So when I see someone say they just had a mini "binge" or are upset because they went 300, 400, or 500 calories over for the day, I always think "Geez, get a grip! That is hardly a binge. That will do no overall damage. Life happens, get used to it." I refrain from posting it though, aren't you glad?
But then......it happens to ME and it is all different! LOL See, the logical side of me still says to myself, "Get a grip! It has no overall effect on your weight loss!" But when it comes to overeating, well sometimes there is no logic. After dinner, I knew I was feeling snacky. I had an apple with a laughing cow wedge. That didn't cut it and I only had 90 calories left. None of my low calorie options sounded appealing, so I said forget it, done eating for the day. But it was overwhelming and I gave in and ate 2.5 servings of reduced guilt chips, then a chocolate bar, then 4 thin mints. (Those chips lie! They did nothing to reduce my guilt! LOL) Ending at 1779 calories, 564 over budget, putting me 354 calories over for the week. WHICH IS NO BIG DEAL!!!! Logically. I guess it is more the feeling of being out of control.
P.S. I also had one pistachio, one chocolate chip, one almond, and one dried cranberry, which can only mean......I was about to start into the trail mix when I finally got ahold of myself! LOL
