I gave in to stress and pigged out!!!!

My oldest daughter left for college today. We went to move her in. When we got in the car she said "I am hungry can we stop on the way to get something". We stopped at dunkin dounuts. I was just going to have coffee. My husband orders three egg and cheese croissants. I ate the whole thing. We got home at lunch time and my sister was in the driveway. She was going to lunch with my other sister. I went even though I really was not hungry. We went to the Old Country Buffet. Or as I call it  "the over eater's Buffet". I had a large salad,2 rolls,and shrimp alfredo. We had to go back to the college for dinner. I had a salad and  about 1/2 cup of baked ziti. When we got home my sister was there because she was watching my youngest daughter. She had a cake and I ate a piece. I could have stopped there but no ,no I ate 15 whoppers. You know the little chocolate covered balls. I felt so bad. I have not binged like that for more then 2 months. Well I am not going to let it get me down I just have to start from here. I slipped up big time. The difference this time will be that I will not continue to over eat. I used to do that in the past. If I slipped up I would just say oh well I blew it . I would then eat everything in the place. I did not even add up the calories I ate. I have been on a 1600 calorie a day plan. I know I went over that without even counting. I have to go back to the college tomarrow. I will make sure I stick to my plan. I know eating is not going to make me stop missing my baby. It really just made me feel worse. Thanks for letting me rant.

Tomorrow is a new day and you can start fresh.  It's got to be tough letting them go.  Hope you have a better day tomorrow though!

That's exactly what it is... a slip up...  picture walking on ice... losing your balance and sliding, but catching yourself before you fall!  That's all....   GOOD SAVE! Tomorrow is a brandy new day! 

awww, that was not so bad. Certainly not a great weight LOSS day, but no biggie, one day like that is not going to kill a food plan. At least you didn't eat too much in one sitting. (((((blue)))) your baby is ready to fly.

Stress is a ***** and makes me eat like there is no tomorrow.  Other things make me eat too but stress is right there at the top. To make you feel better....... When you said you ate 15 whoppers I figured you were going to tell us that you practically died.  I thought you were talking about Burger King whoppers. I was like, wow, she can put it away!!! LOL  So just think, you COULD have eaten 15 whoppers!!!!! and you didn't!!!!!!! See, there is always a silver lining.   Today is a new day, tomorrow is the past!!!

I was thinking the same thing about the Whoppers!  I was trying to figure out how anyone could pack away 15 Whoppers.  LOL

LOL, I would have died if I had eaten 15 whoppers. Thanks for the support. Today was a better day. I satyed on my plan. I did not cry when I said goodbye to my girl. At least not until I closed the car door and got off the campass. She will be fine.

I'm so sorry you had such a rough day yesterday :(  Things will be better today I'm sure. It's *hard* to let those babes go :(  Even if you still have kiddo's in the nest- it's HARD to see one leave. Your ticker looks like you're doing really well- drink LOTS of water, I bet you'll be just fine since it was only one day. I'm BIG into stress eating as well. Stress eating and taking "bites" as I fix meals. Hang in there! I love the way the one poster referred to slipping on the ice! What a GREAT way to put it!

today is a new day.  I am sure that you will be sucessful and that means the scale will continue in the right direction!  Congrats on not letting it go further.... 

Thanks everyone for the support. I did much better today. I stayed on my plan. I was laughing so hard when I read that you guys thought I could eat  15 whoppers (from Burger King).  I never eat fast food it makes me sick. When I left my girl today I was sad. I walked in her dorm room and saw her teddy bear laying on her bed. She has had that old bear from the day she was born. He is worn and grungy,and she has slept with him every day . I remember when I brought her home is seems like yesterday. Time is going by to fast. I know she is going to be fine. I also know there are a lot of stress filled days to come. I can not comfort  myself with food. I have my oldest that just started college,my middle child is starting high school,and my baby is going to kindergarten.
