To those who struggle with binge eating:
In case you went over your calorie limit,
don't despair and continue eating because you "already fucked up your diet today". It's like dropping your phone and saying: "uh I dropped it, now I'll continue smashing it on the ground".
And don't be too hard on yourself the next day :)
New day, new start. Don't restrict because of yesterday's bad food choices. Just stick to your regular plan instead of trying to "even out" the intake. It's fine. One binge won't make you gain two pounds all of a sudden. If you're heavier the next morning, that's mostly water weight and will dissapear in a day or two.
Don't worry.
Stay hydrated guys <3

I love your post. I was such a victim of binge eating. Hardest part was my weekends. I would be perfect to my diet 5-6 days of the week and then I would eat a tiny bit of chocolate...then it would turn into more chocolate. Then the guilt came and I would just binge the whole weekend. about two months ago, during a binge I started to really think about how I felt while I was binge eating... I wasn't even enjoying the taste of the food. I would eat even when I was so full I felt sick. I got to the point where I realized that NOT only was I not enjoying the food itself, but I was "eating the bad food now because I know I cannot have it at all on my diet" The restrictive mentality of "never eating my favorite foods EVER AGAIN" was the pure reason I would binge!!!!!! This took me years and years to figure out. Now I give my self Saturdays as my cheat days. I eat whatever I want on Saturday (but given myself this...I typically cheat with lots of seafood and butter and tons of fruit and some chocolate) I don't go eat muffins on my cheat days... But the point is giving myself to let loose and enjoy foods I love helped me stop binge eating completely. Now I can enjoy a slice of pizza or a piece of chocolate without the guilt...and without that guilt.. you can really enjoy the taste of the food you love.

Panigale1199 that all sounds way too familiar...
Yes exactly, it's about allowing yourself some treats in moderation, without feeling guilty. One should not have to justify eating a cookie :)

You are correct ladies. You burn zero calories beating yourself up. Spend your energy focusing on building better habits to prevent the bad ones from re-occurring. That is much more productive use of your efforts. When we fall, we fall; & everybody falls at one time or the other. The only shame would be staying down. Getting up, dusting yourself off, & getting back on your plan is what leads to success. One cookie did not create my condition, hell a hundred didn't. I just didn't stand up soon enough. Work the long term plan & do not quit.
