I ate half pound of chocolate today. has that ruined my diet? feeling extremely guilty and depressed.?

Question

i ate like a pig today. I mean literally I can't believe I ate that much. I wanted to have a cheat day (since it's quite reasonable to have once a week they say) But the moment I "allowed" myself things I should avoid, I couldn't control at all and ate so much, half pizza with loads of dressing, half pound of chocolate, (in addition to the 1200 calories that I'm allowed to have)

What should I do?
It's night here, so I ate at night, not even in the morning or noon so that I could've given my body time to digest it.

how bad it is? what should I do? what harm will that do to me?

The chocolate was too too sweet,! Damn.

Answer 1

lol, we all fall sometimes, just go on a walk to aid in digestion.

Answer 2

It's over and it's done. Move on. Make a new effort tomorrow to be good about the diet. You probably allowed yourself to get so hundry for something nasty that you just went crazy. Have a small something to allow yourself a treat, but plan it and don't lose control. If possible have a friend pre-arrangeed who you can call who will talk you through a panic time and encourage you to stay on the diet.

· It is important to maintain a good diet so you don't compromise your health. Damage done because of lack of nutrition is not worth a nice body. Some diet damage cannot be fixed.

· When you deprive your brain,(your brain craves sugar) the brain will take other body cells to convert to the elements that it needs. And the cells it takes are BRAIN cells. OOPS. I don't want to lose brain cells to have thin legs. But I would like to have both.

DECIDE TO MAKE A LIFE CHANGE TO A HEALTHY LIFE STYLE.

1) fruits and veggies, all you want, organic, raw, vine-ripe if possible. Steamed is OK, sautéed is OK even canned or frozen is OK, but lots of them.
2) limited or no meat.
3) nothing fried
4) no FAST FOOD- is junk, no nutrition, empty calories
5) NO PROCESSED FOOD. if you can't pronounce it don't eat it.
6) nothing white, salt, sugar, mayo, milk, (or at least in moderation.
7) NO DAIRY-dairy is great for baby cows, your body does not even digest it properly. check out www.notmilk.com
8) EXERCISE- and be sure to refresh your body with water and fresh fruit
9) NO PROTEIN SUPPLEMENTS. Muscle is made from water, replace the water. You get enough protein from the food you eat, You get more protein from spinach than the supplements you take and your body does not get toxic on food protein the way it will with supplements. Supplements can really tax you liver.
10) Good supplement would be Omega 3, and Juice Plus+

11) NO CARBONATED DRINKS, or at least limited. They actually dissolve the calcium in your bones.
12) Calories in calories out.

AND DON'T GO NUTS, MODERATION.

Answer 3

this is actually a disorder called binge eating disorder

multiple episodes of binge eating then feeling horrible about it leads to bulimia

so one... try your best not to feel guilty about it and number 2, on your next cheat day try to remember what this can cause, it should provide you with the neccessary will power to control it.

If your still having problems I would suggest stopping the "cheat day" and start eating more calories each day around 1500.

Answer 4

don't give up people slip off of their diets all the time, the key is to go back on the diet and remember the guilt u feel now, everytime u feel like eating a lot again....

Answer 5

Pastries and chocolate? sounds such as you had a coarse day. do no longer beat your self up. you are able to go returned on your nutrition plan the following day. Drink a lot of water, too. Forgive your self. it is barely chocolate:)

Answer 6

The best thing to do is to forget about it and start with a brand new day. The guilt doesnt help something that is already done.

Answer 7

It's done, so no sense agonizing over it. Just go back to your diet. You might want to reconsider allowing yourself "cheat" days.

Answer 8

keep on going :)
