UGH...1st Binge since starting WW

mmel3283 · 01-18-2011, 02:28 PM

So I had a mini binge today...it could have been much worse I suppse.

Breakfast- Large Hot Chocolate and a Reese's Cookie

Lunch- Sandwich, Chips, Candybar and a regular coke.

I haven't eaten like that since October...I feel like I'm going to vomit...

I hate emotional eating...and now I know that it's not worth it. Because now I'm upset and feel sick...and pissed about eating all that dumb stuff.

Back on track ASAP...

It happens, don't beat yourself up over it. Just get back on track for dinner tonight and tomorrow is a new day

We've all been there, TRUST me! You know what you have to do to get back to how you were eating.

Hey, if this is the first time since October, i'd say that's GREAT

I figured it could have been much much worse.

I could have had a giant bag of chips instead of the individual ones. Or 4 candy bars instead of 1.

I just feel like garbage now. Barf. lol

Hang in there, we all have our rough days. I think with any plan it's like two steps forward one step back at times but as long as we keep going we'll make it to our goals no matter what. So brush yourself off, drink extra water to flush your system and just keep plugging along. You can do it!

I had a few mini binges already too! But like you, I said 'Keep going, no more binging!' You're right...it's not worth it and actually, I am kinda satisfied that I did binge a bit, because now I REALLY know it's not worth it.

I know exactly how you feel, last week when I failed my exam to be licensed as a Basic EMT, I immediately turned to food. I went through 2 days worth of over eating and felt so nauseated I couldn't stand it. Yesterday I got back on track and vowed to NEVER do that again!

You're only human and these things happen, don't beat yourself up, just get back on track =D

I never realized how crappy I felt eating food like that ALL the time until I did it yesterday. UGH! It was awful.

I completely understand what you are going through Marianne! I had a mini-binge last week and what suprised me the most is how incredible ill I felt almost immediately after consuming "junk" food! I had stomach pain and a headache within 30 minutes of binging. For so much of my life, there wasn't a day that went by where I wouldn't "treat" myself to something sinfully sweet or justify stopping at a fast food restaurant because, well, I deserved it. When you give all of that up, over time, you will start to feel so much better. I literally feel like I am going through detox. Best wishes for a better day today! You can do this! We deserve it!!!!

WOW! That is amazing that you made it three months OP. I'm doing well to go one week! That chocolate does sound really good.... urg.. ok, now I'm thinking about reeces. But you are right, that stuff does make me feel like crap, too, and I never realized it!

That said, you were obviously doing something right for three months! Hang in there.
