I have binged so badly today...

I have been doing so good on Keto these last three months but I seriously binged and fell off the train today. I know what it does to my body. I know the pain I will be in and I dont even want to see the skale in two days... 🤢
I am so mad at myself that I allowed myself to be weak. I hope I can go right back at it without having to fight the urge.

Oh, this makes me so sad.
Don't do good. Don't go on and off trains, tracks, horses and wagons. Don't think you are weak. Don't confess. That's what gives you urges you have to fight, and you lose.
Set yourself up for success. Decide what you want to eat, when. Prelog it in your food diary, and aim to hit your calorie goal. Do this every day. Don't worry if you can't stick to it perfectly, because your goal isn't perfection, but consistency over time.14 -

@Atholinos my first 90 days was a very bumpy ride and even for the first year. Oct I will have been keto for 4 years and I actually do not even think about what I eat any longer.
Well I stopped eating any food with added sugars and or any form of any grain for pain management Oct 2014 and it works like a charm eating this was has become automated as in I do it without thought yet can find a keto meal most anywhere.
If one can do keto for 90 days then they should be able to do it for 90 years taking it one day at a time.

Making weight loss about your character raises the stakes in unhelpful ways.
No human undertaking proceeds error free. It’s just not possible to pursue something that involves so many specific acts as weight loss without missteps. We make inadequate plans, lose concentration at important times, have bouts of stress and fatigue, misread labels, make math mistakes, lots of ways to make mistakes. None of them are indications of weakness.
If your plan didn’t work out at some point, you need a better plan. You would be better served by problem solving than self reproach.
If you accept that problem solving is part of the process you can set aside the on/off program//wagon/train kind of thinking. Embrace the process and the scale will take care of itself.8 -
You know what? I'm not doing keto, but I also fell of the train hard, yesterday. For the first time since I started. Apparently I really can't resist birthday buffets ...
Anyways, it happened, I'm not proud it did, but hey, such is life. New day, back to the old grind. Nothing lost, just a bit of pride.4 -
Restrictive diets end in failure for me.
Nobody is perfect and we all make mistakes though.
Ask yourself this-
could you imagine eating keto forever? If the answer is no then it might be wise to look into a more sustainable approach for long term success. With that being said though, one day isn't going to wreck every bit of hard work that you've put in. We all have bad days.10 -

This is completely off topic but @GaleHawkins please see thread titled " discouraged" as a new member is upset that they were denied access to your group. Was wondering if you'd be able to pull some strings for them. Lol!1 -

Don't be so hard on yourself, mistakes happen. Whats important is that you recognize it and try to do better. Everyday is a new beginning. Forget about yesterday and start fresh today. Good Luck! 0 -
That doesn’t make you weak, that makes you human.

No one is perfect all the time. That includes eating habits.
I've been slowly achieving my goals for 3 years now, I have planned super crap days. I'm also down 185lbs because I don't give up because of a bad day or week. I'm planning on a "bad" day over Labor Day weekend - it's called the Southern New Mexico Harvest wine festival. I'm probably going to have a good 5000 calories in wine and bad food choices, easily. That one bad day isn't going to derail all of my progress, so it doesn't bother me.
So accept the bad day, and move forward.8 -
We've all been there. Shake it off and have a great day! 😊3

I searched 'discouraged' and found a thread by that name. While I do not have a group on MFP I guess you are referring to one of the Keto sub forum on MFP. Will you share a link to the thread you are thinking about? While your post may be off subject in one sense I think it is important that everyone gets access to any info they desire.
While I did a lot of reading on Keto back when I started Oct 2014 I found it worked so well for me and after 4 years is so sustainable without effort once it stopped all of my cravings so now I just think more how to do Keto away from home since I eat out daily.
One side effect is it has mostly addressed my 40 years of high pain levels letting me to better relive the past now at age 67. Currently most of my internet time has been learning how to rebuild a 1948 Model B Allis Chalmers tractor that I bought with a blown engine. It is very similar to the one I played on when I was 3 years old and started driving at the age of 5. I hope to have it in the antique equipment event in Paducah KY in two weeks so I best get to the shop because the crankshaft should be read early next week.
Now of this would have been possible had I not found a WOE that worked for me to have a better life by stopping my binging of the prior 40 years. By the way just because Keto was right for me does NOT mean it is the only way to eat to lower the risks of a premature death for everyone.
Keto groups on the web can be helpful or hurtful so be careful. The one I visit on MFP is AWESOME but the how to part was mastered in the first 12 months but there is new info coming out daily how to use it to manage or in some cases reverse serious health concerns so there is always new stuff to learn when it comes to the Keto/LCHF WOEs and old tractors.

Its primarily therapeutic for me. Have been doing it for four months. I have not lost any weight on it but I can walk again for five minutes and once I fell off the wagon I decided to get My
fitness pal to track Macros. I should have lost weight but because I have not I got so discourages that I was like “Whats the point” and had Chinese and Ice Cream.
Today I feel like a truck hit me.1 -

I found it when it popped up under new posts. Thanks for the heads up.

Therapy should make you better, not worse.
If you don't lose weight because you don't eat less, and then get so disappointed over not losing weight that you eat to comfort yourself, you will feel even worse, and need more food to feel better, and actually gain weight, and if that makes you more disappointed, you will need more food, and then get mad at yourself because you're "weak", and eat too little until you can't do it anymore, and eat because you're both sad and hungry... This isn't really going anywhere.1 -
One day does not mean that you are a failure. Today is a new day. Be positive!1

Thanks for the laugh. It has been a few years but I remember being ran over by that same truck several times.
Since I was trying LCHF to manage my pain and it worked after a few truck experiences I decided I would do it for life and have not looked back. Give it 12 months to smooth out.
By the way it was day 45 before I lost the first pound eating this way but I had lost an inch at the belt line.

Thanks Gale, I really needed to hear this. It's not easy. I'm hoping by counting Macros that I can figure out where the mistake is. I should have lost weight just by cutting out all sugar from my life but I haven't.1

Never hate yourself or beat your self up. You are a wonderful person regardless of what you look like or eat!
And remember it is not a ‘failure’ when we fall of our diet plans, when we splurge and overeat. In fact we are the strongest of all because we pick ourselves back up and keep going each new day.2 -
We learn today how to make tomorrow better3

You will learn from this and choose differently tomorrow0

Cutting out sugar will only help you lose weight if it helps you eat less calories. If you are just replacing sugar calories with other calories, you won't lose weight.
You really shouldn't be so hard on yourself for one bad day. Eating is not a moral situation, and perfection is an unattainable goal. Sometimes you just need a day where you throw out the rules and just get back on plan tomorrow. I'd also suggest that you need to find a way of eating that's easy for you, and no way of eating should require you to follow it perfectly, without fail.0 -

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I needed to hear this because I've been wondering what the hell is wrong with me.0
