    Checked your diary. You fairly consistently net under 1200 calories and you are surprised that you are having a binge day? Be kind to your body and stop undereating it will help level your moods and lower binge behaviour.

    Thank you all guys. These forums are so very supportive and after a good rest I do feel a little brighter.

    As I said, I've been trying to raise my calories and if you look at my profile, you'll see that I suffer from EDNos. I'm trying and this is why I've been struggling so much.

    I hope you get out of the dip.

    One thing that really stuck with me is what someone said about 15 years ago.

    You need the lows to experience the highs.

    As for the weight, your binge (3500 calories) is 1Lb of weight, so unless you did that three times over before hand you have not put on 3Lb of fat. When you up your calories you probably, almost unavoidably, up your sodium so the amount of water you retain will increase. Also your body weight does fluctuate naturally, when all that weight you have been working so hard to lose has been dropping off you probably have not noticed the fluctuations as much.

    As said before do your best to avoid the scales for a bit, the binge will have upped your sodium by quite a bit. (unless you are prepared for any figure then step on them have a rant and enjoy seeing the numbers go down quickly as your sodium levels normalize)

    I can't read your profile its blank to public view so that information isn't available but your diary is open. Maybe its worth mentioning your eating disorder on an open profile (if MFP allows it) so supportive posters will be informed and can decide if encouraging you with comments like "dont worry you can lose that 3 pounds really easily" is wise.

    I think my comment still applies for anyone undereating. Either way, good luck with your journey to a healthier life.
