Went to a wedding shower today & a birthday party & ate more calories today than I probably did all week. In the past two months I haven't taken a free day & I thought hmmm I can today. Now, I'm worried that I got the taste of sugar I'm going to want more.
Does anyone take a free day & how do you stay on track afterwards?

just log it and move on. Days like you had today will happen from time to time. life happens, just get back on track tomorrow.10

It's one a day out of the rest of your life. A little drop in the ocean. Get back to logging, it will be alright.6

I'm like beyond negative in calories today0

I think that's why I'm so much in shock is because I log in every meal & when I seen my log today, I was like wow buddy1

I have those days "once a month." They're difficult to log and I think, in the past, they've caused me to abandon logging altogether when it got to be too discouraging and guilt inducing. I'm more forgiving of myself nowadays and have been significantly more successful. Hopefully you take the others' advice and simply move on.

This. One day will not harm you.
If you can, log everything, and just go back to normal tomorrow. No need to do hardcore cardio or eat very little tomorrow, just eat and exercise as normal. It's not the failing/binge eating that makes us failures, it's not getting back to it that will do it. We are human and poop happens sometimes. Move on and forgive yourself.
How many calories did you eat above your normal calories, and how many pounds a week did you choose to lose?1 -

I've been under 1200 the past 2 months & this last month under 900. Today was well over 25000 -

Woah. Ok, you're eating far too little everyday... that's really unhealthy. Are you full off the amount you're eating? A 2,500 calorie day was good for your body and your metabolism! I'm not sure of your current age, weight, and exercise habits, so I can't say what your daily caloric intake should be, but I can assure you under 1,200 is unhealthy for even a bedridden 80 year old woman. I hope that you can learn to forgive yourself for this and perhaps consider upping your daily calories.0 -

This. So much this. You starved your body for 3 months? Not good.
You haven't answered how many pounds per week you set mfp to lose.
How much have you got to lose?0 -
Best advice I've ever received is "just keep going." There will be days like this again down the road without a doubt, but one foot in front of the other and just keep at it. Just like finding nemo... Just keep swimming just keeping swimming :-)1

I binge ate because I went out to a wedding shower & birthday. Not because I'm under eating.1 -

Most I lose is 2 1/2 to 3lbs a week. I have a very fast pace life so exercising is so hard to fit into my schedule. I maybe get to twice a week.0 -

Could I suggest eating a little more on a daily basis, then if/when you binge it won't be such a big deal. Think of it as a marathon rather than a race and aim for 1lb/week loss (if that). I eat 2000-2500 Calories a day and am losing at that rate, thanks to an active lifestyle.kimberly2402 wrote: »

If your life is so fast pace, it's very likely that you fall in to the active or very active category and should be eating far more. By eating so little you are probably losing muscle as well as fat which you really don't want to happen.

I used to eat below 1,200 calories and hardly lose weight. I followed people's suggestion to increase my intake because of dizziness, always feeling hungry and I work out regularly. After switching to up 1,700, I lost weight fast, from 128 pounds to 112 pounds in 2 months. Under 900 is unhealthy and unsafe, you are starving yourself and you will not last long in that eating lifestyle.2 -
I hate to sound negative, but I'm glad you binged. I'm happy that your 900 calorie deprivation diet has been interrupted (hopefully before you did much damage), and I do hope you will pay attention to the advice here and proceed with a self loving, healthful approach now.7

I eat when I'm hungry however I do eat a lot of green veggies. My calories dropped down when I stopped eating sugars.
How can I up my calories healthy when I already feel full?
I'm really trying to be serious about this. Guess I'm just an all or nothing type of person. Hard to find the medium in eating1 -

First, 2500 calories is not really a binge.
It's a day at a wedding. ::shrug::
Second, you ARE undereating. No one should be eating 800-900 calories a day ever, unless they are under a doctor's supervision.
Fuel your body or crash. Your choice.5 -

Exactly. 2500 is definitely not a binge.1
