to the point where I can't even remember or accurately log everything

    About once or twice a month I just go crazy and binge on whatever I can get my hands on in the house. I'll be doing great all day long, have my whole day prelogged, calories and macros balanced, but all of a sudden something happens and I just can't stop the cravings/binging.

    Luckily, I don't keep bad food around, but I'll still eat wayyy too much of things like nuts/nut butters, cheese, popcorn, etc. and I know the calories add up quickly. I never measure any of it so I don't typically record these moments of weakness and just move on.. tomorrow is a new day!

    Tonight after dinner, I had a few handfuls of popcorn, a Kind bar, and some Cabot cheddar cheese.

    So, do you think it's better to attempt to log what you know and guestimate or just forget about it and move along?

    I log my cheat meals... i recently re-made my MFP because I lost my login info from way back in the day. My brain is very number oriented, while I logically KNOW a candy bar (or something) is bad for me, SEEING it demolish my numbers really puts it in perspective for me. I've found that seeing just how bad my "old favorites" are, it makes it easier for me to pass on them.
