It's a stumble, not a fall or a fail.

Honey, I have done worse! That is nothing compared to the damage that could've been done. It's over, move on, don't look back and keep it moving! The next second we can't get back let alone day. We all are human and not perfect! You will be fine! Work it off and it will all Balance out! Smile... hugs1

We all have good days and bad ones. The important thing is that you recognize what you did and take steps to prevent it from happening again, or at least often. (Life is a marathon, not a Sprint.) Tomorrow is a new day, of course I normally point out that tonight is another meal, don't starve yourself, you might still be over, but try to get back on track.1

(hugs) It's ok, you had a tough day. You know rationally you aren't in any danger of gaining weight for the week. You haven't blown your goals out of the water. And if you had, so what? It's one week.
Try doing some nice things for yourself that don't involve food. As others suggested, drink water. Add your favorite calorie-free or low-calorie flavor or fruit. Take a walk or work out to your favorite music or show tonight (not when you have a full stomach!) . Watch some indulgence TV (I personally like Korean Dramas over at dramafever, or to pop in a movie like Spirited Away, your mileage may vary). Read an absorbing book. Call your best friend. Paint your nails. Pet your cat or dog. If you don't have a pet, visit an animal shelter and pet the animals there. Listen to some great music. Organize your closet. (ok I'm weird, I stress-clean). Take a long bubble bath, and make sure you use lotion after. Brew some herbal tea. Just relax!
2,500 calories REALLY isn't that big a deal. You are doing ok.
Ohh these are such great ideas !
Your are so kind
Thank you!

What sort of lifting have you tried? I tried a few different types of programs before finding something I enjoyed. The typical ones suggested on MFP are ones I really dislike.
oh my , I actually also tried the ones on MFP and really disliked them ! thought I was the only one tbh
Nope, I disliked most of the ones people suggest here. My current favorites aren't ones I would suggest for a beginner, but this is where I found one I enjoyed:

Here's a light hearted introduction to lifting that lasts one week:

Here's one that I think many newer people like (plus it has a couple of at home workouts):

Sounds to me like life happened. You're already on the right track after as you owned up to what you ate and realized how it made you feel! I hope tomorrow is better. I too use to find comfort in food but I'm now starting to find a different different way to cope usually a walk or an extra trip to the gym. Hope tomorrow is better

I'm not making this up, yesterday I ate over 5000 cals. Today, lots of water, Pilates and back to 1700. What's done is done. Learn from it and move on. Next time you get upset, go for a nice long walk, then if you still want the milkshake, go for it. But you probably won't.

It happens. Just start again today.
I went to a friends BBQ last night. The theme was "what can we fry in the driveway in my new deep fryer". LOL.
I was doing good sticking to the veggie tray until a friendly "Cards Against Humanity/too many Jell-O shots" drinking game and fried Oreos (followed by fried pickles, fried onions, fried chicken....). I didn't log the fried Oreos -- I just don't want to know. Oh well, at least it was fun.

Man. That's a bummer. The good news is today is a new day and you can do better. Just acknowledge it and move on.1

Me, too!
I have days where I just want to eat the world. Days I want to bite some one and end up biting something...or a dozen or two. If you're still not over maintenance for the week, you're good. And if you are over...kick some kitten next week (or maybe just the bf). Don't give up!0 -
It happens.....look forward, not backward1

Honestly, we have all been there at some point of another. As in everything in life, pick up yourself up, dust yourself off and begin again. There will be ups and downs but the secret is to keep going. When I get these craving, I drink at least 20 oz of water and just try to work through the emotional eating by substituting with something that is still yummy but not as bad. Good luck, and keep going...1

Tomorrow is another day. You just had one bad day get back on track and you can do it!0

Happened to me yesterday too, except I enjoyed eating all the foods. You don't need to beat yourself up just make sure one bad day doesn't turn into two or a week etc. Log it and move on.0

Last night for me it was tea, 2 chocolate chip cookies, large cheese bun, bowl of cheddar ritz crackers, 1 Kirkland cookie dough protein bar and a handful of jubjub's. This was all AFTER dinner.
I wish I could find my "trigger" but I don't have one. I was stress-free, happy, my house was clean, enjoying a cup of tea. There was no reason for over-eating but I found myself craving sugar and couldn't satisfy the dragon......
And I'm up another pound this week (I do my weigh-ins on Sat morning).
I believe these "over-eating" moments are definitely ruining any chances of weight loss for me.
I feel so good for 5 days, and then I always have a bad night of over-eating.
A key step in controlling binge eating is to clean house, so you don't have ready temptation of cookies, candy, and crackers in the cupboard. I no longer have cookies and candy in the house and it helps a lot.1 -

Today I've had a huge argument with my ex boyfriend and I ended up finding comfort in food ! This is very unusual of me , but I usually save calories for Saturday night , and since I did not go out today I ended up binging over food I didnt even really enjoy
I ate : 1 slice deep pan pizza , 1/2 a glass of milkshake , 8 pieces of sushi , 8 oreos , 4 pieces string cheese and 150g of Maltesers
My maintenance calories are 2000
I feel disgusted with myself and feel like throwing up
How is it you have access to all that junk food?
Rule number one when you decide to stick to a diet is "sanitizing" home, removing every junk or otherwise unhealthy food. Avoid keeping milkshakes/Oreo/Maltesers/Fat cheese at hand's reach. Doing so it will spare you a lot of frustration.1 -

No, just no. Deprivation will lead to frustration and binges.3 -

Don't know about the OP but many of us live with others who have no need to have a home 'sanitized' of junk or unhealthy (by your definition) food. I'm not about to tell my husband he can't have his favorite candy in the house because I might be overcome by a craving some night and get into it.
Better to find a healthier way to cope. Temptation will always be around in one form or another.6 -

For some of us, it works. Out of sight, out of mind. If it isn't there, I'm not going to want to eat it.0 -
Ooo, it's a four-quadrant analysis of your possible feelings/actions after an over-goal day:
May I echo others, and suggest selecting the upper right quadrant?

Since she fought with her ex BF, doesn't sound like she needs to feed a husband.
Cleansing your house as much as possible is a sound strategy, and hardly deprivation (as another indicated)1
