    In my humble opinion-look at today like your binge day that you needed to get out of your system...tomorrow pick up right where you left off. Maybe exersize a little longer and eat less carb rich foods but other than that -just move forward. Don't beat yourself up.

    This is the right way to think ... and you need to start thinking this way too. :smile:

    You're awesome, you're doing awesome, and just because you had a binge day doesn't mean that everything you've worked on up to this point is null & void because that's not how it works, sweetie. Just return to your exercising and proper eating habits tomorrow (maybe exercise a little more or take an extra walk if it helps you feel better).

    It's going to happen and it happens to us all. Everyone is allowed a cheat day or a cheat meal. Without it we wouldn't be normal. Next time you feel like that hungry, drink a full glass (or two) of water. That will help to fill up your stomach. Another trick I heard is to grab some peanut butter from the peanut jar and eat a couple tablespoons. For some reason that satisfies most cravings.

    Also, I understand that we go on those little binges when our bodies are tired. Our natural response is to take in carbs and lots of them. So, if that keeps happening to you, I would advise getting more sleep at night....at least 7.5 hours a night where you are actually asleep. That means turn off all electronics, etc. an hour before you get in bed.

    Best wishes in your continued fitness quest!

    I was doing great with my weight loss,but today, i don't even know what happened but i just pigged out. I ate so much at night, like chocolate covered raisons,cookies,icecream,chocolate,pizza, all i could take in and i feel disguisted with myself and fat!! I probally gained two pounds and i don't know what to do, i just could not stop! I feel overly full and my stomach is makeing horrible sounds! What do i do tomorrow? I thought i should juice to avoid letting loseagain and having another binge day? Please help? :frown:

    You enjoyed yourself? I'm pretty sure that was a yes, so in that case pick yourself up off the floor drink plenty of water and poop all that crap out tomorrow morning!! Get up eat your breakfast like your suppose to and just move on. You really need to sit down and figure out why you are eating emotionally because "fasting" or starving (what I like to call it) will only set you up for another binge session like that soon after. You really need to settle into a routine that will keep you full and satisfied throughout the day and a consistent workout that will help rechannel those emotions that are pushing you over the edge sending you into a binge. I have struggled with this for YEARS and it's like trying to climb out of a deep hole that you keep falling down into. I believe much like most eating disorders, binge eating is something that is emotionally deep rooted and really must be addressed to resolve these vicious cycles.

    Ok honestly... it might be not such a bad thing... That is if you have been really good about your diet before this binge. Sometimes your body needs to replenish and a spike can actually confuse your metabolism and get you loosing more efficiently. I was doing crazy well with my diet when I first started sticking well below 1200 cals for weeks around 800-900 range but after about 3 weeks I totally stalled. I had a few really bad binge days and then brought my cals up to 1200 for several weeks and I started loosing really regularly. I am currently cutting down to 800 for 1 week and then bumping for a day and then I will be back to my 1200 cals a day for a week or so. So far the results are fantastic. After my most recent spike day... I am down 3 pounds =)

    Don't get down on yourself... weight loss is a marathon not a race... you are going to be living in your bod the rest of your life and if you can't have a bad day or a sweet treat once and a while what's the point =) Just say ok I enjoyed my spike now it's back to business =) good luck!
  • Think of all the sugar i took in! Now that i look back at it, yuck!

    Um this is horrible advice. I really hope you do not listen to this. Honestly, to each's own but that is extremely unhealthy and eventually you will crash into a horrible binge trying to live like that. It will be like walking around holding your breath. Why do people think if you eat you will be fat. Good luck and good riddance.

    Don't worry :) Everybody makes mistakes. I mean, one night my dad
    Offered me McDonald's and I said yes and felt so guilty about it. But the next
    Day I looked on the scale and weighed the same as the morning before. One binge won't make
    you gain weight. Just forget about it and eat healthy tomorrow(≧∇≦)

    If you have been overly restrictive in your "diet" then it is likely that you will binge eventually when you can't take the deprivation any more.

    If you want to lose weight in a way that is sustainable for the rest of your life, try allowing yourself portion controlled treats. No food is "bad" and you aren't "bad" for choosing to eat a lot of sweets on one particular day.

    Overeating is not a moral issue. Avoiding sweets doesn't make you a better person. There is nothing to be ashamed about. Having a more balanced/neutral stance about food and a more moderate eating plan might help you have a healthier relationship with food, which will ultimately help you lose and keep weight off.
