Help! Binged on 7 brownies!

Probably not a good idea to eat 7 brownies at once. One or Two might be more reasonable. But will you gain all your weight back overnight - doubtful. Drink a lot of water, get a nice workout tomorrow and move on.


Next time send me one of those brownies so you don't eat them all! :laugh:

Reward..for what?? a clean week.....you can't think like that unless you aren't trying to lose weight.

It's like a cheat day....doesn't work.

It's a live and learn....next time you will know better!!

^^^Agree^^^ the reward for a good week is weight loss, positive body change and feeling better both physically and mentally.

Please don't punish yourself with over exercising because you ate one too many brownies, or too much of anything. It can turn into a dangerous habit. Having too much to eat every now and then isn't going to make you gain a lot of weight or any weight. Food that is out of your safe zone won't make you gain a lot of weight back.

Remind yourself that you are okay and things are okay. Weight does not equal happiness. You aren't a failure even if you did gain weight back.

You're okay, things are okay. Don't worry. Please don't punish yourself because you ate more than you wanted.

We have all done it! Don't beat yourself up over it, it's not worth the stress! Move on, tomorrow is a new day!!!

Oh, and as another poster said...feel free to send one of those my way, that way there are less for you! ;-)

Looks like everytime I am near brownies I binge..if 7 is considered binging!

I eat at least a half a pan of brownies by myself..

I had 15+ duplex cookies and 2 pieces of fried chicken. Don't feel bad and I ate super clean this week and lost almost a lb this week! :[

If you have been working out really hard up to this day, and your glucose stores have been in diminished state, then yes, you are going to finally top them off and gain how ever many grams of glucose you stored.

The rest will be stored as fat.

If you indeed follow through with really hard workout, sounds like cardio, you'll just burn those stores back out and indeed weigh less. But it won't do anything for the fat that may have been stored.

In other words - don't worry about it, probably needed it actually. The extra cal's anyway, perhaps not in that form of course, but oh well, nice treat.

Don't panic.You're going to do that sometimes and as long as you get back on track the next day,it'll be fine.If you give yourself a hard time about it, you're more likely to think, 'I'm hopeless.I may as well give up now and eat another 7!"
Just expect that the scales might be up tomorrow/the next day but tell yourself,"It's no big deal. I'll be back to my BB weight(before brownies) in 3 days.Squeeze in an extra brisk walk or bike ride over the next 3 days and you'll be there.

do you need a tissue box or something?? go throw up if you think its going to kill you. its not going to do anything its just food not dish detergent.

Hey...Please make sure you think before you hit the "post reply" button.

There are many many people on this site who have issues with food. Binging, and other EDs. To include Bulimia!

Go look that up...and get educated. Never tell anyone to "go throw up" on this site again.

lol easy bro... people who complain about the miniscule things in life like eating too many brownies need to gain some sort of perspective. if they choose to throw it up so be it.. im sure that was her first thought in her mind after she ate the brownies, and she didnt... then i compared it to dish detergent which is a substance that is worth throwing up because its poison not some stupid brownie... read it in context before you order others around on what or what not to say.

Nice attempt at mixing your words around....

You will get it one day "Maybe"...you are just a young insensitive kid...hopefully you will wise beyond your overly sized ego

mixing words around... i stated why i put what i said, and if you just want to think im encouraging people to have atrocious eating disorders than whatever bro think what you want.

ugh people are so oversensitive on this site....I don't think he was advocating for bulimia. As someone with a former eating disorder I don't think it was overly offensive...and I still want a f'in brownie now lol

I love this:


I found this a while back on MFP (Not sure who the original poster was...sorry), and it helps me when I feel like I've over eaten. Hope it helps you too!

HOLY ****! I'VE EATEN SO MUCH! IM GOING TO BE OBESE"
I bet you're thinking that. I know I have. But I read this and it put my mind at rest.

"Ok.

Stop.

Take a deep breath and put your thinking cap on.

I’m going to hit you with some wisdom, ok?

Take your weight loss calorie goal, and just toss that number out the window. We’re not going to talk about that right now. We’re going to talk about that minor (or major) freak out we sometimes have when we’re having a really good week, eating really well, then we lose our damn minds and stuff our faces with delicious delicious junk food.

2000 calories is about what your body needs to maintain your weight and keep all your organs doing all those lovely keeping you alive things that they do. Your body burns all those calories at rest. That means that while you’re sitting on your *kitten*, walking to the fridge and back, scrolling through tumblr, etc etc.. your body is making you breathe and make new cells and **** and burns those 2000 calories.

To gain a single pound, you’d have to eat another 3500 calories on top of those 2000. Thats 5500 calories. 5500 calories is a ****ing lot of calories, okay?

Lets take a look at what 5500 calories looks like.

One slice of a large pepperoni pizza from pizza hut is 330 calories. You’d have to eat a little over 2 entire large pepperoni pizzas to hit 5500 calories.
One crunchy taco from taco bell is 170 calories. To eat 5500 calories, you’d have to eat 32 tacos.
One double cheeseburger from mcdonalds is 440 calories. 12 of those is 5500 calories.
21 cheetos are 160 calories. 714 cheetos are 5500 calories.
Was whatever junk you ate probably a bad choice health-wise? Probably.

Did you ruin all your progress? No.

Did you even eat enough to gain an entire whole pound? Nooope.

Are you going to survive, drink some water, go for a walk or run in the morning, and forgive yourself? Yep. You are.

Know why?

Cause **** happens.

But we move on, and we stay determined.

Stop freaking out. Forgive yourself."

Why do I always miss that???? lol

Don't know. You might gain. I flipped the brownies at the gas station over. EACH ONE had more than 400 calories. I was like, "OH, my God."

You ate the brownies. Log them. Move on.

It happened. It's done. Go forward.

ETA: Damn it. Why don't I check dates?!

Advice to someone who posted two years ago. I think she's over the brownies by now. :grumble:
