Sorry you had a bad week - I know how you feel. I lost 2.5 lbs last week and I'm finally through all my vacation eating (3 weeks of vacation - yay! but lots of weight gains & losses) and 3 business trips (more gaining, and subsequent losing) - so I was feeling a lot less stress, just getting back into the groove; but I've binged all week - I have no idea why!
I have learned that I cannot avoid the scale, or tracking my foods (I am doing WW online) just because of my binges. In the past, I would just trying and "forget about it" and move on - the problem was, for me, that I was avoiding it, not really "forgive & forget." There is a difference.
So I've forced myself to track all the details of my binges, it's not pretty. And yeah, I'm not looking forward to my weigh-in tomorrow morning, but I'm going to do it. It's good for me to see the consequences of my actions rather than just avoiding. Yeah, it's tough to see the scale go up - but it's all about accountability, in my case. I've gone to the gym and done my normal work-outs (though they haven't been great work-outs, at all....) all week, and I'm glad for that. I figure if I'm going to eat my face off, I need to at least do one good thing for myself...even when my body feels cruddy b/c of all the junk I'm eating.
Go to the gym! Even if you have a bad work-out, you're keeping the habit. Fight through the bad weeks, cause it'll get better - you just have to work at it and you CAN do it!
