Such an unhealthy day for me :(

OP. Ummm... I'm concerned for you. I think you're being way too harsh on your body. I saw the thread of yours that got deleted and... well... it wasn't good. Be kind to yourself!0

We all have our days when we blow our diets. One day does not make or break you or your goal. I am also very concerned with your past posts and this one. Under eating and over exercising are not a healthy approach to weight loss. You seem to reach out on these boards for help, I hope and pray, that you have the strength needed to reach out for the help you need. If you are in therapy right now, a call to him or her, might be in order.OP. Ummm... I'm concerned for you. I think you're being way too harsh on your body.

Nice cop-out. You should've backpedaled for added effect, but you'd probably call that extreme exercise too.0 -

Not at all. I think your advice was terrible, you don't, i have no more time to spend on this discussion that's rapidly going nowhere and achieving nothing, the end.0 -

Brilliant.
Step 1: Engage someone with whom you disagree.
Step 2: Elicit discussion from them.
Step 3: Dismiss them by the online equivalent of sticking your fingers in your ears and saying "blah blah" after you have no ammo left.
Step 4: Lean toward it not being worth your while and then come back after you've already said you're going.
Why don't you push on a wrinkle in your own game and come back and talk again? Or are you not going to double down on the infantile tactic this time and stick to leaving it at step 3 (which was still hilariously infantile)?-3 -

You come off as a pretentious douche bag. In case you didn't know.
And you all are derailing this thread with your little squabble.0 -
what on earth is going on here??0

Offer advice -> get criticized for not using pinpoint accuracy to spoon-feed someone even though it still gives them an idea about what they can do -> tell the critic why the grain of the advice still works in a world where people can listen to their own bodies -> critic hilariously deflects.

OP, I was dogsitting, and my client left homemade snickerdoodle cookies. WEll.......I was going to JUST have 2. Ten cookies later I was saying, might as well eat em' all. That way they are gone and not a temptation.
By the end, I had eaten 22 snicker doodle cookies. *burp*
I had to laugh. I'm a cookieaholic!
Anyway, I took a day off from weighing, did not need as much food the next day cause I was still filled up with snickerdoodles, to be honest. And then weighed the next day like it was just another diet day.
I learned........ah, that I am not ready to be around snack food. Two, I am truly missing cookies and cake. Three, that food is JUST food......nothing dire happened. and Four, that I really would prefer to not repeat that scene.
No big deal. Just learn and move on.0 -

I don't know why that thread got deleted... but I got a warning. I was just talking about a medical situation, a normal reaction of body to overeating.0 -

Definitely! No more parties for me, only healthy snacks at my dorm.

I just think therapy is not helpful enough. Sharing here and getting your advices seem far better than having a therapy. Here people understand me, and tell me what I need to hear. Thank you so much! 0 -
I agree with the above posters that you should not beat yourself up. It's one day. You are doing fine overall, right?
If you must, compensate for today to satisfy your own feelings try making a small change for a few days.
Like stated above, just take 100 or 200 calories off oz your days for a week or so. So if you normally eat 1600 calories eat say 1500.
Or if you don't like that idea, how about add 15-30 mins/day to you cardio for a week.
Or you can just stick to your normal routine going forward and the extra calories from today will not have a big impact on your weight loss.
All your hard work is not lost from one unplanned, excesive day. Just stay in the fight. You can do this!
I guess I'll add yoga to my cardio. Because it helps me control my mind, which would help me control my binge eating Thanks for your comment. 0 -

Such is life, no one can be 100% perfect 100 % of the time.
Today is a new day and yesterday is already forgotten. I'm not going to drive myself nuts stressing out over every little calorie I went over. I had a wonderful day with my family, and that's all that matters
You are right. I enjoyed the company of my family too I just don't want this to become a habit. 0 -

If you have disordered thoughts on eating, it really is important to eat the reasonable amount of calories (TDEE - 15 or 20%) and wait longer for the weight loss to occur. Too many dangerous psychological things come into play if you do it too aggressively (and it's way too hard for no good reason, too).
You are right
I believed I was doing just fine cutting lots of calories and still feeling great, but then bingeings started to occur... 0 -

OP has posted in other threads that she is riding a low calorie net as it is, as well as setting a very aggressive weight loss rate target, and the binging is very likely a reaction to getting to the breaking point. WingardiumLeviosa, there are people here who have been through the kinds of things you're struggling with -- please let them help
Okay Thank you for your comments. You help more than you think you are. 0 -

However, I note that you have other postings that have raised alarm bells in other and while I have not seen them myself I will add another +1 in getting help if you are struggling with disordered feelings and behaviours around food.
Life ie. special events such a parties etc re always going to happen so the wisest thing is to prepare for the event in a healthy sustainable way.....some suggest eating maybe 100 calories less in the days before so you give yourself a bigger margin or by lowering by 100 for the next few days after. No need to cut drastically.
I wish you the best.
thank you, yes I plan on eating even better and lower than before for the next week, and observe the difference. For a long time I avoided fresh food and only ate canned food, now it is time to start cooking for myself.0 -

You certainly didn't gain 2 kg of fat, though, not unless that "over 2000" was "over 15,400".
All you did was refeed a bit, you replenished the glycogen in your muscles and liver which was partially depleted before, and you retained water to balance the new molecules of glycogen.
Don't beat yourself up, that's the least healthy thing of all to do, and don't worry about trying to severely restrict yourself tomorrow. Just stick to your normal goal tomorrow. You don't gain weight or lose weight in a day, it's the long term that matters.
I plan on buying "Waterex" for it, I read online that it prevents water retention. It seems like a helpful supplement.0 -

Next time there's an event, drink a lot of water and have things with not many calories but a lot of caloric density before attending so you feel full quicker, such that any possible over-indulgence narrows.
I would like to run, but I had asthma as a kid, so I can't. It ruins me in few seconds and then I cannot continue exercising in any other way. That's why I use elliptical in slow but strong pace.0 -
Today is done. Tomorrow you start where you left. No big deals, really. Don't restrict yourself, maybe take 100/200 calories off your total, for a few days. But if you don't it's not a disaster, don't worry.
People here think my regular total is already very low, so I shouldn't cut even more 0 -

Excellent ..I'm pleased you are addressing this in the appropriate way...in real life
Do you really not realise that when you talk about vomiting in terms of losing 1kg of weight it sets off a huge warning klaxon that you really should talk to your psychotherapist about
Look, none of us are perfect, we all have issues. Realising them is half the battle. And it looks to me if you're accessing help you're halfway there
So when you post crackpot thoughts imma just gonna continue to point them out in my regular British mum way. Cos were all someone's daughter, we're all someone's son

You are right... I can't believe I ate that much to the extend my stomach couldn't keep it in anymore. I believe the analysis for it would be the fact that I was craving the love and affection, and I tried to gain it through food, not through people.0 -

Bollocks
You were at a kids party, around yummy food and you ate it. You relaxed your control and the floodgates opened.
You have been restricting so once you started eating you couldn't stop. almost like you're getting one over on yourself.
So when you look back, you learn. If you didn't overly restrict during your normal diet would you feel such am impulse to over-indulge? Probably not. Work on that, work on allowing yourself foods you love and eating a decent number of calories to achieve a slow and steady weight loss.
