Day 6: Binge Again
So, yesterday was a not-so-good day, and today was even worse. I am embarrassed to post my binge, but if I don’t I will never be able to face it. I have to face the truth first before I can recover.
My “binge”:
3 Ghiradelli Chocolate Squares (180)
15 Hershey’s Kisses (375)
1/2 Orange (35)
1 Cookie (200)
2 Rice Crispy’s (400)
2 Choco-Mints (200)
1 Babe Ruth Snack Size (180?)
1 Reese’s Fast Break Snack Size (180?)
Total: 1,750
In addition to the 500 snack cals left over from yesterday and the 1,500 I ate today. Soooo, Grand total = 3,750
Unfortunately, this is not the first time that a binge like this has happened to me. I have tried everything to compensate, such as exercising like crazy the next day or eating only 500 calories. Neither work, since both lead to bingeing the following day b/c I am so hungry. Tomorrow I will try something new: aiming for 1,200 calories. This will negate my binge by -800. Then I will have 1000 binge calories left to get rid of, so if I eat 1,200 on Saturday and Sunday as well I should be all right. Sunday is also my weigh-in day, so I have motivation.
Now, more than ever, I need to schedule that appointment with a nutritionist/therapist.
Get that appointment made. And NO beating yourself up. Every day is a new day. You can do it.
