I was feeling depressed last night, and I had run out of calories. So, I consumed about 1000 calories in alcohol along with almost an entire extra large chicken spinach pizza (I'm guessing 3500 calories in the pizza, but this is likely an underestimate). Along with this I had a liter of pink lemonade (500). Then, I got 8 things from a vending machine - 2 pastries (1000), 2 bags of chips (400), 4 candy bars (600).

Lastly, I woke up in the middle of the night and had 4 poptarts (800).

I don't think I would be too upset except this was all JUNK food, and probably is going straight to my belly in the form of...7000+ calories.

So, I guess I gained at least 2 pounds yesterday. Even after losing the water weight throughout today, though, my scale has be up about 7 pounds. Well, now I'm feeling depressed/unmotivated to do my schoolwork, so I figured I would post.

I can get back to where I was at, but it will take me all the way until thanksgiving. And then, I'll have to have a low-calorie thanksgiving dinner thanks for me drunken stupor!!


=(
 
I have been there and done it too. I thingk one of the hardest things is to remember that each day is a new chance to start over. My doctor told me it's a journey and not a project. Good luck and stay strong.
 
there are lots of online confession sites you might want to use - instead of posts like this..

and the like

what do you expect to get out of a confession like this? everyone patting you ont he back andtelling you it'll be ok?
Punishment?

What do you want?

Why did you binge? What would/should/could you do in the future?

You made the choice to eat all you did...

Get over it and get on with it... you can't change the past - go forward and do better

I'm sorry, I know how you feel as I've been there many times. Don't think badly about yourself but do allow yourself to really feel how bad you feel after binging... remember that feeling. That will help you to avoid doing it again. I'm finding that eventually as you remember that bad feeling where the binging leads you that you begin to avoid it. I'm not saying it happens fast...wish it did but it has taken me a long time and I'm not all the the way there yet, just doing better.

Feeling discouraged or depressed or emotionally hurt leads me to binging too. I've discovered that you can learn to recognize the symptoms and the next time not let yourself go there. Sometimes I succeed...sometimes I don't but I notice even when I start to binge now I don't let it go on so long, so I don't consume quite as many calories. So I hope you can learn to do this too.

This has been one of my problems...I do so well for a while, make some progress and then for some reason I slip back into overeating and then have to work so hard at just getting back where I was. So believe me, I feel for you! But just pick yourself up and get back on track..never give up, you can win this battle!
 
aww well I'm in a simliar boat. I ate half a cheese pizza, an order of cheesy sticks, doritos, three sugar cookies and drank soda with it all. I dont even drink soda on normal days...wtf? lol....I TRY to tell myself that its ok and we all have our days, and I try not to count the calories when I know Im having an off day...but I already know whats in all the food so I cant stop myself from doing the math! it sucks, but there is nothing you or I can do but forget about it..tomorrow is a new dayyyyy
