Today's binge from hell consisted of

now, go back to eating healthy and you will be fine!

Yes, sometimes I eat too much, or eat junk.

Yes, it will get better!

Drink so water and remember tomorrow is a new day. Binges are okay sometimes, no need to beat yourself up.

it'll be okay..just start over tomorrow

YEP! Today was a chocolate abuse day for me. My new plan is to enter my food and exercise a day in advance, this way I will start my day with a plan.

Tomorrow is a new day and a fresh start !

A lot of people binge. But you should really try to uncover the root of why this happens. Are you restricting yourself too much? I use to have an eating disorder and binge all the time. Over the years I have tried to figure out my triggers. I find under stress, emotions etc I will binge. Also if I restrict myself too much. I will eat like it's my last meal.

What I do now is, I try not to let myself feel guilty about eating. Yesterday I said okay I will have 2 slices of pizza and ENJOY the two slices. Not think about it as BAD food but just moderation food.

Good luck. Start fresh tomorrow. Do not continue the cycle and really try to find the root to this

I like this response. Look for what triggers this behavior and see if you can, a little bit at a time, modify it! And seriously, we all need moderation, we all need cheat days sometimes, so it's OKAY!

Tomorrow IS a new day, and you should get up, keep logging, and move on. I would HIGHLY recommend, however, that you take some time tonight to journal about what happened, where you think it came from, and how you feel (both physically and emotionally) now. I'd also add how much sleep you've been getting, and how your eating has been going for say the last week (being super restrictive? not getting enough water?) Either it might help you to head off the next one, or if you continue to journal after binges, you will probably find some real patterns that will help you learn more about how to make better choices and NOT let the stage be set for another day like today. Hang in there!

Now I want a big mac! Everyone has a bad day once in awhile....it will be better tomorrow

Like Scarlett O'Hara said, "Tomorrow is another day."

Just pick yourself up, dust yourself off and put one foot in front of the other and keep going. The great thing about mistakes is they give us a chance to learn something about ourselves.

(((HUGS)))

I do that too....in those type quantities. I agree with the water...to help you digest it better and try to let it go. Tomorrow is a new day. I have often wondered the "why" of it and mostly, I just love food. Yes, stress causes me to be weak......but on days like you are describing, I just WANT it so bad. All of it. Drink the water and exercise tomorrow. I hope you feel better when you wake up:flowerforyou:

AND I see that you have already lost 70 lbs! That is AMAZING!!! Please don't beat yourself up......this thing is hard and you have been successful so far! YOU are amazing!!!! Start again tomorrow.

aww, sweetie you don't need to feel so bad. We all do it from time to time, just pick yourself up and look forward for tomorrow, and there was a post on here about having a free day, or maybe you could have something every two days.

Ex:

Monday, Tuesdays, Thursday, Friday: eating healthy non processed foods
Wednesday, Saturday, Sunday: Eating one meal of your choice, make sure it is one meal (a burger and fries for instance) and fits in your daily calorie goal (so do a little more cardio on these days) cardio example: go window shopping for a couple of hours, or do some jumping jack and aerobic activity.

It is important to develop an good relationship with our food, when I chose not to eat something it isn't because of anything emotional (this is the biggest reason for a binge, emotional attachments to food) but it is because I don't feel it will benefit my goals at this time and it will be there later.

I have been promoting writing to the foods we are craving or talking to them.
I have used this in the past to help develop a healthy relationship my food.
This will help create a time gap between the craving and putting it in your mouth.
It will also help you understand why you are needing to binge so you may be able to address that problem.

This is a note to my friends a few days ago it might help you :flowerforyou:

"What I do when I have a craving... I sit and think about morning that food, saying oh why have I left you? ((shaking head)) is it cause of your this or that? Or could it be for this or that? Oh I remember it's cause I am trying to lose and you aren't any help ((hangs head down in defeat)) that's ok my old friend, I will be back some day and we can enjoy each other even more than ever when I do And it's always ok, cause the food will understand and it will always be there when I am ready to come back Remember food will always be there later no mater how long later may be ((big smile and a wink))"

Then I followed it with this:
" I feel like I need to clarify this, my previous post is more of a lesson on how to develop a healthy and loving relationship with our food. No more abuse (binge eating, feeling guilty or emotional) the statement about how I will come back and we can enjoy each other more than ever is something I truly believe in. Food needs to be eaten and we need to eat, after reaching my goal I will have no emotional need to binge (abusing food and me) and will be able to enjoy that delicious food within moderation, slowly allowing it to pleasure my taste buds. This should be our goal while losing weight, and that is how I developed my healthy relationship with food. This may work for you, and you may need to find your own way. Good luck all, and yes I will say it my name is **** and I truly love food "

This is an example of me morning a food I just couldn't have at the time I was craving it:

"damn I miss my milk!! oh milk, why have I forsaken you? who cares about the coffee or caffeine, I just miss you I miss your thick creaminess and subtle sweetness. I can mix you with so many things too and you never disappoint. Crap I feel like a breastfed baby going through withdrawals, what is wrong with me!!!"

I would be happy to be your friend :flowerforyou: , just send me an invite and we can help each other reach our goals :happy:

I hope you have a wonderful night!!

1/2 chocolate cake
4 blocks of fudge
BIG bowl of orange chicken, one of chow mein, one of peanut chicken, 3 large evg rolls, chicken kabib
1 piece of pizza
1 mcflurry
3 apple pies
1 big mac
3 mountain dews

I feel AWFUL. Seriously, I feel line I'm going to throw up and cry. I haven't binged in at least 6 months.

Ugh, guess I'm just looking to hear others do the same sometimes and it iwill getbetter =/

You know how to binge girl! Congrats. Better to do it all in one day vs over the week. Enjoy it and get on track tomorrow

These things happen. You're usually really, really good, so don't stress it. I think letting yourself enjoy some of these treats every now and then (even if it's weekly) is fine. It's good to keep your body guessing! Like I said before, you've got really good eating habits so the binge isn't going to cause all your hard work to be lost.

When things are hard, just sing a happy song, and keep on moving! Woo.

(you caaaan dooo eeiiiiittt!!!)

i wouldn't sweat it. i treated myself with five guys today and went over for the day. and you know what? i'm okay with it. you only live once, so don't beat yourself up over one day.
