Your Worst Binge Since Starting Here?

Foie gras is being banned in a week here in CA so many restaurants have been doing "Farewell to Foie" type dinners. I splurged on an eight course dinner at Melisse (a Michelin starred restaurant)... each course easily used 2 oz of foie, yielding an entire pound by the time the evening was through. That dinner set me back about 3-4 days' worth of caloric intake but the biggest issue was the raise in my LDL levels. (So worth it though!)

Is that the government trying to legislate your eating habits, or is there another reason? Personally I've never had Foie Gras, and my doctor would probably freak out if I did!

I'd guess it's finally being banned in CA due to the extreme cruelty involved in how it's produced,

The ban passed 10 years ago and is taking effect this year. It's not a government thing so much as a lobbying by animal rights groups targeting a food product not many people are well-informed about. But the long story short is that I love good food and foie is one of them! (And yes, my doctor did not appreciate it. haha)

We had gotten my daughter half a sheet cake for her birthday. After her party, we still had half of it left over. Over the course of three days, I finished off the cake. I didn't even track my calories for it, but I gained about 5 pounds...

Today was the very first time I've anything I consider not good.I took my granddaughter to the movies and we shared a medium butter popcorn....it's one thing I can't resit...I tried to compensate and ate well and drank lots of water the rest of the day....was still close to my calories for the day but was over in my fats

Las Vegas. Enough said. I'm pretty sure I did one night where I drank about 2,000 calories, plus pub food for dinner. I gained about 2.5 pounds from the 10 day trip, so yes, there was an impact, but not a totally horrible one.

I had a FREE DAY where I logged in over 12,000 calories...lol
That's as bad as it ever got.

~ Picking jaw up from the ground ... but now that I think about it, that's totally understandable ... most people don't realize what a crazy day of eating out all day long can incur ... sad but true, we've probably all had one of the these bad boy days ... and that's ok every now and then.

:flowerforyou:

My free day is normaly Sunday.. But today I was lazY did nothing! I ate Ice cream and had a few glasses of wine Booooooooooooo and shame on me... but will do better tomorrow..

Today...had 4 slices of pizza and one chocolate chip pizza slices.

Just came back from a week in Texas and I binged every single day of my vacation. My biggest meal was probably from Pappadeux. I had two lobster tails with crawfish stuffing, shrimp wrapped in bacon, dirty rice. broccolini, and starwberry lemonade. I also ate bbq for breakfast, and even had a Red Velvet Milkshake from Toomers (Auburn, AL). I enjoyed every minute of it. As a result I was sluggish, queasy from time to time, and gained 4lbs. I'm happy to say that I'm back to eating healthy and working out. : )

Yesterday was one of my worst Y'all can view it if you'd like, clocking in close to 4,000.
But My worst was in October, I think it was.. god probably at leasttt 7,000.
My day: Oatmeal, Almond butter and fig Jam sandwich, Toast with Nutella and jam, Bag of Pita chips split with friend, Hummus, Bowl of Granola, Bag of Popcorn, Plate of risotto, 4 slices of pie, two enchiladas, Pint of half baked ice cream, bag of chips, more pita chips, two reeces packets, a bag of pepperidge farm snickerdoodle cookies, two twix, and i think that was all :P

Uh, mine would probably be the last 36 hours. Friday lunch: Pattymelt and fries. Then Thai food at dinner (appetizers AND entree, although it was mostly all paleo friendly) and a DQ blizzard ice cream late at night. This morning: an entire bag of apple chips (it says "5 apples in every bag!"), A big Arby's Turkey & Swiss sandwich for lunch today, double-scoop hard ice cream on a waffle cone for "dinner", popcorn at the movies, and then...taco bell mexican pizza on the way home from the movies.

I will tell you, the only time this kind of thing happens is when 2 things happen in order: 1) I hit my "new low" and feel AWESOME about myself AND 2) it's a Friday. Friday's already feel special to me, because it's the start of the weekend. If I hit a low weight and it's Friday, I want TO CELEBRATE. And the one thing leads to another and another and then Monday morning hits and I'm up 5-6 lbs or something like that. It'll take me a full week to be back where I was (because it's usually just all that sodium and water retention) and then to start moving lower again. Wouldn't be too big a problem, but it's managed to happen almost every weekend for 2 months. This weekend being the WORST. I gotta get a handle on it, and soon!

Mothers Day my brothers and I took my mom to an all you can eat buffet for brunch. I had mac and cheese, stuffed chicken breast, mashed potatoes and gravy, waffles with syyrup and strawberries, eggs benedict, bacon, hash browns, fruit and a cookie (just one everything in moderation you kn0w ;-) My sister in law and brothers were like "What about eating healthy? What about working out?" I said "Abs shmabs this aint cheap Im gettin my moneys worth"


I have zero regrets.

I have a similar tale to tell.
All you can eat Chinese buffet with family. Thought I was full after the savouries, but then I hit the desserts. They looked insignificant and rather boring, but they so weren't.
And because they are included you feel obliged to get your money's worth.
I did put on about 3lb the next morning, but am back on track now.

I don't call them bad days. they are delicious days!!! A container of ice-cream here. one of cool whip there. 2000 calories in munchkins for breakfast.
It happens
I have a bad habit of buying the whoppi pies that the supermarket puts out near the register. One day they had jumbo ones, it was 1800 cals of pure delicious

Delicious days !! Love it !!!
At the end of the day we are all going to have bad days due to one thing or another, the trick is how you deal with them, do you go and sit in a corner and sulk or do you get straight back onto it and fight ??
Love life and enjoy those bad sorry delicious days when you have them

I had a pretty bad one the other week for dinner I ate ten mini chocolate ring donuts, two slices of choc fudge cake, a haagen Dazs chocolate mini ice cream pot, a few mini cheddars and 2 weetabix with milk....
I felt awful in bed, stomach was literally turning over all night, so won't be doing that again in a hurry!!

I don't think I've ever had a proper binge (eating without really thinking, regretting it later etc). I've eaten a whole family sized bag of doritos in one day but somehow worked it in. I've had high calorie days but those aren't a "binge".

The closest thing to a binge was actually yesterday when I stood in front of the fridge eating out of the apple sauce container for about ten minutes until most of it was gone. I didn't even realise I was doing it.

Since being on here the worst day was when I ate an entire pizza that spanned over breakfast and lunch and then I still had dinner. I felt so sick afterwards. I'm trying not to junkfood diet anymore and eat more whole foods. It makes me feel a little better.
